The End of Woman | Carrie Gress

I heard Carrie Gress on the podcast Pints with Aquinas a number of months ago. I knew from the portions I listened to that I wanted to read The End of Woman: How Smashing the Patriachy Has Destroyed Us.

I was especially interested in her discussion about First Wave Feminists because they are held up as different and more noble by even many fairly conservative Christians today. You will hear conservative Christian women identify themselves as a “First Wave Feminist” because they believe the beginning of the feminist movement was a good and necessary thing. They argue it was only later that feminism went off the rails. Gress’ take (based on her extensive research and what she said in the interview) is completely different. 




The first paragraph on the back cover states:

Feminism, the ideology dedicated to “smashing the patriarchy,” has instead made male lives the norm for everyone. After fifty years of radical feminism, we can’t even define “woman.” In this powerful book, Carrie Gress says what cannot be said: feminism has abolished women.

I have just started it so I can’t offer a detailed review. However, based on the interview and flipping through my copy of the book, I think it is worth checking out if this topic interests you.

The chapters are:

Part 1: The Lost Girls

  • Mary, the First Feminist
  • Mary and the Romantics
  • Elizabeth and Seneca’s Fall
  • Betty and the Communist Mystique
  • Kate and the Lost Girls’ Triumph
  • Gloria and Selling Feminism

Part II: The Means Girls

  • The Queen Bees and Power
  • Patriarchy Smashing

Part III: No Girls

  • Margaret and Ls
  • Simone and T

Part IV: The Way Home

  • Restoration
  • Mother

Gress is a Catholic, but this book was specifically written to reach a broader audience (as opposed to her other books that are specifically Catholic).

If you’ve read it, I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments.

    I follow a Telegram channel called Vault of Secrets – Unpopular History. This was something they wrote today along with many pictures of published feminist propaganda.

    —————

    How much satan hates women

    The Luciferian-communist war against women is long-standing. Biologically, some progress is being made by the communist-started LGBTQ gang to modify women, but not many accept this yet. Outwardly, the reasons for “liberating” (meaning dewomanizing) women are socialist rationality and materialism, but behind it lurks the worship of an androgynous deity. “The revolution” is assumed more important than the woman, of course, as usual the morality of communists is satanically upside down. So what do they want to do with women — let’s review some socialist “permanent revolution” agendas:

    Free Sex:
    According to radical feminist communists, with the symbol of a Marxist fist over an upside down cross, women must be liberal with their sex desire and use it for political objectives — then what? With plenty of sexual experiences, the natural loyalty and attachment to a specific male weakens — then what? Then research shows she will not form normal bonds with men again. Why all this? Because God said that promiscuity is a pit and that a family is where joy must reign, including the joy between the man and woman.

    Free Militants:
    According to Bolsheviks, wherever a revolution starts, the women must be shoved into Red Brigades, like in China and Mozambique, and thus our women must become cannon meat (again, the glory of the great revolution is more important than what is natural) — but then what? Then Post Traumatic Stress disorder will follow. Then what? Then research shows the woman will never functionally be a woman again and will not want a family. Why all this? Because God said that the conscience must be guarded.

    Free Abortion:
    According to socialists, a woman must be able to get an abortion any time “on demand” — then what? Then research shows that the regret, guilt, and depression from killing their children will follow. Why all this? Because God said one must not sacrifice children to Moloch, that life is sacred, and only He gives life.

    Equal Pay:
    According to socialist theory, women and men are all equal and women must receive equal pay. However, in a socialist state where the government employs everyone, women become dependent on their employer and the government rather than their husbands (this is sarcastically called a “woman’s liberation” by socialists) — what then? Research shows that it leads to a breakdown in traditional God-given roles, where men no longer feel responsible for providing for and protecting women; in fact, men become infantile. Then women experience more stress and anxiety and are less likely to enjoy their lives.

    In order to fully commemorate their destruction of the woman, the satanists started “International Women’s Day” in the 1920s during the Bolshevik era in Russia, which the United Nations began celebrating too. And it’s still celebrated by clueless women across the world. One only needs to see the ugly faces of the hidden authors behind the red garbage written over the last 150 years, to see the character of who they are dealing with.
