Fertility Crisis & Feminism
Since my last weekly update was already rather lengthy and had plenty of ideas the wrestle through, I decided I wanted to separate the ideas of the two most recent books I read to allow them room to be fully articulated. I hope you enjoy the thoughts that follow.
Countdown by Shanna Swan
I have shared previous work on the seemingly inescapable population collapse. As detailed by Steven J. Shaw in his documentary “Birthgap,” he explains how many countries have fallen below replacement. This means that many countries no longer have a population of children being born to replace those who are aging out of the workforce.
In this book, Shanna Swan takes a look at this problem from a personal and close-to-home perspective. Shanna explains how the introduction of thousands of synthetic chemicals into our environment is creating a crisis of fertility. Many of these chemicals have become seemingly inescapable. She details how common household products expose us to “phthalates,” a chemical that can lower the quality of a man’s sperm as well as cause in-utero child development issues. She explains how exposure to these chemicals can permanently damage the child as well as lower the sperm count and quality the male child will develop as an adult. She introduces a study she conducted on what is known as the AGD, which stands for the Anal Genital Distance; her studies found that a shorter AGD was often the result of in-utero phthalate exposure and other endocrine-disrupting chemicals.
“Endocrine disruptors are chemicals that interfere with the body's endocrine system, which regulates hormones. Exposure to these disruptors can lead to a range of health problems, including reproductive issues, thyroid problems, and increased cancer risk. Common endocrine disruptors include bisphenol A (BPA), phthalates, and dioxins. Avoiding these chemicals in personal care products and food packaging can help minimize exposure.”
Reading through this book, I once again found myself thinking about how we as humans consistently insist on playing God, thinking that we can somehow improve on his design. Instead, we find that we are continually disrupting his design, and we are making a mess of what He created.
There are studies that show that many of our water supplies are infected by chemicals from water runoff. While also infecting our crops with these chemicals that we then ingest. Studies have also found birth-control hormones in our water supply, and though the effects that this is having on humans do seem to be minimal, it has been shown to be causing animals to develop both male and female sex characteristics. This has been shown in many species of frogs, which have become hermaphrodites.
“A hermaphrodite is a sexually reproducing organism that produces both male and female gametes.”
These studies also show increasing numbers of animals becoming “gonochoric.” This means that the animals who would traditionally be heterosexual begin to participate in homosexual activities as they attempt to procreate with their same sex.
I found this to be wildly fascinating as well as disturbing. I also find myself wondering to what degree many of these chemicals are affecting us beyond what these studies have shown thus far. A few months ago, I read a book by Dr. Sarah E. Hill called “This Is Your Brain on Birth Control,” and it blew my mind. Partnering what I learned from that book with Countdown, I can’t help but wonder to what degree we have inadvertently damaged our own reproductive function as well as the reproductive function of future generations. There is a growing number of men today who struggle with erectile dysfunction, which is commonly related to frequent exposure to pornography, but in addition to this, our chemical environment seems to be having a similar effect.
Our global population collapse does not seem to be exclusively fertility-related. There is also a social collapse as an ever-growing proportion of young people begin to abandon the institution of marriage and or delay the age of first marriage to post “prime” childbearing age. Many demographers who once predicted an overpopulation of our planet now fear an irreversible population collapse. In Chapter 10 of this book, Shanna shares stories that have come from Japan, where many young men have opted out of relationships with women entirely and have instead opted for advanced sex dolls. Shanna shares stories of an ever-increasing number of young men who can be seen taking their sex dolls for a walk in the park or wheeling them around in a wheelchair.
Additionally, due to the lack of family and familial relationships in Japan, there have been businesses created to provide an opportunity to rent family members. In this scenario, you can rent someone to be your brother, sister, uncle, grandparent, or grandchild to create an artificial sense of family. There are also parts of Japan where parks and villages are filled with mannikins that are placed throughout to give an artificial sense of population and life. Children are increasingly a rare sight, and parks that were once hubs of communal activity are now left lifeless. It’s hard not to see a similar trend developing in America, as today’s young people have a dwindling number of children as they pursue monetary success, leaving the idea of creating a family for later after they become financially stable. So the question I find myself asking is, will we, too, see a similar fallout here in America? I hope that this isn’t the case, but our current American and Western world seems to be tilting to follow Japan’s example.
The End of Woman by Carrie Gress
As I have continued to search to understand Feminism and its origin, I have found that I am generally met with resistance because culturally, if I, as a man, question the value of Feminism, then I must be some form of misogynist who wants to control women. I am vocally opposed to this movement, which has, in my eyes, become one of the most dangerous ideologies to the health of male and female relationships. So I was very excited when Lila Rose had the author of this book, Carrie Gress, on her podcast to discuss the origin of this movement, how it has developed the Western mind, and how it has created the cultural moment we now find ourselves in where Men can become women.
In this book, Carrie goes back to the origin point of feminism, detailing the stories of its founders. Many, if not most, of whom came from terribly broken homes and marriages. These broken women then created a movement that would reshape the world. Many have argued that, at the beginning, feminism had nothing but a righteous goal in mind. This book dispels the illusion of this idea; from the very beginning, feminism was a movement of hatred. I have written that it was and is a movement of hatred against men, and I stand by that statement. I believe that many modern feminists today do hate men, but there is another group whom feminists today hate even more than men, and it is the same group for whom the hatred was held when the movement began, and that group is women and mothers.
This is the argument that Carrie makes in this book. From the beginning, there was a common theme of hatred of women as mothers, and rather than being a hatred of men during its infancy. It was a movement that told women that they should be more like men. This is laid out beautifully by Carrie, and I will not attempt to repeat what she has already done so well in this book. As I read this book, I again found mental puzzle pieces clicking into place, answering the question as to why we see so much divorce and marital dysfunction in our culture today. We see a movement that is telling young women not only to hate men it is also telling them to hate themselves for being women. I am in the process of reading a book by Abigail Shrier called “Irreversible Damage,” in this book, she outlines how the transgender craze is affecting young girls more than anyone else. They are the group that is suffering the most, and this is coming from our entertainment media and culture, which is preying on them and telling them to hate themselves.
Carrie also records how the earliest founders of the feminist movement were heavily involved in the occult. They would often be involved in seances as they would attempt to speak with the dead, as well as being involved in the use of mediums. Carrie writes how, in preparation for what would be called the “Seneca Falls Convention,” Elizabeth Cady Stanton found herself seemingly with writer’s block, unable to come up with the words she wanted. Finally, she sat down at what was called “The spirit table,” a table that had been used in their summoning rituals. There, finally, she was struck by the inspiration to compose what would be known as “The Declaration of Sentiments.”
Since learning of “The Declaration of Sentiments,” I can say that upon first reading it, I can find nothing evil in it. But also knowing under what circumstances this work was inspired, I have to ask if it was inspired by something more than the complaint of a lost woman. Carrie also writes of these early founders being involved in a religious belief known as “Theosophy,” something I had not previously heard about, but as it is described in this book, shows it to be evil. One of its core beliefs is that in the Garden of Eden scene, the serpent is not the bringer of the fall. But he is, instead, the liberator of the oppressed woman who has been made subject by God to the tyranny of man. Elizabeth Cady Stanton was also known for authoring the “Womans Bible,” which was intended to rewrite the oppressive nature of the Biblical order.
Reading this book, I find myself all the more alarmed that Christians today are not vocally opposed to feminism. I find myself alarmed that so many young women today claim to be both Christian and Feminist. Feminism has always been anti-family and continues to be so. Today, we can lay at the feet of feminism, the single greatest slaughter of humanity to have ever been committed. More lives have been lost at the hands of abortion than the combined total victims of Hitler, Mao, and Stalin.
As I have written before, satanism is not the worship of satan; it is the worship of “self.” And at the altar of self-worship, millions upon millions of children have been sacrificed for the sake of career. For the sake of convenience. For the sake of pleasure, these millions of children have been given as a sacrificial offering.
“A nation that does not love its children is a nation that is doomed to fall”
I have shared only the briefest of reviews of these two books. I would very much encourage all to read them for yourselves and determine for yourself your thoughts on our fertility collapse and if feminism is truly a force for equality and good as it is portrayed to be by our mainstream culture. I am determined to learn the truth and origin of these movements and to try and see how we got to the social environment we now find ourselves in today.
As ever, I hope you have enjoyed and will consider sharing and subscribing. If anyone has any books they would share on these subjects, please send them my way.
Thank you
