HenryMakow.com – June 4, 2026

The Illuminati (Communists) used Feminism to attack society at its weakest point – women. 

Adam Weishaupt, the founder of the Illuminati, famously wrote: There is no way of influencing men so powerfully as by means of the women.” 

Feminism is essentially a depopulation program. It convinces women to squander their most fertile years, when they’re irresistible to men, in pursuing career instead of marriage and family.  It convinces young women their total value lies in sex appeal. As a result, they act like strippers and prostitutes. Needless to say, strippers and prostitutes make lousy wives and mothers. 

 Western women have been psychologically neutered. They were taught to seek power instead of love. Heterosexual love is based on women surrendering power to their husband in exchange for his power expressed as love. Power = penis. Men love women because of this sacrifice. 

Women were taught that what they most crave – love, marriage and family are “oppressive!” They are now desperate as men turn their backs on them. YouTube is full of videos of women offering themselves to strangers. They’re disgusting. The female franchise has been destroyed.

The Cabalist Jewish view is that sexual intercourse is a mystical experience akin to union with God when, in fact, it is just a bodily function. Its value lies in the meaning we give it. Exclusive sex is the symbol of the exclusive heterosexual contract: the exchange of power for love. In marriage, women can have power or love. They can’t have both. They must find a man they trust and respect enough to obey. For a woman, this is love.

Idealizing women leads to arrested development in men.

Below–“Burkha Vs Bikini” – Since this article was written in 2002, it has been reposted on numerous Muslim, Christian and Hindu websites.

I revisit this reaffirmation of gender, marriage and family in the hopes of restoring some gender sanity.

“I am not advocating the burka but rather some of the values that it represents, specifically a woman’s consecration to her future husband and family, and the modesty and dignity this entails.”

“Young women in the West are naive to think sex appeal is the only thing that matters to men. Men seek intelligence, character, personality, purity, talent, dignity, modesty and refinement in a permanent mate. Act like a whore and you’ll be treated like one.”

On my wall, I have a picture of a Muslim woman shrouded in a burka.

Beside it is a picture of an American beauty contestant, wearing nothing but a bikini.

One woman is totally hidden from the public; the other is totally exposed. These two extremes say a great deal about the clash of so-called “civilizations.”
