- Is feminism a plea for equality and fair treatment, or was it a plot to dismantle the family from the start? These are questions that Dr. Carrie Gress and I discuss as she shares about her new book, The End of Woman. She shares her theories on the origins feminism and its founders, and how modern feminism is still shaped by its founders’ ideals.
NOTE: We will be having a counterpoint to Dr. Gress' theories on feminism on the podcast soon!

Feminism is arguably just a set of rationalisation for selfish behaviour and the avoidance of accountability.
The inducing of others, by leader/instruction following, into doing that.
Feminism ruined my family.

Did you guys allow your woman to stay home? Or did you want her the workforce? Just curious.
Not considering myself a Christian I have to say that I'm amazed by the quality of questions and answers that this these
Ladies provide. that you don't find in feminist talks.
Loved her book, "The Anti-Mary Exposed"...Lila, you literally bring on so many people who I respect and love as writers, thinkers, theologians, etc. Thank you for the work you do.
I recommend a book called Occult Feminism. It goes back to the true origins, and motivation behind feminism. The movement is vastly more destructive than I thought.
@@odious5317 Oh she has talked about that in her interview with Pints with Aquinas so she knows that part very well. But yes I also have heard good things about Rachel's book.
You’re the best Lila rose. Thank you for all you do.
Love from Miami.
Drop Feminism. Just drop it, leave the dead plant and adopt a new one.
New term: Dignitism. Dignitists are those who believe in the inherent dignity of all humans at every stage as persons. Recognize differences of all people and how we all have complementarity to each other. In Marriage it is a particular complementarity for relationship and building of families and thus society.
This would be easily hijacked by the very people who support feminism now and possibly pride too. "You're not letting us keep our dignity!" It's just a whole new way to villanize the patriarchy and straight white males.
LOVE the Theology of Home book series and their blog. Such great content. so glad you had Dr. Gress on!
Lila, thank you for having Carrie on, and thank you for asking her excellent questions that I have not heard any other women asking, such as whether Catholic women should be involved in a “new feminism” considering what feminism really is.
Or you could just be fucking normal.
You don't have to have any feminism.
Any woman who trys to come up with any feminism, is not a woman in good faith.
Thank you, Lila. Haven't had a chance to listen yet, but just saw your short on about Christians engaging in feminism. God bless you!
I was very nicely suprised how you set up your Patreon to allow as many people as possible to support how they consider it right, to have this extra connection and participate a little bit.
Unlike many other channels that I checked, where it feels to me more like it would cost the family, still miss something in a lower tier etc.
Excellent interview and discussion on an important topic. As a man, I normally couldn't engage on this topic intellectually for any real length of time, but Dr. Gress' depth of knowledge and Lila's brilliant insights & questions held my attention through much of the entire interview. Many thanks to you both. God bless.
Wow, I'm very curious to read her books! Thanks for this episode!
Feminism, like most radical movements, has done much more harm than good, and yet most people are content to praise the good and look away from the real damage.
one can make the same argument about freedom itself.
Thanks for the podcast. Loved it.
The pendulum swung, too far one way and so did the rebellion. Great discussion, thank you for sharing, love your posts.
You're growing by 1000 subs every day, keep this up and let's end feminism
To the feminist point at the 1:00:00 ish mark, she is talking about women never being free unless they are producing something in the market place, but i just had a thought about it. This woman believes 2 things are true: 1) she is not free. Free from what? I dont know. And 2) money is freedom. God warned us not to love money. He wants all the glory. It makes sad to realize how dark her life has to be without God’s presence. It also makes me afraid to not have His presence either because I’d get sucked into a pit of every changing ideologies that lead to all things ugly
Discovering Gods love freed me from many of these twisted ideologies! I so agree with your comment.
Easy to say but unfortunately it's reality. Money means freedom. If you're stuck depending on someone you have no freedom at all
@@user-bl4lf9rg8m it just depends on what you’re focused on.. money gives worldly freedom, yes. But God couldn’t care less about money in the end. Lusting after it is the root of the issue.
The issue isn’t lusting after money, it’s having autonomy, independence and control over your own destiny.
@@RayanaMalikafocused or not we are material beings. It's not about lusting
This dive into the spiritual/occult roots was fascinating to me, I think I need to rewatch, I am considering buying the book if it can be shipped overseas📚😊
Also she put into words what I have been thinking for some time now: mainstream feminsim has associated itself with the deadliest ideology of mankind that pro choice is...this overshadows the good intentions of feminism pretty much to say the least. But then again splinter groups of feminism keep emerging anyway, so there might as well be a place for those who want to call themselves pro life feminists despite this baggage? I am not sure.
Ms. Rose. You ask excellent questions and you are so well spoken, thank you.
Equality or benefits for women - which one did you want?
If Femunist the former will women give up their advantages in homelessness, prisons, taxation, military conscription, life span, protection from murder, protection from assault and all their advantages in so many areas?
Or do femunists only want equality when it benefits women?
An example - reproductive rights. Women have rights - she only becomes a parent if she consents to it. If she does not consent she has other options - adoption, safe haven, abortion, plan b etc. Does the father get to consent to parenthood? If yes, Can he change his mind? No and No- only she gets choices - the state will will persue him for decades to pay for the consequences of her choices. Is this equal?
Everyone should know that first country who legalized abortion and made as normal practice was communist USSR..and now it is a “normal” thing throughout the whole world. So it’s a very new normal, just in 1920 abortion on request was legalized..never should be, but what good you can expect from communists. And right now non communist Russia has stricter abortion laws than US..(12 weeks)
Abortion was legal in most of America until the Comstock laws were passed in the 1870s. So historically abortion was legal both during colonial times and the first 100 years of our country’s existence.
Excellent Carrie! 👏🏻
To be honest, Lila, your track record on the topic of feminism hasn't been so great until now, so this was a very pleasant surprise! No need to waste time with a "counterpoint" to Dr. Gress's "theories". Just continue to do your homework.
😅 who cares what you think?
I LOVE this podcast so much. You are incredible and such a powerhouse of inspiration, Lila! Would you consider doing a Q&A episode or potentially a whole episode on biblical discipline/corporal punishment?
Yes! Was just thinking about doing a Q&A episode next week! Send your questions - lila@gtbmedia.com !
Love from Canada 🇨🇦 Thank you so much for this ❤
3:37 skip the intro
Thank you, Lila, for inviting Dr. Carrie Gress on your show. Many male critics have made the argument that the fundamental flaw of feminism is that feminist thinkers conflated equality with sameness, in that the movement sought for women to achieve parity with men by making them like men. Of course, when male academics make this argument, it often falls on deaf ears and is automatically dismissed, out of hand, as just their chauvinism showing through. So it is nice to hear a highly credentialed woman, like Dr. Gress, make this argument and do so with a great command of the data and history to back up the claim.
Gross
How did it make women "more like men"? Why is it assumed that only men were allowed to have autonomy and cave options in life? At one time, a woman pursuing higher education was considered "unfeminine." Should women not attend college anymore lest they become more "like men"? Should women not be allowed to pursue any interests or passions in life that does not align with marriage and motherhood? What if a woman has an interest in science or business> Should she not study those subjects lest she would "become like a man"? Should women not be allowed to choose their own paths in life?
If you do not think that women should have ever fought for the right to vote, then should she even be allowed to sign a contract? How about opening her own bank account? How about having a driver license? How about owning property in her name? If she is given a second class citizenship status, then who would be responsible for her before marriage? Her father? What if she is middle aged and still unmarried? What about a married woman whose husband dies? Who assumes responsibility for her then? A male relative? What if she just has a son? Does her son assume legal guardianship of his mother?
There is a lot of nuance and things to consider when when half the human population has less rights than the other half.
@@debrawehrly6900Modern feminism not only seeks to make women more masculine but also to make men more feminine. This hurts everyone involved and encourages the destruction of relationships between men and women, family, and society as a whole.
Great interview Lila, you should interview the author of Libido Dominandi: Sexual Liberation as Political Control next if possible
Thank you, Neighbor 👍
Feminine Genius (JP2), true femininity are some good starts for new language
Good show! ❤️❤️☮️
It just seems that we are all in some royal mess.
What about Sadie Hawkins??? Was she able to be out there with Cady Stanton????? I'm amazed at history of it all
Hallo sister Lila Rose , I love your work , would really love to do the same work you do in Africa, how can I be equipped with this knowledge? Do you offer classes ? Would love to open people's eyes against abortion and feminism , I would be honored to serve the almighty God in this aspect, thank you.
I love Lila’s ministry and have even donated to it, but why do I feel that every time she’s talking about fundamental core issues it seems like her main concern is to protect women and try to give them the benefit of the doubt, instead of seeking for truth.
You probably need to examine how you listen to women. They communicate differently than men do, so when you listen to and speak to women you can only hear what they mean by changing your filters and they won’t hear you properly unless you change your own filters and they also are open to hearing you properly.
Teal swan video periods answers the question...what is a woman?
45:44 well, how do you think women and feminists and female voters are doing to the world?
(I have never really contemplated the question before you brought it up)
Listen to Alice Von Hildebrand on feminism/feminity. She is so fabulous
Lila, thank you for these high-quality and thought-provoking conversations. Have you considered interviewing Claire Swinarski of "The Catholic Feminist"? I think she would have a lot to offer on this topic (she does have a very specific definition of feminism). Would love to see a conversation between the two of you!
Any woman who calls herself a feminist, is not a good woman.
They are an emotionally charged woman who is trying to retain feminist beliefs, while pretending to be traditional.
Any woman who refers to herself as a feminist is a woman not worth dating.
Feminism is female supremacy, not "sameness". Women need to drop feminism, other wise the juice aint worth the squeeze.
There is nothing to salvage from feminism, let the label be accursed
Gress' response to Lila's question about whether there could have been a 'good' feminism to provide us with our rights that accord with natural law is weak and doesn't actually say anything of substance. Go watch Erika Bachiochi's episode for a much better, nuanced assessment of what was good and what was bad about the history of feminism
Communist aspect and the fight against it in the us always fascinated me. As a Russian, who's parents are the product of Soviet Union communist agenda, I still don't buy into how it's worse than capitalism..Women in Russia today and in Soviet Union back when my parents were young (1950+) have the same rights as men, can and do work the fields they want, but they are treated like women, not like men. Women have paid and unpaid (but keeping your job position for 3 years) maternity leave, sick days whenever your child or you are sick, daycare is what Erica Commissar would say is ideal, where the majority of kids are 3+ y.o. because the majority of women choose to stay at home with them until then and are even paid to do so from taxes (13% for everyone). It's very common to work half days or bring kids to work, if it's a possibility with what you're doing. A lot of women though take a required 3 year break and fund hobbies, enjoy motherhood or start businesses while on maternity leave. And there's not much isolation neither, because there will always be other stay at home mothers with little kids.
As a teacher, I can say it's pretty common to have other teachers kids around at a workplace, they don't disturb anyone and are well behaved because they know what's expected of them and that their mom is right there. People treat kids better in general as a result. Not like annoying rats people think of them if you even think about bringing them to work. Yes, gender roles are an issue, like everywhere else men are becoming less manly, but I really don't see how it's so bad to live in such environment. Here in the US, I have a lot of girlfriends who can only dream of staying home with their little ones, they can't afford it and have to go to work full time, nobody cares about their kids being sick and nobody would ever pay for them to stay at home until the baby is at least a year old.. What am I missing or why do American women buy into this?
US did feminism terribly. My motherland can be classified as feminists. We already had two female presidents.
We don't think about equality. Men and women are equal but we really let men court women. Women are highly respected. Sadly, US feminism is beginning to get into my motherland and is beginning to cause problems such as broken family.
I suggest the new term "Womanism" for those females who:
1. Can define what a woman is
2. Embrace motherhood, marriage and family
3. Reject occultism and "free" love
4. Accept men as neccesary, of equal value and worthy of respect
🙂
Abstract nouns can be slippery. Christianity is defined by some in curious ways that contradict Christian principles. Typically, people offering such definitions of the Christian faith seek to endow a peculiar and partisan socio-cultural view with divine authority. The same can be said of feminism. A movement that affirms the dignity and equal status of women can also be hijacked to support peculiar and partisan socio-cultural views. It is curious, however, to see proponents of "feminism" spin the dignity of women as somehow requiring the denigration of men and the abortion of babies. The degree to which our reason has been contaminated is reflected in the claim that men and women are essentially the same. They are not, and the notion of sexual equality does not require the belief that they are. But our reason has been so degraded that seemingly educated people will claim that a man can become a woman and a woman can become a man. Surgical interventions and drugs cannot make this kind of magical thinking reasonable, but such unreason is affirmed routinely by professors at noted universities. Our culture is in great jeopardy.
do you have anything which support me directly instead of those nonsensical causes?
Men started resenting the stay at home mom...housekeeper...freedom...while they were are stuck out in workforce....
Mother countries verses forefathers dualistic competition creators...classes cast systems....

Why are you both wearing these frilly blouses ?? sorry but I’ve just noticed that I was actually really enjoying this analysis by the way and I will now continue
FEMINISM JUST DESTROYING WOMEN :)
Feminism started in Genesis 3:16, "To the woman he said,
“I will surely multiply your pain in childbearing;
in pain you shall bring forth children.
Your desire shall be contrary to your husband,
but he shall rule over you.”
It's just expanded to all women, and since feminism is a victim mentality, there's alot of power in being a victim.
She finds it farfetched, because, like most women, xhe enjoys the benefits of feminism, while also safely speaking out against it, as she knows it's not really going anywhere; she's only anti when it comes to things that negatively affect her. I also find if interesting how they immediately jump to defense and dismiss biblical statements when it comes to limiting women, just like the feminists do.
I wonder, looking at todays world, now that women have been given all this freedom and power, how have things turned out?
Yes. While it is wonderful when anyone speaks the truth, it makes it far less convincing when women take positions of power in the public sphere and speak put against feminism.
I and a few others have made similar comments about the pro-life movement. Too many women get involved with lots of connections in the movement and end up unmarried and marry later and have fewer children. The most credible witnesses to life and opponents of abortion are the women who get married young and have many children.
Depends how you use your single years. Lila spent all of her twenties fighting for life. Read her book called, “Fighting for Life.”She did not deliberately delay marriage or children. She met her husband in her very late twenties and expecting child number 3 in just 5 years.
Agreed.
Exactly. The first choice a woman makes as a mother is who to marry and have as the father of her children. Setting a strict deadline for when you must be married encourages women to make foolish choices and settle for men who may not have the qualities to be a good husband and father. When you don’t choose a man with those qualities your future children pay the price. Better to wait until you meet the right man.

Women enter workforce pudh down mens wages
"no Adam and Eve fell together"
6000 years of avoiding accountability and counting.😂

Yupp, there’s blame-shifting on both sides when we should recognize that both Adam and Eve fell, just in different ways, and men and women are still different today.
Dark podcast whatever but feminison has points of goodness tho right bias
It is actually from hell ... the truth of the bible in genesis is easier to understand than it is to accept
Dont worry if women dont want have kids men will find a way without them im sure japans working on it
Unless women change the laws quit taking mens kids provide boys with seperate schools with male teacher u can talk on here all u want
You can be a career woman, vote and still glorify God. Proud to be a christian feminist.
People arguing for argument's sake. I bet if we were living under pure patriarchy, you'd be complaining about that too.
After hearing this podcast I absolutely absolutely appreciate God allowing permanent divorce/no reconciliation in order to protect His daughter and her Godly family from harm @Lila Rose @Live Action Films
Yeah but unfortunately our culture has a very very loose definition of harm when it comes to women. Boredom is used as an appropriate excuse for divorce now. I don’t think that’s good for society and it disproportionately hurts men
@@awsambdaman If you let women define terms, they'll always define them in the most self-serving ways.
Huh? Oh dear
What the f**k did you just say?
I absolutely cheer the guy who freed himself from you.
Anti Mary exposed is another great book by Mrs. Gress.
Quick comment: Catholics are the only Christians. Protestants are not Christian. The terms are loosely used today so for the sake of truth I want to clarify. It was coined in the early Church (2nd century AD) by St Ignatius of Antioch describing the members of the Holy Catholic Church. It is now a term usurped by Protestants (I.e. signs on their Churches, etc.). Simply put, a Christian is not a subjective idea but rather an objective truth. It’s a believer that Christ is Lord and one who humbly and faithfully submits to all His teachings/laws including the establishment of His Church here on Earth. The Holy Catholic Church. If you’re not a member, you’re not a Christian.
Christianity can’t be reduced to just a vague, and weird personal understanding of Christ. Satan, Muslims, Buddhists and so and so on believe in Christ but they’re not Christians. Point is the truth is always objective, otherwise it’s not the truth.
Ephesians 2:1-8.
There is a difference between liberal feminism and other types of feminism . If it weren't for feminism you couldn't vote Lila or have this podcast or your own bank account . You could not share your opinion in any way .
You're lying. 🤥

She wrong about the first wave.
