"You have now a new rebellious group called ERA, 'equal rights for women.' O My children, what a delusion this is among you! Do you not recognize that you will lose more than you shall ever gain because you defy the direction of the Eternal Father. "Paul the Apostle wrote down the words given to him by My Son, Jesus. Adam was created in the image of God as man, and woman was given unto him as his helper. As such, My children, man must always be the head of the household. There shall not be strength in a home divided." - Our Lady, July 15, 1978
Lie #1. Women earn less than men because of wage
discrimination (the "wage gap")
Feminists claim that women earn only 77 cents for every
dollar that men make. Christina Hoff Sommers calls this the "wage gap myth",
which is calculated by adding the median earnings of all women working full
time, divided by the median earnings of all men working full time.
This calculation is not an apples to apples comparison.
It does not take into consideration
occupation, education, position, or hours worked per week. The wage
difference is due to individual career choices between men and women. Men as a
whole more frequently work overtime; men as a whole will enter more dangerous,
higher paying professions; men as a whole will more likely enter higher paying
professions than women. Furthermore, women outnumber men in four out of five of
the worst paying professions (counseling and psychology, early childhood
education, human services and community organization, and social work). So
again, not an apples to apples comparison. The difference is due to career
choices, not wage discrimination.

wonderful video on the wage gap myth, that has received over 1.5 million
views.
Lie #2. Feminism is about gender equality
The
women
against feminism website hits the nail on the head: "A 'movement' that
advocates for the rights of one gender over another is sexist and inequal by
nature."
As Kellyanne Conway put it in her
CPAC interview, feminism "seems to be very anti-male and it certainly is
very pro-abortion."
Men receive higher jail sentences than women,
for the same crime. If feminism is
about gender equality, why the silence about this monstrous injustice?
From the March 17, 2015 article
entitled,
"The Sentencing Gap: Why are Men More
Likely to Go to Prison?":
Other failures by feminism's supposed quest for gender
equality include silence on these topics:
Modern-day feminism isn't even about women's rights. Why
the silence about the many rights denied women in Muslim countries? Why the
silence against Sharia law, "honor killings," and second-class treatment of
women in other countries?
Karen Straughan, interviewed by Cassie Jaye in
The Red Pill movie, mentioned that
feminism sounds like a religion. Its followers label feminism as the source of
all good, and patriarchy as the source of all evil.
Daphne Patai and Noretta Koertge affirm that today’s
radical feminism is "Not merely about equal rights for women … Feminism aspires
to be much more than this. It bids to be a totalizing scheme resting on a grand
theory, one that is as all-inclusive as Marxism, as assured of its ability to
unmask hidden meanings as Freudian psychology, and as fervent in its
condemnation of apostates as evangelical fundamentalism. Feminist theory
provides a doctrine of original sin: The world’s evil’s originate in male
supremacy." (Daphne Patai and Noretta Koertge,
Professing Feminism: Cautionary Tales
from the Strange World of Women’s Studies, p. 183)
Feminism is not about gender equality; feminism is about
power.
Lie #3. More women are sexually assaulted in the
The UK Daily Mail reported,
According to an article by
Hanna Rosin, "Last year [2013] the
National Crime Victimization Survey turned up a remarkable statistic. In
asking 40,000 households about rape and sexual violence, the survey uncovered
that 38 percent of incidents were against men."
With the inclusion of prison
statistics, the
Lie #4. One
in five women will be raped in college
Christina Hoff Sommers writes:
FACTS:
This incendiary figure is everywhere in the media today. Journalists, senators
and even President Obama cite it routinely. Can it be true that the American
college campus is one of the most dangerous places on earth for women?
The one-in-five
figure is based on the Campus
Sexual Assault Study, commissioned by the National Institute of
Justice and conducted from 2005 to 2007. Two prominent criminologists,
“The estimated
19% sexual assault rate among college women is based on a survey at two large
four-year universities, which might not accurately reflect our nation's colleges
overall. In addition, the survey had a large non-response rate, with the clear
possibility that those who had been victimized were more apt to have completed
the questionnaire, resulting in an inflated prevalence figure.”
Fox and Moran also point out that the study used an overly broad definition of sexual assault. Respondents were counted as sexual assault victims if they had been subject to “attempted forced kissing” or engaged in intimate encounters while intoxicated. ("6 Feminist Myths That Will Not Die," Christina Hoff Sommers, Time magazine, June 17, 2016)
So what is the factual, reported percentage of female college student rape? 6.1 in 1000, or 0.61 percent. ("Rape And Sexual Assault Among College-Age Females, 1995-2013," Bureau of Justice Statistics)
Sam Dittmar writes: "The Bureau of Justice Statistics determined the reported rate of sexual assault on female students to be 0.61 percent . Many sexual assaults go unreported, so the actual rate is likely much higher, but unless it’s 41 times greater than the reported, sexual assault is nowhere near as prevalent as the feminist movement portrays." ("Modern feminism is based on lies," The Daily Nebraskan, October 27, 2016)
Lie #5. Women
are less abusive than men
Erin Pizzey, founder of the first internationally recognized women's shelter, noted that 60% of her women were as violent as the men they left. She stated that "of the first hundred women who came into my refuge, sixty percent were as violent as the men they left. Or, they were violent and the men weren’t." (Dean Esmay, "Refuting 40 years of lies about domestic violence," December 19, 2012)
In a 2001 study reported in Journal of Family Psychology, findings indicated that 9.4% of men and 13.2% of women perpetrated frequent physical aggression toward their partners. Contrary to expectations, 13% of men and 9% of women indicated that they were physically injured at least once. Authors report "2% of the men and none of the women indicate that they had been hurt by their partners between five and nine times." (Capaldi, D. M. & Owen, L. D., Journal of Family Psychology, 15 (3), 425-440)
A 1997 study reported in
Social Development revealed that 31%
of men and 36% of women engaged "in an act of physical aggression against their
current partner." (Capaldi, D. M. & Crosby, L. (1997),
Social Development, 6, 184-206).
More than 200 studies "examining assaults by women on their spouses or male partners" have been listed at the California State University Long Beach website, containing many other similar statistics (Read more).
Lie #6. Women can successfully raise children
alone
Children from fatherless homes are*:
- 15.3 times more likely to have behavioral disorders;
- 4.6 times more likely to commit suicide;
- 6.6 times more likely to become teenaged mothers;
- 24.3 times more likely to run away;
- 6.3 times more likely to be in a state-operated institution;
- 10.8 times more likely to commit rape;
- 6.6 times more likely to drop out of school;
- 15.3 times more likely to end up in prison while a teenage;
- 73% of adolescent murderers come from mother only homes;
- Daughters who live in mother only homes are 92% more likely to divorce.**
* Most statistics from a 1999 report of the Department of Health and Human Services. **See the book Father and Child Reunion for more scientific studies and proof.
Lie #7. women are always better caregivers
toward children
"In 2012, Child Protective Services estimated that 686,000
children were victims of maltreatment in the
Time magazine
reported: " And women are at least as likely as men to kill their children—more
so if one counts killings of newborns—and account for more than half of child
maltreatment perpetrators." (Time
magazine, "The
Surprising Truth About Women and Violence," June 25, 2014)
And then there is
abortion…
Lie #8. You would have to be anti-woman to be
anti-feminist
Using the gender card is a tired, knee-jerk reaction
against those who reject the substantial pack of lies that is feminism.
How is it sexist to disagree with feminism, when many of the greatest
opponents are women? That is why
Lauren Southern,
"Roaming Millenial",
"ABitOfBritt", Erin
Pizzey, Karen Straughan, Christina Hoff Sommers, Kellyanne Conway and Cassie
Jaye (to name just a few) are so effective. The gender card won't work on them.
Lie #9. Women are happier with feminism
Women are less happy now than they were in the 1970s. The
UK Guardian reported:
In 2009, the UK DailyMail reported that despite forty years
of feminism, women are less happy:
Furthermore, the suicide rate in women between 45 and 64 increased 63% in the 15-year period, 1999 to 2014. ("US suicide rates up, especially among women, but down for black males," CNN, April 22, 2016)
Older women are also drinking much more:
"More
older American women than ever are drinking — and drinking hard, a new study
shows. Most troubling was the finding that the prevalence of binge drinking
among older women is increasing dramatically, far faster than it is among older
men, the researchers noted. The difference was striking: Among men, the average
prevalence of binge drinking remained stable from 1997 to 2014, while it
increased an average of nearly 4 percent per year among women, the researchers
found." ("More
older women are drinking hard," Steven Reinberg, March 29, 2017)
Conclusion
Taylor Caldwell noted that " The strongest sign of the
decay of a nation is the feminization of men and the masculinization of women."
("They’re Spoiling Eve's Great Con Game,"
American Opinion, September 1970, p. 8)
Today's women need humility and conversion. Without
acknowledging their own faults, asking for God's forgiveness and humbly asking
for His grace, women will not escape the slavery of their own making.
The battle between men and women has been instigated by
satan himself, for the fall of both. In God's plan, men and women are to support
and protect each other physically and spiritually. When they do not, men and
women are more vulnerable to the attacks of the devil, and in greater danger of
eternal damnation. Men and women are not the enemies; the devil and the willful
rejection of God's laws are the enemies.
The perfect woman, the Blessed Virgin Mary, is the greatest opponent to feminism of any woman on the planet. She stands as a beacon of light and guidance for all those women who are lost in the lies of feminism.
"Women of the world reject
their places as helpmates to their husbands. What manner of creature have they
become? The Day of the Lord approaches fast upon you, for what has been foretold
is coming to pass." - Our
Lady, March 24, 1974
