The calls for gender equality in the West emerged after prolonged protests and demands—a reaction to the historical oppression and marginalization of women. Unfortunately, these movements were not guided by divine revelation, moral principles, or even rational thought.
American professor Kathryn E. Fort states: International conventions and agreements concerning women, family, and population are now drafted by committees dominated by three groups: radical feminists, anti-natalists, and LGBTQ activists.
They view reproduction negatively, considering it a factor in women’s oppression. Simone de Beauvoir called it “the slavery of reproduction.” They advocate for motherhood freedom, abortion and dismiss childcare and family life as obstacles to women’s careers and freedom, pushing these responsibilities onto society and daycare centers.
False Promises of Freedom
Under the illusion of false “liberation,” Western women were pushed into mixed-gender workplaces—only to face harassment, assault, and rape. They endure lower wages, workplace contempt, and walk streets in fear, often carrying knives or learning self-defense against predatory men.
To compete, women mimic men: wearing masculine attire, smoking, working grueling hours, and rejecting their God-given femininity. They came to resent staying home, childbearing, and spousal care—seeing these as marks of inferiority. While in reality, they’ve been transformed into exhausted, enslaved men.

The Wage Gap
The wage gap between men and women in the West has become a serious problem, with men earning on average 34% higher salaries than women. Women's representation in various fields remains shockingly low:
- Only 6% of parliament members
- Just 6% of managerial positions
- Merely 14% of trade union members
- Only 12% of institutional leaders
- Just 12% of judges
- Only 14% of municipal council members
- A mere 4% of mayors
In America:
- 25% of women still earn less than men for equal positions and qualifications
- Women face twice the discrimination in job opportunities compared to men
- Only one woman has served in the Senate
- The House of Representatives has never had more than eleven female members
- Out of 675 federal judges, only 8 are women
- In 250 years, women have never held more than 14% of Senate seats
Europe’s Shocking Admission
A 2.5-year study by the European Parliament about women conditions in Europe revealed:
- European women face injustice.
- Female unemployment in Europe is 4x higher than male unemployment.
- Women’s wages remain lower than men.
- Many high-status jobs remain male-dominated.
- In Germany, only 17% of journalists are women.
- In France and the UK, just 8% of university professors are female.
- Only 8% of government ministers are women.
The report noted a growing movement in Europe encouraging women to return home to focus on domestic duties and childcare rather than competing with men - seen as a solution to unemployment and the demographic crisis caused by declining birthrates resulting from women prioritizing careers over motherhood.
