Inflation of Female Status is Occult
November 6, 2026

( Left. Isidore Marie Auguste Francois Xavier Comte (1798-1857)
Over 160 years ago, the Freemason August Comte
wanted to perfect society by elevating women to "goddess" status.
"M. Comte aims at establishing ...a despotism of society over the individual, surpassing anything contemplated in the political ideal of the most rigid disciplinarian among the ancient philosophers." John Stuart Mill

By Henry Makow PhD
In 1852, Illuminati philosopher Auguste Comte said social progress required that human reproduction "depend solely on the woman." He implied women should use artificial insemination to shut men out of procreation.
"If in human reproduction, the man contributes merely a stimulus, one that is but an incidental accompaniment of the real office of his generative system, then it is conceivable that we might substitute for this stimulus one or more which should be at women's free disposal..." he wrote.
The goal seems to be to eliminate sexual attraction altogether.
"Woman, even in her physical functions, may become independent of men...The highest species of production would no longer be at the mercy of a capricious and unruly instinct, the proper restraint of which has hitherto been the chief stumbling-block in the way of human discipline." (System of Positive Polity,1851-1854, Vol. IV, P. 60, 61.)
In a chilling presentiment, he wrote, "A female friend, if well chosen, who could make herself a member of the
family, would in most cases do better than the father himself." -(Vol. IV, P. 195.)The Illuminati believed they could control society by using women to emasculate men. This they called "the emancipation of women."
"The change would complete the just emancipation of women, thus rendered independent of men, even physically. it would no longer be possible to contest the full ascendancy of the affective sex over children which were its offspring exclusively." ( Vol. IV, P. 244)
Mankind would be members of one great family as "the offspring of a spouse-less mother." (Vol. IV, P. 359)
THE WORSHIP OF WOMAN
The first step in the "worship of humanity" (Humanism) was to make women goddesses.
By substituting goddesses for gods, we sanction the legitimate
preeminence of women.... In a word, the new doctrine will
institute the worship of Woman, publicly and privately, in a far more
perfect way than has ever before been possible. It is the first
permanent step towards the worship of Humanity. (Vol. 4, 446; Vol. I, P. 205.)While Comte himself was supposedly not a Freemason, he certainly was an admirer. According to one source, "Comte looked to Benjamin Franklin as inspiration for his own notion of a "religion of humanity" and referred to him as a "modern Socrates."
Aside from springing from a similar ideology as Freemasonry, [Comte's philosophy] positivism played a particularly strong role in French Freemasonry in the nineteenth century. Part of the reason for this partnership was positivism's own political undertones of resistance against authoritarian means of knowledge, most notably from the Church. "
CONCLUSION
With the "Enlightenment," the Illuminati embarked on a multi-generational project to wrest humanity from its natural and spiritual moorings, and re-engineer it into a large penal colony that serves their interests.
For religion, which seeks to obey the Creator's Design, the llluminists substituted the religion of man or Humanism.
(Women empower men by obeying them. Apart from 10-20% of talented women, the other 80% shine brightest as wives and mothers.)Any substitute for God is satanic. As you can see, mankind is very deeply immersed in the occult. Auguste Comte is proof that modern social trends -- the idealization of women, the destruction of marriage and family -- are satanic in origin. Humanity indeed is satanically possessed.

God said that the woman is subject to the man.
So...the Devil reverses it, using his useful-idiot minions, the kabbalists. Same with everything else in Scripture.
(Good luck feeling like "a Godess", girls: it disappears once the wrinkles and the jowls arrive. )

this subject of the female is very deep. it is all about Ishtar the female goddess of sex and fertility. she made her great debut june 27th at the stonewall gay bar in new york in 1969. there were riots, perversion, violence, cross-dressers, etc. the police could not even handle it. people threw bricks and anything. this sparked a world gay movement that has come to the movement we see today with june being gay pride month. very heavy demon possession. the ancient god/demons have returned to a world that has tossed God out.

We do not have the bodies of apes. We were made in GOD'S OWN IMAGE! The Godhead said, "Let US make man in OUR OWN IMAGE!" and THEY DID!
And when They get through with us, after redeeming and saving us from perdition--or the celestial garbage dump--and bestowing on us their own Blessed Holy Spirit, we will all be just like Jesus on the inside, because the purpose of our salvation is to REFLECT HIS IMAGE!
He is the firstborn among many brethren, and God will have restored HIS IMAGE IN MAN, that which was lost in the Fall.....
That's just the way the Godhead wanted to do it, and why it has all happened the way it has! In this process, mankind was redeemed from the fall, and IT'S ALL GONNA BE GRAND AND GLORIOUS AGAIN, in a brand new heaven and a brand new earth!
Wait for it!
It won't be long!

Perhaps the words, “wanted to perfect society”, or, there is a need to repair the world (Tikkun olam) or, to build a better Man (freemasonary) are give-aways for the rest of us to be on alert. It appears these people use demonology and sorcery (curses and witchcraft) to achieve their ends. Perhaps a need for them to learn first about the trickster would be in order. Why evoke him…he comes on his own to destroy? These people are deluded and their big talk, the idea of making a better man/world, is just a poor cover over their own greed and mischief. “Rules are for thee, not for me” is more their end game.

My reply, as a 78 year "young" man, having a great deal of experience with many women, has August Comte done a massive survey asking women how they feel about not having Men around, and more than just as company? Is he suggesting Women do not enjoy sex with Men? Is he arguing from the point of view of a HETEROSEXUAL man who was a failure or success with women?
Has he considered WHY the UNIVERSE "decided" on 2 sexes, not just one, in MOST biological species?
Further regarding his THEORY, and yes it is just a Theory, can he provide his TOTAL REASONINGS and ESPECIALLY, sufficient EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE to prove a society of only Women "procreating" without Men would be successful...........Such as, but not limited to, what would he suggest for the male children being Born.
I suspect but will not, as a RATIONAL being, PRESUME to KNOW his answers :-)
Glen said (December 12, 2018):
I think the plot to "idolize women" is more than that. I believe it is more about the Satanic worship of the male/female, or dual sex being known as Androgyny: Androgyny– A combination of male and female characteristics. In biology, androgynous refers to having both female and male characteristics; hermaphroditic. Or, being neither distinguishably masculine nor feminine, as in dress, appearance, or behavior. The word became nominalized (that is, made the transition from an adjective to a noun) in the mid-nineteenth century. In psychological terms, a mixed personality style in which an individual displays psychological characteristics typically assigned to men and women, as opposed to one or the other (for example, nurturing and aggressive).
Are many of the women in high places really trans gender's? Are the powers that be shoving their hermaphrodite worship down our throats? According to occultists, only gender-neutrals can rise to godhood. The fallen angels they worship are seen as androgynous, and this is driving the modern transgender program. I hope you will pass this video along as I feel it makes quite clear for the elite, it is all about the Satanic worship of the hermaphrodite.

Auguste Comte had a truly gigantic influence on philosophy. His personal life was a mess, as was that of Karl Marx, Rousseau, Nietzsche, and many other important cultural figures. As for the issue of whether he was a Mason or Illuminist, there is, IMHO, another way of looking at the situation. The so-called Illuminati may not be particularly creative. Marx lived in terrible poverty, resulting in the deaths of some of his children. He was apparently not lavishly subsidized. One may rather think of the Illuminati as latching onto ideas that serve their purposes and promoting them. They do not have to reward the creators of those ideas.

Good discussion of the tragedy of "Goddess" status:
https://thegoddessprinciples.net/2018/04/09/the-price-of-being-a-goddess/
Encouraging women to want to be "a Goddess" is cruel.
A Goddess is not vulnerable, and thus cannot expereince true intimacy: she cannot be loved.
