About These Women
To understand the women’s rights movement, one simply has to go back to its root; and in truth, its deepest root goes all the way back to the Garden of Eden when Eve sought to “be like God” (Genesis 3:5).
In that pursuit, the most available way for Eve and women since then to exercise this is to be like the man, who was made in the image of God (Genesis 1:26-27, 1 Corinthians 11:7) and occupies a place in His three-part governmental headship order (1 Corinthians 11:3). Therefore, Yahweh declared regarding this iniquity of the woman: “your desire will be for [the place of] your husband” (Genesis 3:16). While Eve’s actions in the Garden of Eden were the beginning root of Women’s Rights, today in America, and throughout much of the world, we are now experiencing Women’s Rights II, The Garden Revisited!
In order for women to take the place of the man, they had to gain equal rights, or equality in the home; or as evidenced in our courts, even to gain rights superior to the man. In order for women to take the place of the man, they had to gain equal rights in government, equal rights to vote and to govern. In order for women to take the place of the man, they had to gain equal rights to property, equal rights to education, equal rights to employment, and equal rights to speak and to be heard. In order for women to take the place of the man, they had to erase the line of distinction between men and women, and even take on the man’s appearance—to dress like him, wear his pants, cut their hair short like his, and even have the man to submit to their image by him shaving his face to look like them, to take on their appearance.
In order for women to take the place of the man, they had to create societal and governmental homosexuality, or “homo”—“one and the same”—sex: no distinction between men and women. They accomplished this, and thereby we now have open homosexuality in the natural realm where men lay with men, and women lay with women. And for some strange and twisted and perverted reason, reminiscent of the Holocaust, in order for women to take the place of the man, they had to kill millions of our babies while still in the womb, or even at the time of birth. Welcome to Women’s Rights II, The Garden Revisited!
Our society has plummeted to depths of moral, governmental, and societal depravity unimaginable before 1920; and no one looks at this and knows why. But there is one encompassing cause—the Curse of 1920!
Women’s rights; jazz, rock, and rap; as well as abortion and euthanasia, are a deadly and destructive three-pronged Curse that came upon our nation and the world in 1920. The root and outcome of this Curse is fully addressed in the book, The Curse of 1920.
The three women you see on the header are at the very root of this Curse that came upon America. The two women seated in front are Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton. The woman who materializes behind these two is Abigail Adams, the wife of President John Adams.
You might ask why Abigail Adams is shown here behind these two matriarchs of the women’s rights movement. Let’s take a look at why she is added, before we talk about Anthony and Stanton.
To understand the spirit behind the women’s rights movement in America, one simply needs to go back to its founding, to the seed testimony of when this nation’s government was being formed.
John Adams, one of the five members of the committee that drafted the Declaration of Independence, specifically rejected the notion of equal rights for women. Just weeks before the committee presented the Declaration of Independence, John Adams’s “Eve”—Abigail—sent letters to her husband, already harboring the spirit of the women’s rights movement. We will see his reply.
It is fitting and quite prophetic for Adams’s wife to write these things. As you will see, she is a clear testimony of Adam’s wife, Eve, affording us a déjà vu of the Garden of Eden, and a glimpse forward to what would take place in this garden nation of America—the woman would offer the forbidden fruit to the man. But this Adam(s) did not eat it; and we should have done likewise.
Women like to refer to Adams’s Eve as the forerunner of the women’s rights movement. And so she was. And when you read her disdain for men, for husbands, and her intent to foment “rebellion,” you can plainly see the true spirit of this movement. In her letter of March 31, 1776, to her husband, she too extended her forbidden fruit:
I long to hear that you have declared an independency. And, by the way, in the new code of laws which I suppose it will be necessary for you to make, I desire you would remember the ladies and be more generous and favorable to them than your ancestors.
Do not put such unlimited power into the hands of the husbands.
Remember, all men would be tyrants if they could. If particular care and attention is not paid to the ladies, we are determined to foment a rebellion, and will not hold ourselves bound by any laws in which we have no voice or representation.
That your sex are naturally tyrannical is a truth so thoroughly established as to admit of no dispute; but such of you as wish to be happy willingly give up—the harsh tide of master for the more tender and endearing one of friend.
Why, then, not put it out of the power of the vicious and the lawless to use us with cruelty and indignity with impunity?
Men of sense in all ages abhor those customs which treat us only as the (servants) of your sex; regard us then as being placed by Providence under your protection, and in imitation of the Supreme Being make use of that power only for our happiness.
The meat of her sentiments is cleverly placed between the refined pastry of her opening and closing paragraphs. And gratefully, men and women of sense in her day would not listen to such rebellious ideas. It would be another generation or two before her ideas would slowly begin to find place in the hearts of more determined rebellious women.
In her follow-up letter of May 17, 1776, in which she replied to John’s pandering of her rebellious ideas, she stood her ground and wrote in words that are equally eerily prophetic:
I cannot say that I think you are very generous to the ladies; for, whilst you are proclaiming peace and goodwill to men, emancipating all nations, you insist upon retaining an absolute power over wives.
But you must remember that arbitrary power is like most other things which are very hard, very liable to be broken; and, notwithstanding all your wise laws and maxims, we have it in our power, not only to free ourselves, but to subdue our masters, and without violence, throw both your natural and legal authority at our feet.
This is the voice of a true feminist, who actually replaced John Adams’s Cabinet. And these are the words you will find oft quoted on feminist websites and in their literature, which they applaud and take up as a rebel cause. This is the voice of our nation’s “Eve.”
Abigail Adams may have failed to overcome the wisdom of our forefathers to rightly keep governing in the hands of men. And the rebellion of the southern states may have failed in the Civil War. But after that war, rebellion surely found a home in women, and the quest of Adams’s Eve was fulfilled. What our forefathers rejected in the beginning, men leading up to 1920 woefully accepted.
On July 19-20, 1848, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and four other women organizers held the first Women’s Rights Convention at the Seneca Falls Wesleyan Methodist Church. Here, the Declaration of Sentiments, written by Stanton, was signed by 62 women and 32 men, many of whom recanted afterwards. Three years later, Susan B. Anthony was introduced to Stanton by Amelia Bloomer, whose name would be given to the radical and later rejected women’s dress called Bloomers.
Together, Stanton and Anthony traveled extensively, spreading the ill message of women’s rights and women’s equality, which would bring wholly expected destruction equal to that from the original Garden. The fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil was being offered to men, and in time would bring tragic results that no one then could have ever anticipated. If women then could have seen today with its abortion, immorality, immodesty, divorce, and other tragic social ills, they would have fearfully and shamefully shrunk back from their rebellious efforts.
Susan B. Anthony wrote in her publication, The Revolution (4[1]:4 July 8, 1869), regarding abortion: “Guilty? Yes. No matter what the motive, love of ease, or a desire to save from suffering the unborn innocent, the woman is awfully guilty who commits the deed. It will burden her conscience in life, it will burden her soul in death!” Anthony referred to abortion as “child murder.”
She continued: “We want prevention, not merely punishment. We must reach the root of the evil.” The fact is, the “root of the evil” of the majority of the ills in our society today, is the very movement she and Stanton began! Guilty! Women’s rights is guilty in every regard! These ills include not only abortion, but an entire host of other ills: skyrocketing divorce rates, fractured families, plummeting marriage rates, ever-rising out-of-wedlock birth rates, homosexuality, excessive burgeoning government, suicide, destruction of the black family and increased homicide, and even now a threat to the safety of our nation through the totally feminized Democrats. In fact, if we graded women’s rights based on their initial claims and their results today, here would be their report card.

Let us now see John Adams’s reply to his “Eve.” While I do not agree with Adams’s placating response, his reply to Abigail showed the true resolve our founding fathers rightfully had regarding the necessity of the man governing the affairs of the home and the nation—not the woman. In fact, in the words of the one who wrote the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson stated that women must be kept out of government in order to “prevent depravation of morals and ambiguity of issue.”
In the opening of Adams’s concluding sentence, he continued that placating unfortunately characteristic of some men, but his true and essential sentiments came out in the end.
We have only the name of masters, and rather than give up this, which would completely subject us to the despotism of the petticoat, I hope General Washington and all our brave heroes would fight.
For the sake of the woman, for the sake of the family, for the sake of this nation, for the sake of mankind, for the sake of Yahweh God’s foreordained order that reverses rebellion, men today must take up this fight and retake their God-given place and rule over the woman. As this passage in Genesis 3:16 concludes, it is the man’s God-given responsibility: “your desire will be for [the place of] your husband, and he will rule over you.” Our forefathers did not bend on this matter, nor did they have in mind to give up their God-given role when they wrote the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution. Jefferson equally stated: “The appointment of a woman to office is an innovation for which the public is not prepared, nor I.” But men since Jefferson and Adams relinquished their responsibility; and men today must regain it!
The hope for mankind is that men will grow wise to this error and rule over this destructiveness of women desiring the place of the man, and women will return to their proper place. Yahshua is “the head of every man, and the man is the head of woman” (1 Corinthians 11:3). The man needs to recognize that the woman is once again destroying the “good” that Yahweh created, and for many good and essential reasons he is to rule over her.
Not only are we foretold of the iniquity of the woman—“your desire will be for [the place of] your husband”—but also, in the beginning Yahweh rebuked the man: “Because you have listened to the voice of your woman . . .” (Genesis 3:16-17). This is what brought this Curse in 1920—men listened to the voice of women—and they equally should not have done so!
Women said that if they were allowed to vote and get into politics, they would solve the social, governmental, and moral issues that man faced. So where is their promised solution today? Where is their promised remedy? History has proven that they were woefully and destructively wrong! Instead, as with their failed Prohibition, equally beginning in 1920, women brought even more moral decay and vice, and have received failing grades in every one of their empty claims! As one man stated—women’s suffrage was gained in 1920, and we have been suffering ever since!
Fjordman wrote in a Brussels Journal article titled, “How the Feminists’ ‘War against Boys’ Paved the Way for Islam”: “I heard one woman who was an ardent feminist in the 1970s later lament how many families they broke up and destroyed. She was surprised at the reactions, or lack of reactions, from men. ‘We were horrible. Why didn’t you stop us?’ ”
Why didn’t we stop them in the 1970s? Why didn’t we stop them in 1920? Why didn’t we stop them at Seneca Falls in 1848? Because we lacked knowledge and understanding and resolve.
But today, we do not have that excuse, and we must stop them! This renaissance of critical truth and insight presented in The Curse of 1920 sorely beckons us to do so. We are men, and we must fulfill our divine place and responsibility! “Yet your desire will be for [the place of] your husband, and he will rule over you.” Men, we need to justly rule! This is our God-given responsibility, and ours alone! It does not belong to women, to Eves. May we join Adams and “General Washington and all our brave heroes [and] fight!”
