Dismantling Reality: Why Academia Wants You to Believe Pheromones Don’t Exist
How pheromone denial serves a radical agenda.
Science to Subversion: A case for how Critical Theory serves as an on-ramp to hijacking and hacking human attraction
Human attraction is not a social construct alone—it is deeply rooted in biology, created by God for the purpose of marriage, family, and the continuation of humanity.
Those who dismiss human pheromones are not acting purely as scientists but as ideologues, seeking to reshape society according to their own doctrines rather than following the evidence where it leads.
Recently, a close friend's son approached me about one of his freshman year classes, where he is being taught that "there is no such thing as pheromones in men and women." This claim immediately stood out as a clear application of critical theory—a deconstructionist framework that has infiltrated colleges and universities, applying ideological filters over all subjects. This method is not about genuine inquiry but about dismantling established knowledge, particularly in areas where science aligns with biblical reality.
Critical Theory has infiltrated schools and institutions, serving as the root cause of a dangerous ideological shift that seeks to upend established knowledge and objective truth. By denying the natural distinctions between men and women, this radical framework replaces biological attraction with socially constructed, fluid identities, undermining the biblical foundation of marriage. If men and women are not naturally designed for each other, then God-ordained unions lose meaning, paving the way for artificial, state-controlled relationships. This dehumanizes attraction, reducing it to a malleable social construct that can be redefined at will, directly opposing Genesis 2:24. By stripping away pheromones and biological attraction, they attempt to erase the divine institution of marriage, replacing it with a flexible, state-managed contract. This attack on reality is not accidental—it is a calculated move to dismantle traditional values, normalize artificial relationships, and promote transhumanism and state-controlled reproduction. Ultimately, this agenda seeks to destroy objective truth and pave the way for the Great Reset, where centralized power dictates every aspect of human identity, relationships, and existence itself.
Key Takeaways in this article
The denial of human pheromones is just one example of how academia seeks to undermine biological facts in favor of an ideological agenda that attempts to reshape our understanding of human nature, attraction, and the divine design for relationships.
The rejection of human pheromones aligns with a broader ideological effort to deconstruct human biological realities, particularly in relation to attraction, gender differences, and natural family structures.
Dismissing pheromones as a myth is not based on pure scientific reasoning but is often influenced by ideological agendas aimed at destabilizing understandings of human relationships.
Critical Theory’s Rejection of Pheromones
Social Constructivist Critique of Biological Determinism Critical theorists, particularly in gender studies and post-structuralism, argue that the idea of pheromones as a determinant of attraction reinforces biological essentialism—the belief that human behaviors, including romantic attraction, are rooted in fixed biological traits. They assert that attraction is largely socially and culturally mediated, shaped by discourse, norms, and power structures rather than biological imperatives.
Questioning the Scientific Validity of Pheromones in Humans While pheromones are well-documented in many animals, their role in human sexual attraction remains debated. Critical theorists argue that belief in human pheromones is shaped by a Western, heteronormative, and evolutionary psychological framework that assumes men and women are biologically predisposed to certain attractions.
Critique of Heteronormativity and the Gender Binary The assumption that men and women are naturally attracted to one another via biochemical signals is criticized as reinforcing binary gender constructs. Critical theorists argue that this claim ignores non-heterosexual and non-binary identities, as well as the fluidity of attraction across different historical and cultural contexts.
Foucaultian Analysis: Power and Scientific Discourse A Foucaultian perspective would argue that the concept of pheromones is not a neutral scientific fact but a discursive construct—a way of maintaining normative ideas about gender and sexuality. The idea of chemical attraction serves to naturalize and legitimize traditional gender roles, subtly reinforcing patriarchal power structures.
Marxist Critique: Commodification of Attraction From a Marxist-feminist angle, the notion of pheromones could be seen as part of the commodification of sexuality. The fragrance and dating industries often market products claiming to enhance "natural" attraction, feeding into capitalist consumption patterns that profit from the belief in biological determinism.
From a critical theory standpoint, the claim that pheromones drive attraction would be dismissed as a myth constructed through scientific discourse, capitalist interests, and patriarchal gender norms. Attraction, they would argue, is not an automatic biological response but a socially and culturally encoded experience shaped by history, media, and ideological power structures.
The Scientific and Biblical Reality of Pheromones
The assertion that "there is no such thing as pheromones in men and women" is both antithetical to God’s truth and opposed to actual science, and it serves as part of a Marxist agenda to deconstruct reality—particularly God’s design for marriage and human relationships.
Biblical Truth: God’s Design for Attraction and Marriage
From a biblical worldview, human attraction and marriage are part of God’s divine order. Genesis 1:27-28 states:
"So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. And God blessed them, and God said to them, ‘Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it.’"
This verse establishes two key principles:
-Gender distinction (male and female) is real, created by God.
-Sexual attraction and reproduction are intrinsic to God’s design for humanity.
Denying biological mechanisms such as pheromones that influence attraction is an attack on God’s created order. It is an attempt to detach human relationships from divine purpose and to redefine human nature in ways that suit ideological objectives rather than truth.
Scientific Evidence for Human Pheromones
While the full extent of pheromones in human behavior is still being studied, their existence is well-supported in the animal kingdom and by growing human research. Pheromones are chemical signals that influence behavior, including attraction and bonding which aligns with God’s design for human relationships, marriage, and procreation.
Studies have shown that pheromones affect mood, hormone levels, and subconscious mate preferences. Infant bonding and mother-child recognition are influenced by scent-based biochemical signals. Menstrual synchrony among women who live together suggests biochemical signaling influences human interactions.
Thus, dismissing pheromones as a myth is not based on science but rather on an ideological agenda.
The Marxist Agenda to Deconstruct Reality and Marriage
Denying pheromones is not just an academic exercise—it is part of a broader Marxist, postmodernist, and globalist effort to deconstruct reality, specifically in ways that undermine traditional families and biblical marriage.
Marxism Seeks to Abolish the Natural Family
Marxism has always targeted the nuclear family as an obstacle to revolution. Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels openly advocated for the destruction of the traditional family, seeing it as a bourgeois institution that must be dismantled to create a new collectivist social order.
Engels in The Origin of the Family, Private Property, and the State argued that the nuclear family was a tool of capitalist oppression and should be abolished.
The Frankfurt School (cultural / Western Marxism) sought to break down family structures through sexual liberation, feminist ideology, and psychological manipulation.
Modern leftist movements (such as gender theory and critical theory) continue this project by denying natural distinctions between men and women and replacing them with socially constructed, fluid identities.
Destroying Attraction as a Natural and God-Ordained Reality
If men and women are not biologically attracted to each other, then the idea that God created male and female for marriage becomes meaningless.
By denying biological attraction:
-They weaken the idea that men and women are naturally designed for each other.
-They pave the way for artificial, state-controlled relationships instead of biblically ordained unions.
-They dehumanize attraction, making it merely a social construct that can be redefined at will.
This is a direct attack on Genesis 2:24:
"Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh."
By removing pheromones and biological attraction from the equation, they attempt to reduce God-given marriage to a purely social contract, easily altered or abolished. Biblically, God created men and women with natural attraction to fulfill His design for marriage and family.
The Agenda: Normalizing the Artificial and Unnatural
If attraction is merely a cultural construct rather than a biological and divine truth, then:
-Any form of relationship can be considered legitimate including those that contradict biblical morality.
-The natural order of male-female marriage loses its privileged status.
-Artificial means of reproduction (such as surrogacy and state-controlled birth programs) become preferable to natural procreation.
-The push for transhumanism, artificial wombs, and state-controlled child-rearing follows naturally from denying the God-given biological basis of attraction and family.
The War Against Reality and God’s Order
Scientifically, evidence for pheromones exists and aligns with observable reality.
Ideologically, the denial of pheromones serves a Marxist agenda to dissolve objective biological differences.
Denying pheromones is not just a scientific dispute it is a front in the broader war against biblical truth and natural order. It aligns with Marxist and postmodernist attempts to deconstruct male and female identities, dismantle the traditional family, and redefine human nature itself.
From an anthropological and critical theory perspective, the assertion that "there is no such thing as pheromones in men and women”, would be framed as a deconstruction of biological essentialism and a rejection of heteronormative assumptions about human attraction.
There is no legitimate scientific basis to argue that "there is no such thing as pheromones in men and women." The critical theory perspective on this matter is rooted in ideological subversion rather than empirical evidence, and it should not be relied upon when assessing biological reality.
By recognizing and resisting this deception, Christians can defend both truth and God’s natural order, refusing to let lies rewrite the fundamental realities of human life. Biological differences are real, attraction is not just a cultural construct, and God’s design for marriage is purposeful and good.
In light of these points, I strongly encourage exploring Jennifer Bilek’s work, which masterfully exposes the hidden agenda behind the deconstruction of biological sex. Her research unveils the powerful forces driving this ideological shift, revealing the deeper motives behind the assault on sexed reality.
