Catholic Candle note:
In February 2022, Catholic Candle began a multi-part examination of how the feminists follow the same program as Satan and Marx. This article is entitled The Feminist Program is the same as that of Satan and Marx.
Part 1 analyzes Satan’s program and begins to analyze how Marx has the same program. Part 1 can be found here: https://catholiccandle.org/2022/02/24/the-feminist-program-is-the-same-as-that-of-satan-and-marx/.
Part 2 completes the analysis showing how Marx’s program is the same as Satan’s program. Part 2 can be found here: https://catholiccandle.org/2022/03/27/the-feminist-program-is-the-same-as-that-of-satan-and-marx-part-ii/.
As shown in those first two parts of this article, Satan’s and Marx’s eight-point program:
1. Is anti-God (and anti-worship of God);
2. Promotes disobedience and opposition to the authority ordained by God;
3. Seeks to divide people;
4. Promotes discontent, envy, and discord;
5. Promotes hatred;
6. Is result-oriented and self-interested; Satan neither acts according to immutable principles nor encourages his followers to do so;
7. Is full of lies; and
8. Is against Nature and is anti-Natural Law.
Part 3 begins the study of modern feminism and feminist leaders to see how they follow this same satanic and Marxist program. Part 3 shows how feminism and feminist leaders are anti-God and anti-worship of God. This article can be found here: https://catholiccandle.org/2022/04/20/the-feminist-program-is-the-same-as-that-of-satan-and-marx-part-iii/.
Part 4 covers three additional aspects of how the feminist leaders and feminist principles follow Satan’s and Marx’s program:
A. They promote disobedience, revolt, and opposition to the authority ordained by God;
B. They seek to divide people; and
C. They promote discontent, envy, and discord.

Part
5:
(Continuing where we left off last month)
This month, we cover two aspects of the feminist program:
1. Modern feminism promotes the program of Satan and Marx by promoting hatred; and
2. Feminist leaders are result-oriented and unprincipled just like Satan and Marx.
1. Modern feminism and feminist leaders promote hatred.
Since Satan is full of extreme hatred and Marx called himself “the greatest hater of the so-called positive”[1], we know that all of Satan’s and Marx’s works are imbued with their hatred, too. This is one reason why it is immediately plain to persons with greater discernment that feminism is a work of Satan – because it is imbued with a share of Satan’s hatred.
When Catholic journalist, Mrs. Donna Steichen, attended many so-called “women’s empowerment” conferences, the satanic hatred at those feminist gatherings struck her so strongly that she called her book-length report, Ungodly Rage.[2]
Whereas God made women to be the hearts of their homes, by contrast, the feminism on display at these conferences showed how completely Satan has twisted those women so that Mrs. Steichen said those women showed “feminism’s anti-feminine heart”.[3] Satan and feminism turned these women and their movement into vehicles of rage and hatred.
Most feminist leaders do not declare that they hate men. This would tend to be bad “public relations” for the feminist movement. However, some feminist leaders are very candid about their hatred of men. For example, secular feminist leader, Robin Morgan, Editor of Ms. Magazine, counted hating men as a virtue. Here are her words:
I feel that ‘man-hating’ is an honorable and viable political act, that the oppressed have a right to class-hatred against the class that is oppressing them.[4]
Similarly secular feminist leader, Marilyn French said:
You think I hate men. I guess I do …. I think that men are rotten and women are great.[5]
Hatred is wanting evil for another person, especially his ultimate evil. We see that Satan’s hatred causes him to especially want the greatest evil for people, viz., their eternal damnation.
Among feminist leaders who don’t use the word “hate” with regard to men, you see their hatred in the evil they wish for men. For example, secular feminist leader, Andrea Dworkin, showed her hatred for men in these words:
I want to see a man beaten to a bloody pulp with a high-heel shoved in his mouth, like an apple in the mouth of a pig.[6]
Other feminist leaders express their hatred for men more generally, wishing evil for men as a group. Here is how secular feminist leader, Sally Miller Gearhart, expressed her hatred for men, in her essay entitled, The Future – If There Is One – Is Female:
The proportion of men must be reduced to and maintained at approximately 10% of the human race.[7]
Similarly, secular feminist leader, Kate Millett, routinely opened her “women’s empowerment” meetings by declaring that their goal is to destroy men, i.e., to destroy “the American patriarch”.[8]
Here is how feminist leader, Robin Morgan, urged women to commit patricide:
Sexism is not the fault of women – kill your fathers, not your mothers.[9]
The hatred which is inseparable from feminist principles is not reserved for men alone. Feminist leaders also sometimes attack conservative women viciously. For example, one feminist called conservative women “white nationalist racist gender traitors.”[10] Like Satan’s hatred, feminist hatred can target women as well as men.
Feminist leaders also incite women to hate men by promoting the idea that men hate them. For example, secular feminist leader, Germaine Greer, declared:
Women fail to understand how much men hate them. … All men hate some women some of the time and some men hate all women all of the time.[11]
Greer also told women that no man exists who is free from hating women. Here are her words:
The man is not born who will not hate some woman on some occasion. Odds on, it will be the woman with the greatest claim on his love.[12]
Feminist principles also try to root out the maternal love God put into women by trying to convince them that, however their sons might appear good and loving, there is male treachery in all of them which they should fear and hate. Here is how feminist Andrea Dworkin stated it:
Under patriarchy, every woman’s son is her potential betrayer and also the inevitable rapist or exploiter of another woman.[13]
What we are showing in this section, is that feminism and feminist leaders follow their founders, Satan and Marx, in promoting hatred. Of course, just as there are naïve Masons who simply view Freemasonry as an aid to career advancement or as a way to be accepted in a particular social circle, without understanding the deep evil of Freemasonry, likewise, there are naïve feminists that don’t look deep enough to understand the magnitude of the evil that is integral to feminism.
But this does not take away from the fact that feminism is fundamentally the devil’s work. We must fight feminism! One element of this fight is to love God with all our hearts and to honor, love, and treat women as God wants us to do – not with Satan’s false “luv” for them and an unnatural pretense of equality (as opposed to the true, natural complementariness of the sexes).
2. Feminist leaders are result-oriented and unprincipled (just like Satan and Marx are) because they neither act according to immutable principles nor encourage their followers to do so.
Feminist leaders are unprincipled, like Marx and Satan. They are committed to their (evil) goals and so, to accomplish these goals, they say and do whatever they can to achieve them. They are devoid of firm, overarching principles that regulate the choice of which means they can and should use to achieve their goals. Instead, feminist leaders use any means which they think will be effective.
For example, feminists follow Marx in his goal of pushing all women out of their homes and into the workforce. Thus, feminist leaders see the “need” to prevent children from coming into existence because children would be an obstacle to a woman’s career. This is because caring for children would make her unable to be a fully-independent worker – which is a feminist and Marxist goal. Thus, pursuing this goal, feminists tirelessly promote methods to frustrate fecundity and the Natural and Divine Laws in order to prevent children from being such “obstacles”.
Thus, feminists promote contraception as safe and good because it furthers this feminist-Marxist goal (viz., moving all women into the workforce), as well as some of their other evil goals, too. Of course, contraception is always evil, and sometimes kills a baby who has already been conceived. Further, contraception is always harmful to the mother physically, spiritually, and socially – harming her relationship with her husband as well as harming society more generally.
For the same reason, feminists also promote the cold-blooded, deliberate murder of innocent babies in abortion. Thus, they also promote the lie that a mother murdering her baby is “health care” for the mother and that such murder is “safe”, although it is fatal for the baby, is sometimes fatal to the mother and is always harmful – physically, spiritually, and socially – harming her relationship with her husband as well as harming society more generally.
But because such evils promote feminist goals, feminists vociferously insist that an unborn baby is not a human being but only a “clump of cells”. This feminist assertion is so obviously false that no one really believes it – not even the feminists. To take two reasons, among many others:
1. The baby has a different genetic code than the mother so obviously is not part of the mother’s body.
2. Further, the baby has his own head, hands, feet, and the rest of the body. When the feminists lie by saying that this baby is simply the mother’s tissue, this absurdly means that she has two heads, four hands, and four feet.
Although everyone, including the feminists, know the baby is a separate human being, they insist otherwise because they are unprincipled and take whatever position serves their goals.
Although the feminists want to promote the Marxist goal of getting (and keeping) all women in the workforce, nonetheless, these feminist leaders know that the strong maternal instinct which God put into women will cause many of them to have some children. Therefore, the feminists devise strategies to get the women back in the workforce as quickly as possible after the children’s births. For example, the feminists (and Marxists) ensure that women can foist-off the responsibilities of motherhood onto other independent workers whose job it is to feed and babysit those children, i.e., daycare.
Although common sense and the maternal instinct make it clear that daycare is greatly inferior to a loving mother’s care of her own children, the feminists disregard this principle and say and do whatever is expedient to accomplish their goal of removing mothers from their homes. They declare that daycare is better for children (or at least not worse) than a woman fulfilling her God-given role as a nurturing, loving mother.[14]
A further example is that the feminists profess (falsely) that they are seeking the best-interests of (and the advantages of) women. But the feminist leaders are really promoting Marxist principles which are ruthlessly anti-woman. That is why the feminists viciously attack conservative women whenever it is expedient because feminist leaders attack whoever and whatever stands in the way of their (Marxist) agenda.
Another example of unprincipled feminist leaders is their promotion of the idea that if women allege that they were mistreated by men, then everyone should “believe women”. This is such a stupid position that no one really believes it. It is merely unprincipled feminist expediency. When conservative Supreme Court Justice Kavanaugh was accused by a woman (Christine Blasey Ford), President Joe Biden declared to the media that we must “believe women”. But when Biden himself was accused by a different woman (Tara Reade), he told the media she was lying and not to believe her. Biden (who continually promotes Marxism and feminism) never really thought we should always “believe women” over men. Nor, does anyone else really believe that. This “believe women” nonsense is merely leftist politics using any method whatever to achieve Marxist and feminist goals. Biden merely said we should always “believe women” because this was expedient while trying to derail Kavanaugh’s confirmation to the Supreme Court.
Michelle Malkin summed up this truth well, in these sensible words:
Let me repeat the themes of my work in this area for the past two years to counter the “Believe Women” baloney:
The role of the press should be verification, not validation.
Rape is a devastating crime. So is lying about it.
It’s not victim-blaming to get to the bottom of the truth. It’s liar-shaming.
Don’t believe a gender. Believe evidence.[15]
Summary
Satan, Marx and the feminist leaders are devoted to their goals and are unprincipled enough that they are willing to employ any means – however perverse – to achieve those goals. In this, Satan, Marx, and the modern feminists are completely different from Catholics and from anyone living the life of reason and virtue.
A good man knows that he cannot simply use any expedient means to achieve his end. A Catholic and anyone trying to lead a virtuous life knows that both his means and his end must be good, otherwise his action is evil.[16]
So, we see that feminist leaders are unprincipled and follow Marx (and Satan) by taking whatever means they think will accomplish the (evil) goal they seek to achieve.

Here is part of the chant Kate Millett used to open these meetings:
“And
how do we make Cultural Revolution?” she demanded.
“By destroying the American family!” they answered.
“How do we destroy the family?” she came back.
“By destroying the American Patriarch,”
