Gress argues that first-wave feminism was demonic from its inception, pointing to occult involvement by figures like Matilda Gage, who broke from Susan B. Anthony to pursue witchcraft and whose son-in-law L. Frank Baum embedded occult themes in The Wizard of Oz, and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, who conceived the Seneca Falls Convention at a spirit table now housed in the Smithsonian. She contends feminism deliberately targets women, the family, and the Catholic faith by attacking the patriarchy with Christ at its head, and that extracting Christianity inevitably leads to paganism and the occult, which she sees thriving in today’s culture. Gress also critiques the feminist response to the Lindsay Clancy case, where hundreds of women rallied for a mother who killed her three children, as an example of unresolved abortion guilt and a refusal to engage with reality, noting that no such sympathy would exist if she had killed dogs or if a man had committed the same crime.
Top 5 Key Topics
Occult roots of first-wave feminism: Gress describes how Matilda Gage, deeply involved in witchcraft, broke from Susan B. Anthony and taught the occult to her son-in-law L. Frank Baum, who wrote The Wizard of Oz with themes of good and bad witchcraft and the wizard as an emblem of the patriarchy. Elizabeth Cady Stanton conceived the Seneca Falls Convention at a spirit table, which is now in the Smithsonian.
Feminism’s attack on Christianity: Gress argues feminism targets women, the family, and the Catholic faith by seeking to tear down the patriarchy with Christ at its head and the Abrahamic foundations of faith. She states that extracting Christianity or robust Judeo-Christian tradition inevitably leads to paganism and the occult, which she sees alive in today’s culture.
Lindsay Clancy case and feminist hypocrisy: Gress criticizes hundreds of women who rallied from across the country to support Lindsay Clancy, who killed her three children, noting Matt Walsh’s observation that none would have appeared if she had murdered three dogs. She sees the emotional response as rooted in unresolved abortion guilt and leftist advocacy language, pointing out that men never rally around fathers who kill their children.
Feminist refusal to face reality: Gress contends feminists oscillate between claiming power and claiming victimhood, avoiding reality by collapsing into victim mentality when faced with outcomes like the Clancy case. She argues that asking whether a woman should kill her kids would be met with accusations of lacking empathy and sympathy rather than honest engagement.
Colored hair as a cultural signal: Gress suggests that dyeing hair unnatural colors has become a loaded signal of trying to figure out identity by changing everything about oneself. She calls it a red flag for young men considering a relationship, noting the prevalence of pink at feminist rallies and questioning why that color is always chosen.
