Rachel Wilson, author of Occult Feminism The Secret History of Women's Liberation, joins Joe Rogan to discuss her explosive research into feminism's hidden origins. Wilson, married to Andrew Wilson and mother of five, spent two and a half years investigating feminist literature and historical documents to uncover what she argues is a deliberately obscured history.

The conversation explores Wilson's findings that feminism was not a grassroots women's movement but rather a top-down campaign funded by progressive men, the CIA, and major foundations. Wilson details how early feminist leaders were often involved in occult practices, scam artistry, and radical ideologies, while most women actively opposed suffrage and women's liberation.

Wilson examines the economic consequences of pushing women into the workforce, the role of figures like Margaret Sanger and Gloria Steinem, and how academic gender studies departments rewrote history to sell a sanitized version of feminism. The discussion covers everything from the connection between education and declining birth rates to the occult influences that shaped feminist ideology, drawing from works like Satanic Feminism and The Paradox of Female Happiness.

The Two-Income Trap: How Feminism Destroyed Male Wages

Prior to the 1970s, only 5% of mothers with school-aged children worked outside the home, and a janitor could support a family of four on one income.

Pushing women into the workforce almost doubled the labor supply in 20 years, permanently suppressing men's wages and creating the modern two-income requirement.

The economy shifted from manufacturing and production to consumer-driven services, with women earning 80% of psychology degrees while remaining only 20% of STEM graduates despite decades of promotion.

Women now perform the same domestic tasks they used to do at home - nursing, teaching, cooking, cleaning - but for corporations instead of their families, paying taxes on this formerly 'unpaid labor.'

The Suffrage Lie: Women Never Wanted Liberation

Anti-suffrage groups far outnumbered pro-suffrage groups, with most American and British women joining organizations opposed to voting rights.

In Massachusetts referendum, only 4% of women who voted wanted suffrage - leading Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony to ban women from voting on whether they wanted the vote.

Women feared losing legal protections like inheritance rights, breadwinner laws that protected them from debt, and the moral high ground that gave them political influence without being a voting bloc.

Susan B. Anthony admitted: 'We would have never passed suffrage had it not been for men. If it was ever left up to women alone, we would have never passed suffrage' - Wilson

Margaret Sanger's Fabricated Crisis and Eugenics Agenda

Sanger claimed to receive thousands of letters from desperate mothers having 14 babies by age 23, but only 3 letters exist in the Margaret Sanger Papers Project archives.

Sanger lied about her mother's death, claiming she died from 'overbreeding' when she actually died from tuberculosis like many people of that era.

As part of the Rockefeller Bureau for Social Hygiene, Planned Parenthood was designed as a eugenics program targeting African-Americans, indigenous communities, and poor whites.

'The most kind thing a large family can do to one of its young members is to kill it' - Margaret Sanger, promoting antinatalist ideology that life is suffering

Gloria Steinem's CIA Operation and Cold War Feminism

Steinem was recruited from Smith College through the fake 'Chester Bulls Fellowship' created by the CIA to promote liberal democracy during the Cold War.

She worked undercover as a Playboy Bunny at Hugh Hefner's mansion while promoting sexual liberation as part of her CIA assignment to contrast Western values with communist Eastern Bloc.

The CIA funded Ms. Magazine's creation, viewing feminism as useful for radicalizing young women in universities and mobilizing them as a political voting bloc.

Ford Foundation created gender studies departments in the late 1960s with Rockefeller and Carnegie support, literally rewriting feminist history to hide male funding and support.

The Occult Roots of Feminist Ideology

The Woman's Bible rewrote scripture in 1895, with Elizabeth Cady Stanton declaring: 'I don't believe that any man has ever heard anything from God. I don't believe the Bible is divinely inspired.'

According to Satanic Feminism by Per Faxneld, 19th century feminists 'openly declared Lucifer as their liberator and the mascot of their movement.'

Victoria Woodhull, known as 'Mrs. Satan,' ran prostitution rings on Wall Street, using sex workers as spy networks for insider trading information while claiming to contact dead spirits.

Margaret Fuller wrote about gender abolition and transgenderism in the 1840s, envisioning 'a future with no gender' where 'nobody's really born a man or a woman' but exists on a spectrum.

The Devastating Results: Children Pay the Price

The National Incident Study shows children from married biological parents are 12 times safer from abuse, neglect, and sexual violence than any other living situation over 45 years of data.

70-85% of children in juvenile facilities, with addiction problems, learning disabilities, and mental health issues come from fatherless homes.

The Paradox of Female Happiness study found women report being less fulfilled and content than in the 1970s despite decades of feminist liberation.

26% of American women are on psychiatric drugs while fetal alcohol syndrome rates hit historic highs, contradicting promises that feminism would improve women's wellbeing.
