Carrie Gress is a philosopher and think-tank fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Centre and a scholar at the Institute for Human Ecology at the Catholic University of America. She is the editor of Theology of Home, an online women’s magazine.
Her central argument is that feminism is about ending women and her related book, The End Of Woman, is a clever play on words.
Feminism’s loudest voices demand power while shirking responsibility, a child’s tantrum in adult guise.
— Phyllis Schlafly, founder of Eagle Forum
An excellent overlapping podcast episode related to this is my one with Rachel Wilson, who breaks apart feminism and women's liberation, explaining how they are not about liberating women but enslaving and eventually removing them.
Women’s liberation didn’t liberate women
Women are more enslaved than they were a century ago.

Moreover, the Suffragettes weren’t mostly women—they were mostly men.
My fundamental critique of feminism is that it started with the wrong question, asking: “How to make women more like men?” As a result, this centuries-old misstep has deeply harmed our culture, marriage, the family, and the unborn. It has not increased women’s happiness and often undermined the dignity of women.
