Second Wave Feminism OCTOBER 7, 2026 Pastor Steven L. Anderson

Man the title my sermon this evening is second wave feminism

I preached a couple weeks ago on the first wave of feminism and the reason that I'm preaching on this is because

unfortunately over time

Satan will just kind of move the goalpost and so you have Christians that think that they're conservative

They think they're fundamentalists. They think that they're old-fashioned. They think they're just based on the Bible

And they have just accepted these very modern

unbiblical

Feminist ideas just because they're so prevalent and so popular in our society that they're just taken for granted

Whereas the Bible doesn't change and so it doesn't matter what year it is

It doesn't matter how many centuries go by the Bible keeps on saying the same thing and as society drifts further and further from the

Biblical standard you end up having people think that you're crazy

When you get up and just preach what the Bible says preach what everybody used to believe

Okay, now we talked about the first wave of feminism and it went from

1848 to

1920 and I'm not going to repreach that sermon but it had to do with women getting the right to vote and

sort of retaining their

Autonomy and independence after they got married because you know before that legally the husband's the boss

Well, I got news for you

That's what the Bible says the Bible says the husband is the head of the wife

Even as Christ is the head of the church and as the savior of the body

Therefore as the church is subject to Christ

You know so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything and so because our society is based on

Christian morality

Legally, that's the way it was is that the husband is considered the boss the head of the household

so the first wave of feminism had to do with basically getting rid of that and

Getting it to where women can vote and women have their own autonomy and their own independence after they're married

They have the right to divorce their husbands and you know get high-level jobs

And those are the things that they were pushing for and this culminated in 1920 with the passing of what is it?

The 19th amendment where they received the right to vote and as I said before

You know your independent fundamentalist Baptist and evangelical Christians pretty much accept like

80-90% of the first wave of feminism as evidenced by the fact that in their church business meetings

They have women voting and often making key decisions about running the church

Which makes absolutely no sense based on what the Bible says. I don't want to repreach that sermon

But tonight we're gonna get into the second wave of feminism

Which again, I would say 80 to 90 percent of it is embraced totally by your old-fashioned independent fundamental Baptist

Not here because we don't care because we're gonna go by what the Bible says and nuts to them and send me all the

voicemails you want haters because I give voicemails every single day in fact for the last few weeks

I've gotten a voicemail every single day of someone saying I'm calling the police because of what I heard you preach

And I'm thinking to myself. That's not how America works

You can't just hear a sermon and you're preaching that you don't like and call the police

And I'm sure they are calling the police, but apparently the police have put this on the back burner

Okay, because of the fact that we have the first amendment. I can say whatever I want

I can preach the Bible and I'm not even saying anything that all of America wouldn't have agreed with

100 years ago anyway

So the second wave of feminism is typically classified from like

1960 to the early

1980s, so that's the period of the second wave feminism and it dealt with

different struggles than the first wave of feminism and

The first thing that was a huge part of second wave feminism was the idea of birth control

Okay, now again, this is something that people just take for granted in

2026 America like well, of course, you're gonna be on birth control

Of course churches and Christians and we're all gonna promote birth control, right?

I mean come on and yet that is not the way it was in America

A lot of people don't realize that birth control was literally illegal

all of the devices and implements even

Information about it was illegal to send in the mail because it was put in the same category as like mailing pornography

Because it was considered obscene material. Okay, but anyway, let's see what the Bible says about this

What does the Bible teach about this subject of birth control? Well, you're there in Genesis chapter?

38 if you would flip back to Genesis chapter number three and look don't get offended at the sermon tonight because you should go into this with

An open mind for what the Bible says

Right and ask God to show you from the scriptures what the truth is because the Bible says if any of you lacks wisdom

Let him ask of God they give it to all men

Liberally and it's not and it shall be given him God wants us to understand the truth

He wants us to understand the Bible

Open now mine eyes that I may behold

Wondrous things out of thy law is the prayer of the psalmist so look at Genesis chapter 3

Genesis 3 · chapter mention

Of course, there's a famous verse in Genesis 128 where God blessed them and said be fruitful and multiply and

Replenish the earth now. Why does it say replenish the earth?

They're the first man and woman

So how are they replenishing because when we think of replenish we're thinking of like a refill, right?

So the idea here though is that the reason why it says replenish is because this is a continual process

So he's saying be fruitful multiply and replenish the earth because human beings are going to live and they're going to die

And they have to be replaced and so there's a replenishment that is constantly going on

Where one generation passes away and another generation come at this the Bible says

So he says to them in Genesis one be fruitful multiply look at Genesis 3 16

This is after the scene in the Garden of Eden

Where the woman has eaten the forbidden fruit and then she gave it to her husband and then he ate the forbidden fruit and they've sinned and

Ruined everything and so God is explaining the the consequences of the sin and it says in verse 16 under the woman

He said I will greatly

multiply thy sorrow and

Thy conception now look here's the truth is that life is not a bed of roses

Life is not easy for either the man or the woman because he talks to the man

And he says man you're gonna work by the sweat of your face all the days of your life

And you're gonna go back into the ground that you came from and so the man in this world has to work hard

You know I guarantee you that there are times that you men don't want to go to work

You don't necessarily love your job every single day sometimes it's a drag

But you go out there and you push through you grind it out

You work hard so that you can put food on the table for your family

And you work by the sweat of your face all the days of your life as the Bible says well

He says to the woman I will multiply your sorrow and your conception now

What does conception mean conception is when a woman becomes?

Pregnant so he's saying you are going to become pregnant

More often than you would have become pregnant without this being in place

He says I'm going to multiply right if you multiply the number two. Oh now we have four. Hey, let's multiply two now

We have 12. Okay. He's saying your conception is at a certain rate

biologically I'm going to multiply

your sorrow and your conception in

Sorrow thou shalt bring forth children and thy desire shall be to thy husband and he shall rule over thee

Look, this is the Bible. This is Genesis chapter 3. This is basic stuff

Genesis 3 · chapter mention

This is like Bible 101 one of the most rudimentary chapters of the Bible laying down some basic foundations

And the Bible saying look this is life

Men have to work hard to put food on the table, and you know what women have to do women have to bear children

And it's not always fun. It's painful giving birth is painful raising children

It's hard work

You're up in the middle of the night and you're dealing with all kinds of the things that go along with child-rearing now

Our society just looks at this and just says well child-rearing is hard, so I'm just not going to do it

You know, I'm just gonna just use birth control and just skip this

But apparently this is something that God has prescribed for men and women and really the same attitude would be like

Well, I don't want to work. I'm a man, but I just don't want to get a job. I don't want to do any productive work

Why do we have to work anyway? Can't the government just give me a basic income to just stay home and sit on my

But you know, it's kind of the same mentality of a woman just saying well, I'm just not gonna reproduce

I'm just not gonna have children. But this is what God has prescribed for mankind. He says man, you're gonna work

Woman, you're gonna bear children and is it gonna be few? Well, he says I'm gonna multiply it

I'm gonna multiply your conception. Now look obviously God gives different numbers of children to different people

Not everyone is gonna have a whole bunch of kids because some women

They're just gonna have one kid or two kids and it's not because they're using birth control

It's just because they're just not that fertile or their husband is just not that fertile or whatever

And so it's not necessarily a bad thing if you only have one child or two

If that's what God gave you

Because for example, we see great men and women of God in the Bible who had very few children

Because a lot of times in Genesis women are just not getting pregnant and they're praying and they're begging God to give them a

Child and you see women like Rebecca and you see women like Rachel and they're struggling to get pregnant

Obviously, Sarah is the big one famous one and then later in the Bible

You have that same theme in the book of Samuel with Hannah really wanting to have a child

She's praying and begging God and so these women, you know, Rebecca ends up having two kids

You know, Sarah ends up having one kid, right? Rachel ends up having two kids

They're not necessarily having a ton of kids other people in the Bible are having 10 15 20 kids

It's just it's whatever God gives you because here's the thing God is the one who opens and closes the womb

according to scripture so

we have Genesis 3 16 and

Right away that desire shall be to thy husband and he shall rule over thee

Well, that flies in the face of first wave feminism as well, doesn't it?

But as we go through Genesis, we're going to see this over and over again go to Genesis chapter

Genesis 35 · chapter mention

35 if you would and while you're turning there

Genesis 9 verse 1

Genesis 9:1

God tells Noah be fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth in Genesis 24 60

It says they blessed Rebecca and said and her thou art our sister be thou the mother of

Thousands of millions now thousands of millions is the largest number in the Bible and they call them billions actually

thousands of millions so two billion

So when they're blessing her they're saying be thou the mother of thousands of millions two billion. That's incredible

imagine writing that in a

You know baby shower gift card or something like that right at the maternity shower, but Genesis 35 verse 11

Genesis 35:11

God said unto him speaking to Jacob. I am God Almighty

be fruitful and

Multiply a nation and a company of nations shall be of thee and kings shall come out of thine ones

So it's not just Adam who's told to be fruitful multiply. It's not just Noah. It's also Jacob

It's God's people in general look if you would at Exodus chapter number one and

In Exodus chapter number one if you remember the children of Israel have gone down into Egypt

And they went there because there was a famine in the land of Canaan and when they went down there

They went down there as 70 people 70 souls went down there. Well over time those 70 people end up just multiplying

tremendously

To the point where this is what the Egyptians are saying about them in Exodus chapter 1 verse 9

Exodus 1:9

He said unto his people behold the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we

Now this is the most powerful nation on the earth at that time the Egyptians and the Egyptians have the Israelites dwelling among them

Started out as a really small crew, but they're just multiplying like crazy

Number one because God told them to be fruitful and multiply number two

God's blessing them and they're being fruitful and they're multiplying and

So the Egyptians are looking at them saying wow the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier

Than we and they start getting nervous that maybe they're gonna take over and so it says in verse 10

Come on, let us deal wisely with them

Lest they multiply and it come to pass that when they're fall without any war

They join also under our enemies and fight against us and so get them up out of land

And you know what this world today wants to deal wisely with us Christians, too, don't they?

They're like come on

Let's deal wisely with these Christians because there there's too many of them

So basically society has brainwashed Christian people not to reproduce

And that is why the birth rates in Christian countries are just down in the toilet

Just down the tubes to the point where in these European countries the birth rates are so low

It's not even replacement

It's not even replenishment rates where the birth rate in certain places or the fertility rate will be less than one

Obviously for replacement you'd need it to be higher than two

Because you know to replace two parents you'd have to have two kids and that's assuming everybody survives and reproduces and so forth

And so really you need a little more than two of a fertility rate just to maintain

And you have these European countries where the birth rate the fertility rate is below

One of x 0.8 0.9 and you know who's even probably really driving the birth rate in these countries or all the Muslim immigrants

So you have a bunch of Muslims coming in and reproducing like crazy

Whereas the actual Christian European citizens are not reproducing hardly at all

Maybe they're having one kid. Maybe they're having two kids and this is the devil's agenda

Saying hey, let's deal wisely with them

Let's tell them to be smart and be wise and to do family planning

You know instead of just being fruitful multiplying having a bunch of kids having a big family leave it up to God, etc

Look what he says in Deuteronomy chapter 1 flip over to Deuteronomy chapter 1 you see 70 people

Deuteronomy 1 · chapter mention Deuteronomy 1 · chapter mention

literally became millions of people over the course of

400 years in Egypt because when they leave Egypt they count the men of war and the men of war number

600,000 well if the men of war are 600,000 what about all the women? What about all the children?

We're talking about two three million people at least okay?

so remember what was said at

The Going Away Party for Rebecca. Hey be thou the mother of thousands of millions two billion minimum

You know, it's funny because God says something similar

You know through Moses inspired by the Holy Ghost in Deuteronomy 111

It says the Lord God of your fathers make you a thousand times so many more as you are and bless you as he has promised you

There's already a couple million people and he's saying again thousand times as many two billion sounds great

and

So how did they?

Go from 70 people to millions of people and outgrow the Egyptians

Well history tells us and obviously you know we always take these things with a grain of salt

But there is some archaeology to back this up that you know that birth control

Was going on in Egypt that that many even secular textbooks will point to Egypt as the origin of birth control

And Egypt obviously represents worldliness and you know going down into Egypt. It's it's usually not a

blessed thing in the Bible

So let's go to Genesis 38

This is the only

Instance of someone actually using birth control in the entire Bible right because the Bible isn't a book about people using birth control

Or explain because again, this is kind of a modern phenomenon

Where birth control is a big thing now. There's nothing new under the Sun

so yeah, you have people killing their children and

Aborting their babies in the Bible and you have them passing their children through the fire to Molek and you know

practicing and

Fantasized and things like that obviously like I said history tells us that it was going on in Egypt thousands of years ago

There's nothing new under the Sun

But as far as the biblical text as you're reading the Bible stories

What you find is that people want to have kids they want to reproduce

Women are praying that they would have kids and

Society looks on it as a good thing when people are having children and having a lot of children

So the Bible doesn't talk much about birth control, okay

But this is the only Bible story of someone actually

Practicing birth control and it says in Genesis chapter 38 verse 8 and we read the whole chapter before the service

Genesis 38:8

It says and Judah said unto Onan

Go in unto thy brother's wife and marry her and raise up seed to thy brother

So this this guy has died and Judah is telling him

Hey, your brother is dead and his wife so widow. So why don't you marry?

your brother's widow now and then that way you can raise up seed unto your brother, you know

He can carry on your brother's family name and whatever

and

So onan, you know, he says okay onan marries the girl

But then he decides he's gonna use birth control says in verse number nine and onan knew that the seed should not be his

And it came to pass that he went in unto his brother's wife that he spilled it on the ground

Lest he should give seed to his brother and the thing which he did displeased the Lord

Wherefore he slew him also now look God just kills this guy

God looks down from heaven and sees what he did and he kills him

Now I'm not gonna explain this in detail if you're an adult in here

You know what the story just said when it says that he spilled it on the ground

I'm not gonna be any more graphic than what the Bible is being if you know

If you're an adult see me after the service and I'll explain it to you if you don't know what's going on here

I don't want to go into detail, but the idea here is that he is practicing birth control

You know, we'd probably call this well, I don't even want to say it, but you know

This would be classified similar to like a barrier method, but it would actually be called something else

You know, but the point is

That this guy gets punished by God for doing this and it's the only instance

And he's literally killed for it. Now a lot of people would explain this away

Oh, just kidding the old IFP will actually just never read this chapter and never preach about it for any reason

That's the true story. I mean, I remember I had a friend who was going to a church

They're preaching through the entire book of Genesis verse by verse

They got to chapter 38 and they literally said well, we're gonna skip chapter 38 because we don't want to interrupt the story with Joseph

But we're gonna come back to it and you know what you're not gonna believe this

They just never got around to it. They just never got back to it

And so they typically just avoid this chapter like the plague because it doesn't fit with their feminist

Ideology their second wave feminism mentality of pushing birth control

So they typically skip the story

But if they do interact with the story typically what they're gonna say is something along the lines of well

He wasn't being punished for using birth control. It's only because he'd be in selfish

He's doing it for a selfish reason. He's kind of sticking it to his brother. It's an unloving thing to do

Well, what if I told you that everybody's got a selfish reason for using birth control like hey

I want to have a bigger house bigger cars make more money easy life more freedom not have to work hard look

We as human beings we're talking about this before the service, you know

We're kind of just by nature lazy creatures myself included and our brains and our bodies

We want to do the least amount of work possible. We want to take the path of least resistance, right?

I mean, that's just something we struggle with as humans laziness. I think that's a sin that all of us deal with it and

People with character people who get things done

They have to just force themselves to work hard and get things done because the natural tendency is to just

Do nothing. So like I said, you know, yeah, men don't want to work

Women don't want to deal with it men don't want to have to pay for it because let you say oh

It's easy for you to stay as a man. You don't have to give birth to all these kids

Yeah, but I'm the one who has to pay for them all

So yeah, giving birth to them is a lot of work taking care of in the middle of the night

That's hard work. The wives are in sorrow

They're bringing forth children and they're going through those struggles

But you know the man's having to work by the sweat of his face to pay for it all

So both parties are

Sacrificing in order to have children having children is a sacrifice

Having children is an unselfish thing to do because you're basically

Prioritizing someone else's needs and comfort over your own

But why are we doing it because we're told to do it because we're supposed to do it and we're doing it out of love

Right you love your child so you don't mind sacrificing for your child because you love your child

So you're doing it out of love you're doing it out of obedience to God

I don't care why you're doing it. You're doing it. It's what the Bible says

Why do I go to work? You know I go to work to make money for myself

Yeah, but also for my wife also for my children and you know what when I first started Faithful Word Baptist Church

back in 2005 and

I moved out here

I didn't know if my job was even still my job because I moved out here and I I had given notice at my job

But then my boss said hey start a branch out in Arizona. So I was like, oh, maybe this will work

Maybe it won't I'll try and I got here and it was right before the housing crash

So they lied to me about my loan and so it ended up being like an extra four grand that I didn't have

They had to stick four grand on a credit card

So I ended up just coming here. It was the wrong timing

all kinds of things went wrong and I ended up just having like

$11,000 of credit card debt and just no certain job and a messed up

Home loan when they were writing all those wild loans before the crash and everything like that and you know what?

I was in that situation and

You know what? I had to work a lot of hours and I had to work really hard to pay off that credit card

And to pay my house payment, you know and to just deal with all that stuff

But you know what at the same time I was trying to make extra money to make things a little nicer for my wife

And make things a little nicer for my kids trying to get them the things that would make their lives better

Put a swing set in the backyard

You know maintain the swimming pool be able to allow them to go do stuff and whatever

Get them the vehicle that they want or whatever. Hey

Being a family man or a family woman is sacrifice whether you're the dad or the mom it's sacrifice

So you can see why this self-centered

Generation that's obsessed with themselves basically just wants to go through life. It's just why would we have kids?

You know, why don't we just do it for ourselves?

But what does the Bible say? Well, the Bible says that God is the one who opens and closes the womb

Genesis you don't have to turn to these I'm just gonna rattle these off

But Genesis chapter 20 verse 18 says for the Lord had fast closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech

Genesis 20:18

Because of Sarah Abraham's wife

Genesis 29 31 when the Lord saw that Leo was hated he opened her womb, but Rachel was barren

Genesis 30 verse 22 God remembered Rachel and God

Genesis 30:22

Harkened her and opened her womb. So even just in the first book of the Bible

It's like God opened this person's womb God closed this person's what he's opening the womb and he's closing the womb and

He's up in heaven

Determining whether people are able to have children or not and look if you're if you're someone who really wants to have kids

And you can't have kids, you know, you need to just trust in the Lord

Wait on his timing because every single barren woman in the Bible every single one of them eventually had kids

You know, you just got to pray and wait on Lord and you know what if God never blesses you with children

That's just his will and you just find other sources of joy in life if he blesses you with too many children

You know, that's his will. You just got to deal with it

You know God is gonna give us all a path to walk. He's gonna give us all across to bear

And it's gonna be different for everybody. Blessed be the name of the Lord and

So it says in first Samuel chapter 1 verse 5 about Hannah the Lord had shut up her womb

1 Samuel 1:5

It says just in the next breath in verse 6 again, the Lord had shut up her womb and

On and on it goes we could point to other verses

But here's the bottom line go to 1st Timothy chapter 5 bottom line is this first Timothy chapter 5

1 Timothy 5 · chapter mention

It is God's will that you have children. Okay, you be fruitful. You multiply he opens and closes the womb

It's God's will that you have children the Bible says in 1st Timothy 5 verse 14

I will therefore that the younger women marry bare children guide the house

Give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully for some are already turned aside after Satan

What does the Bible say?

That it is God's will for women to get married

Bare children and then to guide the house. Why so that they don't turn after Satan

That's what the Bible says

Look an idle mind is the devil's workshop

Just as a man with no gainful employment is probably likely to get into trouble and get into thing

you know a woman who's not doing her job of getting married bearing children and guiding the house is

likely to get into trouble

This is God's will for the vast majority of people now. There are exceptions to this

There are certain special

Exceptional people that are just gonna be single and they're just gonna serve God as a single person

Like the apostle Paul or something and I'm sure that there are women that are just gonna serve God as singles and be greatly used by God

But that is the exception not the rule quit thinking you're the exception all the time if you have to wonder

You're probably not the exception and you know what if you are the exception then you better be exceptional

Like I don't want to I don't want some super lame Christian who's doing Jack for the Lord coming up to me tell hey

I'm the apostle Paul. No, you're not

You know, hey, I'm gonna stay single because I it's like okay

Well that if you're gonna stay single then work your butt off for God

But if you're just gonna stay single and you're not gonna work your butt off for the Lord sounds like you're just lazy

Sounds like you just don't want to do the job of a man sounds like you just don't want to do the job of a woman and look obviously

We don't want to just marry the first girl that comes along

You know, you got to find the right person and so you got to be patient sometimes

I'm not saying you're you're necessarily gonna get married young

But if you're not married and you're not exceptional and you're not the apostle Paul you should be looking

You should at least be open

You know if you're at that age, okay

If you're young, hey, you just want to focus on other things

Enjoy your childhood and youth for as long as you can

Savor it. It's it's a nice time in your life. Amen

But in general what is God's will for women and when it says younger women the context is he's talking about women under 60

Okay, that's what he's not talking about super young or something. He's just saying women under the age of 60

Okay, now look

I have practiced what I preached on this because of the fact that my wife and I have not practiced birth control in our marriage

Now when I first got married, I was young and stupid

I got some bad advice and so my wife was on birth control pills for the first three months of our marriage

Just because I got bad advice

Okay, and I was just young and dumb and didn't know what was going on

And so my wife was on birth control pills for the first three months then because I thought that oh

I got to wait for my insurance to kick in or blah blah blah

She ended up getting pregnant in the fourth month of our marriage

But then she had a miscarriage

Because little did I know that these birth control pills that she's taking is basically messing up her reproductive system

Because that's what they do. They create a hostile environment in the uterus

So then if you turn around and get pregnant afterward, it's likely to die and that's what happened

So she ended up having a miscarriage and then she got pregnant again and we have pretty much had children, you know

About every two years for our entire marriage, okay?

Sometimes it'd be more like a year and a half sometimes close to the three years

But they're all pretty much like almost exactly two years apart like the the years that they were born are like a

One oh three oh four oh seven oh eight ten twelve fourteen eighteen, you know something like that those those numbers are all accurate. I

Always get a little confused on the last couple

I'm getting old but anyway, so the point is that you know, we have not used birth control a lot of people think

Oh, if you don't use birth control, you're gonna have a baby every nine months. This is not true

Now again, there are gonna be

Exceptions that prove the rule of people that are just super fertile or you know, whatever

But in general as long as you're exclusively breastfeeding. There's something that's a phenomenon called lactational amineria

That will naturally space your children

So just by breastfeeding the baby you end up not being fertile for the time that you're exclusively breastfeeding the baby

That worked with my wife. So she's not even having a period for

9 10 11 12 months after giving birth because of the fact that she's fully breastfeeding

This is the way God designed it. That's why in Hosea chapter 1

Hosea 1 · chapter mention

It says that when Hosea's wife had weaned low Ruhama, then she gets pregnant again

Why because she weans the one child meaning puts it on solid food

Then she gets pregnant because God naturally did this as a way to space it out

Obviously having children every 9 10 11 12 months is not healthy and not good for you

It's not God's design and so obviously you want to try to avoid that you don't have to use birth control

Just by exclusively breastfeeding that's going to do it for most people other people might want to just you know

At least do something as far as just you know

Not having sex during those times of the month or something, you know, just to let your body heal

Right to just let your body catch up. Okay, but if you're just saying they're just like, oh, we're not sure if we want another one

Well, you know what? Why don't we just let the Lord make that decision?

You know and so we've done this and you know, I've jokingly said, you know

This is the the only method of birth control that we ever used was just praying and asking God to give us more children

That was the method of birth control that we used. Okay

But the bottom line is that we've done that we did this I got married to my wife when I was

19 and she was 21 years old

Okay, and we started having children right away. We had children pretty much every two years

We have 12 children and now

It appears that we are done having children, you know fingers crossed, you know knock on wood

But it seems like we're done because right now our youngest is four years old

And we've never had a gap this long and so my wife is 47 years old

I know you'd never believe it because she looks amazing, but it's true. Okay, I'm not lying and so

She's 47. She's probably done. It appears that we're done

We finished our course. We kept the faith, etc

Now let me give you some historical thoughts on and I know that this sermon is not popular

I'm I know that this offends people and bothers people but at the end of the day, you know, I'm just preaching what the bible says

I don't see any birth control in the bible except onan getting smoked for doing it

If you got a verse that I'm missing I'd love to see it

But let's get to historical thoughts. Let's go to that great fundamental baptist preacher of the past

President Theodore Roosevelt. Oh, whoops. He wasn't a fundamental baptist, but he was the president of the United States

Who knows who Theodore Roosevelt is you could tell me something about Theodore Roosevelt, you know

And the rough riders and all that right?

So here's what he said

To congress on december 3rd 1906. So this is literally from 1906

Theodore Roosevelt president of the United States spoke to congress and here's what he said

When home ties are loosened

When men and women cease to regard a worthy family life

With all its duties fully performed and all its responsibilities lived up to as the life best worth living

Than evil days for the commonwealth are at hand

There are regions in our land

And classes of our population

Where the birth rate has sunk below the death rate

Now isn't that exactly what I was just talking about like these places in europe

Where they're not even replacing the people that die because the birth rate is like below one

So Theodore Roosevelt saying there are certain areas of the country and certain demographics where the birth rate has sunk below the death rate

Surely it should need no demonstration to show that willful sterility

Now he's not using the modern fancy word birth control because you know, that's just not really the parlance back then because

You know, that's a modern idea and concept. And so he says willful sterility

is

From the standpoint of the nation from the standpoint of the human race

The one sin

The one what?

This is Theodore Roosevelt talking to congress the one sin

For which the penalty is national death

race death

A sin for which there is no atonement. It's like, okay, teddy settle down

What the I mean wow this guy's a little too wild even for me

This is some hard preaching

This is from the president. This is not even church

A sin for which there is no atonement

A sin which is more dreadful

Exactly in proportion as the men and women guilty thereof are in other respects in character and bodily and mental powers

Those whom for the sake of the state

It would be well to see the fathers and mothers of many happy children

Well brought up in homes made happy by their presence. Now. What is he saying? He's saying look

The people that are not derelicts are the ones that need to be reproducing

And he's like the smarter and healthier and better people they are

And then those are the ones that are having birth control

He's like those are the ones we need to having kids

But no, no, no, let's bring a bunch of semi retarded muslims

And let's have them have eight nine ten kids and then all the christians who love the lord and love the bible

And actually no not to marry your cousin

And they actually know that you know pedophilia is wrong and that mohammed shouldn't have married a nine-year-old piss be upon him

Let's have a bunch of you know, uh like sub down syndrome iq muslims reproduce and then we don't reproduce, right?

I mean look teddy has got it

No man no woman

Can shirk the primary duties of life whether for love of ease and pleasure

Or for any other cause and retain his or her self-respect notice. This is not an attack on women

He's saying men and women

Need to both be involved here. They both need to do their part because guess what it's not like

It's men making their wives have kids

You know the bottom line is usually in a marriage the wife is the one who wants to have more kids

And look obviously there are some situations where the husband wants more and the wife doesn't or the wife wants more

And the husband doesn't but let's face it throughout the 20th century and into the 21st century

I think that birth control in many ways

It was men who didn't want their wives to have kids and it's the wife talking the husband into having more kids

Because she wants something to do

You know and she wants to enjoy more kids. She likes having babies

You know women are they have a baby and they're like i'm never doing this again

You know they're in labor and it's painful and they're like i'm never doing this again. This is the last time

right, but then

They get around somebody who just had a baby and they see that little newborn

And then it's just like they get that baby fever once again and they're like uh, we gotta have another one

But at the end of the day

You know, this is something that god has told us is our job. It's our life

It's our responsibility men to pay the bill women to conceive and have the children its life

Okay, let's go to an actual baptist preacher. That was theodore roosevelt

president of the united states

Let's talk about another famous baptist preacher called john r rice now

Who here would say i don't know who john r rice is i've never heard of john r rice, but at the end if you're just like

I don't know who that is. Okay. Well, here's the thing

That doesn't really surprise me because this guy passed away back in 1980. Okay, so this guy hasn't been around for a while

But i asked both chat gpt and grok to tell me who are the three most famous independent fundamental baptist pastors of all time

And john r rice was in the top three

Both on chat gpt and grok. So he's considered one of the top three

Most famous most influential independent baptist pastors of all time. Okay

And the hymnals that we have here are published by the sort of the lord

He's the founder of the sort of the lord my dad heard this guy preach in la back in the 60s every year

And so john r rice wrote a book in 1945 called the home

It's a great book

But i'm going to read for you from john r rice's book on the home the use of artificial means

Drugs and appliances to prevent conception has for centuries been regarded as immoral

Wrong for the individual and dangerous to society as a whole

Those who would encourage widespread use of contraceptives and other artificial methods of birth control or prevention

Are in the minority now. This is in 1945 nowadays

99 of people are for

Birth control, but in 1945 he's saying these people are in the minority

And they've always been opposed by most of the christian and moral leadership of the world

The roman catholic church has steadfastly insisted that the use of contraceptives and the limiting of families

Or preventing of conception is a sin

Conservative Protestant leaders who believe the bible and stand for historic christianity have usually taken the same position

And common people everywhere have felt unless sentiment has changed in the last few years. Sorry it has

There was a great danger in the spread of information about birth control or in the general practice of birth control

The sentiment of common decent people

Backed up by the intellectual leadership and the moral and christian leadership of the world is illustrated by the laws on the statute books

Of most countries including the united states

Every state in the union except for two

Forbidding the general dissemination of information about birth control. So when he's writing this in 1945

He's saying that in all states except for two

Disseminating a pamphlet about birth control is illegal

Let alone selling drugs or birth control devices

If you even just wrote a pamphlet or a book or give a speech explaining to people how to do birth control

It was illegal in all of the states except two

Folks, this is less than a hundred years ago. This is about 80 years ago. Okay

A radical minority usually either anti christian or modernists who deny the authority of the bible

Carry on an insistent propaganda for birth control

Some of them no doubt are sincere and hope to do away with some of the handicaps and poverty

Which some large families undergo

But usually those who are outspoken advocates of birth control are either feminists

Or the radical groups trying to make women more or less independent of men

Or our social radicals who advocate companionate marriage

Easy divorce free love and the radicals who try to break down the bible standard of permanent marriage

Between one man and one woman try to break down the biblical standard for homes

That is what the independent fundamental baptist used to preach

So I get up and preach the same thing in 2026 and i'm considered crazy

Radical whatever no, maybe you're just a feminist and maybe i'm a bible believing christian

Still staying with the standard that everyone believed for almost 2000 years. How about that? Maybe that's what's going on

Maybe you've been brainwashed now. What's funny is that I bought a copy of that book on the home

At hiles anerson college it was in the college bookstore at hiles anerson college and it's a great book

But you know what's funny is that fast forward to when I was at hiles anerson college and they had

Birth control pills being dispensed on campus

By the campus doctor. They had a campus doctor on staff at hiles anerson named dr. Dennis

Streeter and there was a mandatory meeting for all engaged girls that they had to go to a meeting where dr

Dennis Streeter taught them about birth control prescribed them birth control on the campus of the bible college

And he said and did other perverted things too

He told them he tried to scare them. And how do I know this because my wife actually went to the meeting and recorded it

And this is what he said in the meeting. He said, yeah, there's a lot of women on their wedding night

They have what's called an imperforable hymen

Which is funny at the time I googled it. It got zero hits

Okay, and so it's some super rare thing or whatever, right?

And so they're not going to be able to have sex on their wedding night

So you go to him and he's going to basically go in there and open things up for them

Deflower the maidens so that they'll be able to party on their wedding night. What a pervert

What a weirdo is I think I saw that on braveheart or something

Right, I think that was like a major plot point in the movie braveheart

You know this guy over here is trying to do the same thing. What a pervert

But how's Anderson college literally taught and preached publicly to the whole student body

That married couples should wait two years after getting married before they try to have children

So they taught don't even start don't even think about it

Don't even begin to have children until you've been married for at least two years. This is worldly

Lip-tard advice. This is not bible-believing christian advice

It's not what the bible says and you want to know why the worldly lip-tard feminists of the world tell you to wait two years

Because here's what they're saying make sure the marriage even works out

Before you complicate it by bringing children into it wait two years make sure you know, how about this?

How about we just start reproducing right away because it's do or die because it's till death do us part

I didn't go into marriage like oh, let's try it out

Let's give this a whirl. No, I went into marriage saying this is bone of my bone

This is flesh of my flesh to love and to cherish till death do us part

That's what I went. That's how I went into marriage

I didn't go into marriage. I was gonna try it. It's like no this is for life

It's not like oh, it's gonna make a messy divorce or whatever or oh, you just gotta get to know each other

You know it's like bro, even if you got pregnant on the wedding night, you still got nine months

You don't have a child the first day anyway

You know, it's not like you just

Have a baby the second day of marriage or something

And they want you to take birth control and by the way the birth control pills

They were giving out at house anerson were a board of faciant birth control pills

They don't prevent conception. They prevent implantation and if you believe life begins at conception

They're a board of faciant birth control pills. I don't have time to explain that

So I got a hurry because I got a couple more points

I want to hit on with the second wave of feminism and I'm I'm trying to cram it all into one sermon

Let me just review real quick with a quick timeline on birth control in the united states

In 1873

There was a federal law called the calm stock act that made it a crime

To put contraceptives abortifacients or information about them in the mail. It was all illegal

Okay

1936

In the united states versus one package

A federal appeals court held that physicians could legally receive and prescribe contraceptives for medical reasons

So in 1936 they changed it to well

Doctors can get this information

If there's a medical reason like for example, like someone is having a medical problem

Where they can't have kids not for healthy people but for people that are having some kind of a problem

They can pass information about this in case they have a patient

They can't safely get pregnant or have a baby or blah blah blah

That's what they're talking about in 1936 then in 1960 we get to the feminist wave of the 60s

And which you know most people would point to the year 1960 as the second wave of feminism beginning

Uh the fda approved the first oral contraceptive

Which was known as the pill for contraceptive use

But this approval by itself did not repeal state criminal laws that didn't allow it in most states

Okay

Then this is the big one 1965. This is the big one 1965

Griswold versus connecticut the supreme court struck down connecticut's ban on contraceptive use by married couples

So connecticut said if you're married you still can't use birth control

That was struck down in 1965

In 1971 they got rid of the calm stock laws about birth control and in 1972

Eisen stott versus baird the court extended the right to unmarried people

And so to give you just the short version

Birth control was illegal for married couples pretty much totally illegal in a lot of places most places in america

For married couples until 1965

That's not that long ago. I mean in 1965 my dad was 15 years old

My mom was 14 years old

So, I mean this is like not going back a bunch of generations and birth control is illegal for married people

And then it became totally legal for unmarried people

So it's totally legal for married people in 65 totally married for the unmarried fornicators of this world

In 1972 and then what happened in 1973?

Anybody know the famous legal court decision of 1973? What was it the big one?

It's roe v. Wade

abortion

legal nationwide so birth control 65 72

Boom right on the heels of birth control is abortion in 1973. Oh, and by the way, did you know that planned parenthood?

Which is known for promoting and performing abortion. Do you know what it was originally called?

It was founded by margaret sanger and it was called the birth control federation of america

And the birth control federation of america was later rebranded to planned parenthood

All right, I got a hurry so point number one on second wave feminism was birth control point number two

No fault divorce now. I'm not going to spend any time on this because I just did a whole sermon on this less than two weeks ago

But you know this was illegal in the usa everywhere

You were not allowed to get a divorce in this country anywhere

Unless you went to court and proved that there was a valid reason for you to get divorced, right?

But starting in california with the 1969 law that went into effect in 1970

You have what's called no fault divorce, which is just like well. I'm just getting divorced because I just don't like my husband anymore

I'm just getting divorced because I just don't like my life anymore or we just we just have irreconcilable differences

We're just not in love anymore just getting divorced for whatever the reason that only goes back to 1970

And that's california the rest of the nation

passed laws after that it took all the way into the 90s

For the whole country to have no fault divorce there were still places

Where it was still illegal and i'm not going to spend time on this point because I already did a whole sermon on it

But i'll just give you one bible verse matthew 532

But I say unto you that whosoever shall put away his wife saving for the cause of fornication

Causes her to commit adultery and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committed adultery

Doesn't sound like no fault divorce to me

Number three

marital rape

Okay, this is the these are the these are the tenets of second wave feminism birth control

No fault divorce and marital rape again

I'm not going to spend time on this one because I've already preached about it a bunch of times

I've already taught scriptures, but south dakota

And nebraska were the first states to remove the spousal exemption in 1975

So this legal concept didn't even exist in america that that somehow there could be rape within marriage

How does that even work?

But this came out in 1975 in south dakota and nebraska

Okay

And then the first time it was ever actually like charged where somebody actually got charged with this crime was in

1978

Oregon versus ride out

And then by the mid 1980s about 20 states

We're still uh

Treating it as a crime and at least some circumstances and then the last state to drop the formal exemption

Were oklahoma and north carolina in 1993

So over the course of the 70s up through 1993 all these states started saying hey

You can get raped by your husband, you know, basically like like, uh, how dare he tell you that you have to have sex with him

Or something, you know, and I'm not going to spend time on this

I'm just going to give you one bible verse on this first corinthians chapter 7 verse 4 if you want to turn there

1 Corinthians 7:4

And if you're confused about this issue, you need to turn there

I hear do I need to come turn there for you and help you find it because like if you're confused about this issue

You need to be turning there right now

Okay, and if you're not confused just turn there anyway to make the people around you feel better about themselves for turning there

but you know

The bible says in first corinthians 7 4 the wife

Half not power of her own body, but the husband

And likewise also the husband

Have not power of his own body, but the wife meaning that I can't say to my wife

Hey, my body my choice. How dare you touch me there?

You know, how dare you try to get jiggity with me or you know, how dare you try to get freaky with me here

How dare you try to get it on with me? Did you get my permission first? Did you get my consent? It's like we're married

Okay, and and so here's the thing like the bible is in in the context of this passage the bible is saying

Look

This is a duty that you perform

For your spouse. This is not something that you're allowed to withhold and weaponize

And and and make him whine you and dying you or make her

Woo you and beg you it's like no, this is something that is required in marriage. You're supposed to freely

And joyfully and with alacrity. You're supposed to enjoy this relationship with your spouse

He says look to avoid fornication

Let every man have his own wife let every woman have her own husband

And he says, you know, you don't want to abstain from this activity in marriage

Because then satan will tempt you for your incongnancy. So he's basically saying, you know

Indulge in this freely within marriage

And the only time you should abstain from it is with consent meaning like

Hey, is it all right if we take a break from this so that we can pray and fast, you know

Now look, obviously there are times when women are out of commission

Like for example when they're on their period, they're out of commission according to the scripture

When they've just given birth, they're out of commission for a month or two afterward

Could be even a little bit longer to you know with with surgeries and complications and problems

Obviously there are times when women are out of commission

But in general men and women are supposed to freely engage in this activity within marriage

And when the bible says the husband does not have power of his own body, but the wife does

It's saying that he does not have authority over his body

His wife has the authority over his body

Meaning that she can do what she wants with his body and he can do with what he wants with her

Meaning that they can basically have sex whenever they want because they're married

Now if this is common sense

Anybody with two brain cells to rub together knows

That this is true even without the bible telling you that but the bible did just tell you that

And and here's what you here's what I say, you know, if you're saved if you're a saved christian

Because I understand that unsaved people can't understand the bible

But if you're saved and you can't understand this simple bible verse 1st Corinthians 7 verse 4

You know, we should probably call you an ambulance because you might be having a stroke or something

You know, we should probably take you to the hospital to get checked out

Because because you know, you shouldn't be that stupid

And yet we have these retards out there

Trashing me on the internet every day and playing little clips of making you believe this guy

When I'm saying what every single person in america believed for the first few hundred years

And that every judge in every courtroom agreed like what kind of a retard thinks that that that a husband

That has sex with his wife is raping her because oh because she

Didn't feel like it or whatever or she changed her mind or what it's like bull crap

And you know what people can criticize me on this as much as they want. I will never change on this

I will never back down

And you know what if these libtard feminist fools don't like it they can go to hell as far as I'm concerned

Ask me if I care somebody has to be the voice of reason

Somebody has to be the voice of sanity

Somebody has to tell the truth and you know what if other pastors don't have the guts

To say what needs to be said because they don't want to get made fun of and they don't want to get persecuted

You know what I'll say it

And somebody's got to say it i'm going to say it and you know what you bunch of cowards out there online

You pastors that won't preach the truth about what first carinthian 74 says you have lace on your underwear

You're faggoty. You're a loser. You suck period

You think I care you think i'm going to be bullied by a bunch of feminists that want me to engage

In first wave of feminism second. No, it's all trash

It's all garbage. It's ruining our society. It's ruining our culture

I'm not going to

Oh, but the bible says

That you're supposed to love your wife. Yeah, no crop the bible says i'm supposed I do love my wife

And guess what people who actually believe what the bible says are nicer to their wives than idiot libtards

Who don't believe the bible did you know that?

People who believe the bible are better husbands

You know what? I am super nice to my wife. I'm super thoughtful of her

I'm super caring of her and you know what? No, I'm not just coming home and just all right

I'm here to take what I want or something that's stupid

I've been married for 26 years. I've never physically forced my wife ever in 26 years of marriage

But you know what if my wife just refused to have sex with me for months or years on end

I would make her do it

You know what I don't care go ahead and clip this make a short put it on tick tock all your gross

Weird androgynous feminist blobs can give click like on your little reel

You think I care about what this brain dead retarded 20 second clip

A bunch of freaking chimpanzees looking at their phone

Could be in a retard read a book

Do you actually read a book that was published more than 50 years ago? Maybe you'd know how the world works

Look at those eyebrows on her oh that marital rape

You know what? Why don't you get a brain?

Why don't you read your bible? Why don't you read a book?

Why don't you stop being brainwashed with the most modern

Newfangled ideas and then you're going to call yourself an independent fundamental Baptist

And they get up and they give us this weird

Virtue signal. Well, I just believe that husbands should love their wives

We all do

Right

But but but husbands shouldn't have to force their wives

No kidding

That's the whole point

Well, you know, I mean if you have to make your wife you just have a really messed up marriage. Yeah, I know

What if I told you that the world is filled with messed up marriages

I mean come on if you don't have to force your wife if you have to force your husband

You're really a messed up person. What if I told you that this whole world is filled with messed up people

What if I told you that god looked down on the earth at one point and it was so messed up?

He just drowned everyone

He drowned the whole planet

Except for noa and seven other people

He looked down and he said the imagination of man's heart is only evil continually

Listen to me my friend. There are two kinds of preachers on this issue

There's the preacher who gets up and tells you the truth because he loves you and he's real with you

And he cuts the crap and says look

There are real life problems in marriage. Here's how you deal with them. And then there's the way he's just like

Oh, I just have a perfect marriage

Hey, buddy. Look at me. Look at me and my wife. We're a power couple and you know what

You don't think I could just brag all day about how me and my wife are just so awesome

And we're just a power couple and we just never have problems and it's just so great. It's just so wonderful. You know what?

That is not helpful to the guy who is having marriage problems

That is not helpful to the gal who is having marriage problems

Just you're just like like you think that if somebody came to me with a marriage problem

I'm just gonna be like, well, you're just a messed up person

Y'all are really messed up. Y'all are the most freaked up people that you've ever been in my office

Or do you think I'm probably rather going to try to help them out?

And you know what? I'm going to show the you know what? I'm going to show people the bible and say like

Hey, the bible says you're supposed to put out

Get over it man

Well, I'm never coming back to this church. Well, you know what? That's why I'm going to give you the whole thing while you're here

All right, I I thought I was supposed to just gloss over that point

What the heck happened number one birth control number two new fault divorce number three marital rape

number four

workplace discrimination

Now go if you were to 1st Timothy chapter five and look these are the main tenets of second wave feminism

okay, so uh workplace discrimination

And what this really comes down to is that women wanted to make the same amount of money that men make

They're saying hey if we're doing the same job we should be making the same amount of money

And so they didn't want to be discriminated against where if they have a choice between hiring a man and a woman

They're going to hire the man

For the same position or if they have a man and a woman doing the job

They might pay the man a little more to do the job then they would pay a woman because they want to have a man

Doing the job. So this was made illegal

Right as a result of these feminist waves of the 60s and 70s they passed a lot of laws in the 70s about this

Uh and really what it comes down to is they're trying to become their own breadwinners

In order to get out from under their husband's authority, you know

It's what this comes out or they don't want to do the job of having children

They'd rather go out of the house and do a different job

Then you know staying home bearing children guiding the house. What does the bible say though?

The bible teaches that a woman's place in the home

1st Timothy 5 14

I will therefore that the younger women marry bear children guide the house

Give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully for some are already turned aside after satan

Notice the term in verse 14 guide the house. That's their job to run the house

And you know, this is actually a lot of freedom and power because the husband's at work all day

The wife is the boss while he's gone

So she tells the servants what to do. She tells the children what to do

She's the second in command of the house. That's a pretty good position

Now you say servants. What the heck

Well, obviously throughout history people have had servants working for them and doing things with them

But even today we kind of have servants too. It's just a different kind of servant because how many people here have ever used instacart

You know or uber eats. Yeah, and then more hands go up. Yeah

Those are your servants bringing you your food. How many people here hire a pool man?

How many people here hire the landscaper?

You know or whatever, you know different people hire people to do different things for them

You know, whether it's

You know the servitude of a thousand years ago or today's version of it

We have different people, you know, how many of you call the electrician to come work on your house when something goes wrong

You call a plumber. You call the carpenter. You call different people

You know those people are coming and who's usually making those calls

My wife's the one calling the appliance repairman

My wife's the one calling the plumber in my wife's the one talking to the home warranty or whatever

about getting a new dishwasher

Or something, you know, so she is telling people what to do and she's telling the kids what to do

She is guiding the house. She is leading the house

And then flip over a couple pages of the right in your bible tidus chapter two

I'm going to hurry up and get through this

Titus chapter two verse four that they may teach the young women to be sober to love their husbands to love their children

To be discreet

Chased watch this keepers at home meaning that they're doing housekeeping. That's the job

Good and obedient to their own husbands

That the word of god be not blaspheme

So this whole workplace discrimination thing is like, yeah

Obviously men need to be the primary breadwinners. They're the primary earners

Okay, and sitting there and saying well women need to make the same amount of money so they can compete with men

Women shouldn't be competing with men in general

Most women need to be staying home married with the kids if they're past that age where they've are the kids are

Out of the house or they just don't have any children. God just didn't give them children or they're single

Yeah, they're going to work jobs and everything, but they can't just expect the the red carpet to be rolled out that

Hey, you're going to make the same amount of money as this guy who's trying to support a whole family

Right and let's face it. There's a fundamental difference between men and women

Let me tell you what that is men put work first

You know what men are like up work emergency gotta miss the t-ball game

Right. Look every single movie tv show and book demonizes the guy who's like

Oh, sorry. I gotta miss the birthday party because I got a work emergency

Bro is trying to put food on the table

You know what and my wife is smart enough to know that if there's a work emergency, she's like go to work

She didn't want me at the birthday party if it means, you know getting fired or losing a customer or losing

It's like bro pay the bills

The heck

You've been watching too many

Movies and sitcoms. Oh the bad man who works hard and and you know misses the football game or something

Because you know what men will tend to do men will prioritize work

You know because men are like I got to pay these bills because you know what man

I I sit around and I think about like man. I got to provide. I got to pay these bills

I got to be responsible here. I got to go to work. I got to make extra money

You know my wife's just like cha-ching cha-ching cha-ching and I'm just like I got to make this money

No, I'm just kidding. My wife is very frugal

I was just a joke

But guess what women will do women women are constantly missing work

for family stuff

Why because deep down

They know that family stuff is the most important thing to them that they're supposed to be doing

And so they're going to be tending to not put work first

Whereas a man will tend to put work first

Now obviously there are exceptions to this they're going to be women who put work first and men who don't whatever but it's just

You know it's just life

And lastly this number five household chores

So let me read you some quotes from some feminist feminist literature of the period but uh

This is from the power of women and the subversion of the community sounds great

Hence we must refuse housework as women's work. This is 1972

As work imposed upon us which we never invented

So it's like we didn't invent housework. Well, who did

I don't think anybody like invented housework. It's just like it's just it's just there man

It goes back to the garden of eden

Dress and keep the garden

Hence we must refuse housework as women's work as work imposed upon us which we never invented

Which has never been paid for in which they forced us to cope with absurd hours

12 and 13 a day in order to force us to stay at home

Now look, it's true that women do work like 12 or 13 hours a day a lot of times as housewives, but they're also at home

You know, it's kind of nice to work from home

Kind of nice to be at home and they're also doing something meaningful

By raising their children and cooking nutritious meals for their husband and taking care of the house

So look, obviously going to work is hard and being a stay-at-home wife is hard too. They're both hard

Didn't we talk about that at the beginning of the sermon in genesis three?

Oh, these hours are absurd. You know what we as men we often work 12 13 hour days too

The role of housewife here's another quote from feminist literature the role of housewife behind whose isolation is hidden social labor

Must be destroyed

The role of housewife must be destroyed

And then Dalla Costa speaking for the Italian campaign in 1974

For us the demand for wages for housework

Is a direct demand for power

Because the housework is what millions of women have in common

This was like a move to demand wages for housework like they want to be paid

to do the housework

Now as a result of second wave feminism

Generation x became known as quote the latchkey generation

Who's heard this term latchkey child or latchkey generation and a latchkey child means a school-aged child

Who come home from school to an empty house comes home from school to an empty house lets himself in

Often with a key on a cord

The phrase was already in use in world war two for the children of women in the war industry

But it became a national worry again in the late 70s and 80s

Aimed at what is now often called the latchkey generation mostly late baby boomers and generation x

The children of parents who were both at work in the afternoon

So both parents are at work all day

So you get home from school and there's just nobody there

You know, I thank god that when I was growing up

You know, my mom was there

And she was cooking and she was there to greet you and she was there to supervise and hang out with you

You know, my mom was there

But in that generation most moms weren't there because they'd all been gone to work and hey

We're going to be equal to men because look what do all five I gave you five points tonight. I'm done

Five points tonight. Okay. We said birth control

No fault divorce. We said marital rape

Uh discrimination at the workplace and uh, what was the last one? We just said it

Household chores, you know, look at what all this stuff has in common. It's basically it's a rejection

of the wife's role

As the homemaker

It's rejecting her role as like stay at home wife

Stay at home mother

Obedient to her husband

She's supposed to be there for him to provide

You know romance and eroticism for him. She's there to provide food

And household work and take care of things and it's like a nuclear family

Where the husband's paying all the bills and you know what a lot of women would love to live this way

In 2026 because the feminist crap hasn't panned out

So a lot of women are looking at this and like man, I would love to have a big strong man

Come home and feed him dinner

And he pays for everything and I can just stay home all day do chores hang out with the kids

And you know party at night and whatever

Like like what kind of a warped person do you have to be to think that this is bad or wrong?

Well, you have to be a feminist

You just think it's so cool to just clock in and clock out. You're going to be told what to do at work

You think work doesn't tell you what to do

Oh

These women and they're just chained to the stove

You're going to be chained to the stove at pandex press

Or you're going to be chained to your own stove making what you want or you're going to be a white person making chinese food

Every day, you know, my wife makes chinese food sometimes

But she can cook whatever she wants

Here's the last verse thus sayeth the lord stand ye in the ways and see and ask for the old paths

Wherein is the good way and walk there in and ye shall find rest for your souls

But they said we will not walk there in i'm woman hear me war

And you know what you don't like this servant sermon, then you know what the door swings both ways

Goodbye, it was great having you god bless you and to the rest of you

I love you and thank you for being in church because you know what?

I'm so glad that I have a church full of people who love the bible and care what the bible says amen

Because you know what I would not

Even be pastoring if people were as stupid as these tick-tock liberal women if I had a church full of people this stupid

Then I would be done today

I love the fact that we have a couple hundred people that love the lord care what the bible says

And you know what the x and i of b is trash

And they're a bunch of feminists and the old i of b is feminist because they agree with literally

90 of the first wave and second wave of feminism

Let's bards and I word of prayer

Father we thank you so much for your word lord

We thank you so much for these truths and lord if there's anyone who's offended by the sermon lord

I pray that they would just do some soul searching and more importantly that they would do some scripture searching

Before they just act emotionally about the sermon lord god

I pray that you'd bless those who are following your word and want to live life your way

I pray that you would bless all the families and all the parents

And all the people who are working hard to bring up children in the nurturing admonition of the lord

Even in a society that's fighting us every step of the way

And trying to brainwash our children and steal them from us and turn them into liberal morons lord god

I pray that you would please just bless

Our church and everyone who's under the sound of my voice who actually cares

What the bible says and it's in christ's name we pray amen
