As of February 3, the store hasn\u2019t received any further explanation from Facebook, the store told the Fix.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cInstagram removed the product link we added over a year ago,\u201d Guadalupe Gifts <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/guadalupegifts\/posts\/801905870365377\">wrote<\/a> on Facebook on January 24.&nbsp;The store included a screenshot of the message it received when the post was removed, which read: \u201cYour product tag isn\u2019t visible to others because the product doesn\u2019t follow our policies about what can be sold on Instagram.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gress explained to the Fix what her book is about:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>\u201cThe first half of the book is the ideological blueprint for radical feminism that we see in the culture today and also in the LGBT movement that has followed in the heels of feminism,\u201d Gress said. \u201cThe second half, is really the remedy of how Christianity and specifically Our Lady, have been the key to understanding womanhood.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cBut it is truly the first half, that is written in clear jargon free language that exposes the Marxism and the occult elements at the foundation of feminism that has to be what is driving any kind of a ban,\u201d Gress told&nbsp;The Fix.&nbsp;Appropriately for the censorship she is facing, the book \u201calso explains how elite women silence any voice not in accord with theirs, so no surprise that my book is being censored.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Gress told the outlet she was also facing censorship on Amazon, which was cancelling orders and making the book difficult to buy. It was removed from Amazon\u2019s main platform and made only available through third-party sellers, but it reversed this course on January 27. The book became out of stock that same day but apparently replenished the next day, only to become out of stock again.<\/p>\n<p>Like most attempts at censoring books, the results have benefitted the author. TAN Books announced on January 26 that it had sold out of Gress\u2019 book.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDue to the overwhelming support of @carrie.gress\u2019s The Anti-Mary, we have sold out of copies! Thank you for showing tremendous support for this excellent book,\u201d TAN Books said on Instagram.<\/p>\n<p>TAN told the Fix it had \u201crecently sold at least 800 copies of Gress\u2019 book,\u201d the outlet reported.<\/p>\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/target-removes-book-critical-of-trans-agenda-after-customer-complains-online-book-shoots-to-top-100-on-amazon\">similar situation<\/a> occurred when a random Twitter user complained that Target was selling a book by Abigail Shrier called \u201cIrreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters.\u201d Target initially said it would pull the book from shelves, but then relented to additional pressure and returned the book. The resulting attention increased sales of Schrier\u2019s book.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
