Gender Identity and the Feminization of America
By Brian4Liberty - April 13, 2022
The battle lines have been drawn. Everyone must take a side. Either you support the teaching of gender identity to kindergarteners and elementary school children, or you oppose it. Ideally, your support or opposition will be vehement and all consuming.
How did we come to this? How did these concepts of transgender, bigender and gender fluidity become the outrage of the day? How did they make their way into the schools and the instruction of children? How did they become household words? Who would benefit from sowing gender confusion among children? Cui bono?
It is a complex issue, with many agendas at work. An elementary school teacher might say that the purpose is to create acceptance of people who are different, or to stop bullying. Inclusion is the goal. These well intentioned results are only one potential outcome of such instruction and discussion with children. What about other outcomes?
Many would say that the primary goal is to normalize transgenderism and the LGBTQ+ lifestyle, or more nefariously, to change children or groom children for abuse by child predators. Concerns about predators are not without precedent, as many organizations that provide an opportunity for adults to have unfettered access to children have been fraught with abuse. Religions, sports, scouting, cults, and schools have all been utilized by child predators to access children. When the actual subject of the teaching is sexual in nature, the potential for abuse by predators is even greater.
The History
Who else would benefit from radically changing our concepts of gender? For that, we could go back into the distant past, and explore a mythology that has many adherents in today's leftist intelligentsia.
In 1861, Johann Jakob Bachofen published his most famous work, Das Mutterrecht (Mother's Right). In this book, Bachofen essentially proposes a hypothesis that humans existed as a matriarchy before becoming civilized and industrialized.
This hypothesis caught the attention of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, and predictably, was transformed into communist mythology. In this supposed matriarchal utopia, everything was shared, no one owned anything, and men had little power. It was the prototype for an ideal communist society.
Thus, this mythology has shaped Marxist thought for a very long time. In more modern times, it is evidenced by Marxist feminism. The cries about the evil "patriarchy" often float about at leftist rallies, intermingled with Marxist slogans. In this worldview, the entire concept of private property and "capital" was invented by a greedy patriarchy of capitalists.
As can be expected, this perspective has also found its way into entertainment. It is evident everywhere today. Back in 1941, we had the groundbreaking debut of Wonder Woman by William Moulton Marston, which could be traced all the way back to the earlier work of Bachofen, with the mythology of the utopian matriarchal Amazonian society. And even more relevant to the subject of modern gender confusion, the originator of Wonder Woman had a famous quote about girls and power.
So here we find ourselves in post-modern America. Girls do not want to be girls, and they are ironically being encouraged to be more masculine, in the belief that this will result in more power. Boys are being encouraged to find themselves on a sliding scale of gender. Will stronger girls and feminized boys lead to matriarchy? Is this a hidden agenda behind the push for "teaching" children about gender identity?

None of this happens in a vacuum, and there are other agendas that dovetail. The woke agenda is also part of the divisive agenda to break down society. And the post-modern teaching of sensitivity and political correctness is another example.
At its most basic, political correctness is a focus on feelings. We must be sensitive at all times to the emotional state of others. There must be trigger warnings to avoid hurting people's feelings. Feelings are the most important consideration, above all else.
Those familiar with the Myers-Briggs categorizations of personality types will recognize that this is a manifestation of the Thinking vs. Feeling concept. Those on the feeling side of the scale place more importance on feelings and the feelings of others when making decisions. As a gross generalization (that does not apply to every individual), such a focus on feelings tends to be a female trait, and that focus is being forced upon all children. It could be considered feminization.
While a Marxist agenda is not at the surface of the gender identity controversy, and is not the primary motivation in the eyes of most of the people engaging in the public battle of words, it is apparent that behind the scenes, those who wish to shape society see a more feminized society as a pre-requisite for a communist society. Thus, sowing gender confusion among children can be seen as a tactic to work towards that goal. It is part of a Marxist plan to implement a matriarchal communist society based upon a hypothetical and mythological belief, even though the majority of people are not aware of this hidden motivation.
Is All Hope Lost?
For the rank and file Marxists, there is no long term hope, for the entire concept of a Marxist society is nothing more than a ruse in itself. It is a charade that will never work in the real world. Once society is sufficiently broken down and remade in a supposed Marxist model, and Marxism has converted the masses, the peons will own nothing, but they will not be happy, to paraphrase globalist mastermind Klaus Schwab of the World Economic Forum.
The goal of Schwab and his crony billionaire oligarchs is an authoritarian world where the likes of George Soros, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg and a wide variety of global oligarchs own everything and have absolute power. And they will achieve this via Marxism and cultural destruction, which they are funding. When complete, the masses will be living in that supposed utopian pre-civilization society. The proletariat will eat bugs and lentils, and be unhappy. Marxism is a trap. It's a vehicle they are using on this long journey into a global brave new world order that would look very familiar to George Orwell.
