I never thought I would utter these words, but here I am. Asking myself and all of you, where did all the feminists go? Where are all of the early-day women warriors fighting for women’s rights and gender equality? Where are all the women who dedicated their formative years to being outspoken against female discrimination and blazing the trail for all independent women?
These voices from the original feminist movement seem to be strangely absent from the conversation as we see a steep uptick in the number of trans women moving in and, rather swiftly, erasing women from a variety of areas.
As with many concepts that take actual form and permeate our culture, feminism, on the surface, looks and sounds like nothing more than the championing of women. I myself believe that feminism, at its core, has nothing to do with female empowerment but rather everything to do with infiltrating and disrupting traditional gender roles that we know offer strength and stability within families and societies.
What we are seeing today is a well-designed, scripted, and executed concerted effort to break apart the West and ultimately lead to its self-imploding. Feminism was a major player in this plan. Prior to the women’s liberation movement, we saw a country with the majority of women staying at home, raising the children, tending to the home, and existing in a traditionally female gender role position. The feminist movement moved quickly and aggressively and not only pulled women out of the home and into the workforce but simultaneously created negative ideas and villainized the role of a “stay at home” wife and mom.
A woman’s value quickly became associated with her work outside the home and how fast one could climb the corporate ladder and shatter that glass ceiling. The “independent,” “I can do anything a man can do” woman was born, and she has been procreating this nonsense ever since, only to abandon her innate calling in the process.
Once again, our society was duped by fancy language and emotional fuel that has now been a source of societal erosion for decades. We now have young women who see their value in corporate America instead of at home. We have a culture of “boss babes” and “side hustlers” all trying to be so busy with things to simply prove they can do it all that they have to schedule time with their spouses in between panic attacks and therapy appointments as they manage the compounding stresses of work and family.
These original voices of the women’s empowerment movement are nowhere to be found in the constant barrage of trans ideology we are seeing today.
Men parading around in the most stereotypical form of a woman and replacing women on so many fronts does not seem to outrage nor bother any of the biological women who fought to secure our place amongst men.
In fact, it appears as though they have acquiesced and allowed the patriarchy to swoop in once again and tell women what a woman is and where her place is. This is the strangest thing to watch unfold right now. Men, biological men, are calling themselves women and assuming womanhood, all from putting on a dress and makeup. They are creating character-like personas of what they believe to be how it is to live and act as a woman. They are entering beauty pageants and participating in women’s athletics, and winning. Snatching trophies and medals out of the hands of actual women who have worked tirelessly at their craft. Yet radio silence from women who back women. The silence is actually deafening. It’s another example of the cowardice plaguing our country. An inability to speak out against right versus wrong for fear of retaliation or damage to one’s own ego.
I myself will not stay silent. I may, in fact, become the loudest feminist there ever was. Shouting from the rooftops that being a woman is more than a feeling. It’s more than a costume change and hair extensions. It’s more than lipstick and handbags. We have a God-given spirit and essence that cannot be mocked or mimicked, or replaced. Join me!

I listened to this podcast by Hnat on Thursday and was encouraged that she is seeing the same things I do and is willing to call them out.
Women have shot themselves in the foot. We did this in our relentless effort to erase the lines of gender roles that we decided we’re holding us back.
WOMEN DID THIS.
