Letter XXXIV - Devalue Women

My Dear Rottmouth, as we continue our relentless pursuit of leading souls away from the Enemy, our next target must be women, as we have targeted men effectively. To effectively undermine their spiritual strength and the crucial roles they play in the Enemy’s design, we must convince them that their value lies not in their inherent qualities or traditional roles, but in how much they can contribute to the world in the same manner as men. This strategy will serve to erode the family structure, diminish the importance of motherhood, and create a deep sense of dissatisfaction among women.

In previous letters, we have touched upon the impact of birth control, the devaluation of traditional family roles, and the rise of the "Smash the Patriarchy" movement. Each of these efforts plays into our broader strategy of convincing women that the roles of wife and mother are insignificant and that their true worth can only be realized through career success and public achievement.

Our goal is to drive a wedge between women and the Enemy’s design for them. This is something that our father did in the beginning with the first daughter of our Enemy, and we must continue to use this stratagem as it remains highly effective. Promote the idea that their value is tied to how closely they can emulate men in the workplace. Encourage them to believe that their worth is measured by their ability to climb the corporate ladder, earn a substantial income, and achieve professional accolades. The more they focus on these external markers of success, the more likely they are to neglect the intrinsic value and fulfillment that can be found in nurturing their families and building strong relationships.

We must emphasize the importance of career above all else. Convince women that their education, career ambitions, and professional success are the most important aspects of their identity. Encourage them to view the roles of wife and mother as secondary, if not burdensome, distractions from their true potential. This will lead to a sense of conflict and guilt whenever they feel drawn to their families, making them more likely to prioritize their careers over their personal lives.

Downplay the value of being a wife and mother. Promote the narrative that these roles are outdated, limiting, and less important than professional accomplishments. Highlight examples of women who have chosen not to marry or have children and have instead dedicated themselves entirely to their careers. Present these women as the epitome of modern success, while subtly suggesting that those who choose the path of marriage and motherhood are settling for less.

Encourage women to view domestic responsibilities as demeaning or unimportant. The more they reject the idea of creating a loving home and raising children as valuable pursuits, the more they will distance themselves from the Enemy’s design. This shift in priorities will also create tension and dissatisfaction within their families, further weakening the bonds that hold these units together.

Additionally, promote the idea that true empowerment comes from financial independence and personal autonomy. Convince women that they should be self-sufficient and that relying on a partner or focusing on family life is a sign of weakness. This will lead to a culture where relationships are transactional and individualistic, rather than built on mutual support and love.

Furthermore, exploit the modern obsession with equality. Encourage women to believe that equality means sameness—that they must do everything men do, in exactly the same way, to be considered valuable. This will lead them to reject their unique strengths and qualities, such as empathy, nurturing, and emotional intelligence, which are vital to the well-being of families and communities.

The end result of these efforts will be a generation of women who are disconnected from their true selves and design, constantly striving for external validation and success in areas that may not bring them genuine fulfillment. They will be more likely to experience burnout, anxiety, and a deep sense of emptiness as they chase after goals that, while celebrated by society, do not align with the Enemy’s purpose for them.

In summary, our strategy is to shift women’s focus away from their traditional roles and towards careers and public achievement as the ultimate measures of their worth. By doing so, we can erode the foundation of the family, create dissatisfaction and confusion, and ultimately draw them further away from the Enemy.

In our next correspondence, we will delve into the dangers of legalism and religious hypocrisy, and how we can exploit these to further distance your patient from genuine faith and spiritual growth.

Your affectionate uncle,

Wormwood
