I'm a mother of five. No one fights like moms to protect their children

I heard a conference speaker mention "radicalized moms," meaning moms fed up with the ideologies that are tearing apart our country. It was a new term for me, but not a new reality.

Dr. Carrie Gress is the author of the book: "The End of Woman: How Smashing the Patriarchy Has Destroyed Us" (Aug. 15, 2023). She is a fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center and the founder and co-editor of the online women’s magazine Theology of Home.

At a large conference I spoke at last spring, another speaker mentioned "radicalized moms," meaning moms fed up with the ideologies that are tearing apart our country. It was a new term for me, but not a new reality. 

I was "radicalized" before the trappings of COVID called out many others, but the fierceness felt by so many mothers like me is the same. Moms all over America have had it with what is happening to our country. Don’t make us pull over.
