The Hidden History of Feminism

Feminism is often misrepresented as a grassroots movement for equal rights, but the reality is that the true history has been obscured. Textbooks and women's studies departments have rewritten history to fit a narrative of women's oppression, deleting any mention of the anti-suffrage movement and the conservative views of women at the time. The actual history reveals that women had rights, owned property, and were respected as mothers and wives. The feminist movement was driven by wealthy elites who wanted more cheap labor and control. They saw women's liberation as a means to achieve these goals. Feminism was also rooted in occult beliefs and esoteric practices, with many early feminists being theosophists, spirit mediums, and adherents of the Eastern mysticism. This occult influence has continued to shape modern feminism, with the rejection of the patriarchal God and the glorification of the wrathful goddess. The feminist narrative of women as cosmic victims legitimizes violence and leads to the destruction of traditional family structures.
