We Are Not the Same: Musings on “The Great Feminization” of Culture (Part 1 of 2)

Imagine a woman critiquing women who believe women can do everything men can do?

Now imagine a woman asserting that women shouldn’t be in every courtroom, graduate seminar, and boxing ring alongside men?

Now imagine a woman arguing that wokeness and cancel culture are the result of the feminization of institutions.

Now stop imagining. There is such a woman, and her name is Helen Andrews. And boy oh boy is she swinging the gauntlet. Boldly.

Connecting some dots between group dynamics, statistics, and institutional shift, Andrews has quite a few things to say that will make some uncomfortable.

Stop saying males and females are the same. Because they’re not.

Stop believing they can do everything the same. Because they can’t.

Men: stop abdicating.

Let meritocracy rule the day.

Stop allowing Human Resource policies to run our schools and inform our parenting practices.

In all things: stop tipping the scale.

This episode is the first installment of Pastor Nate, Pastor Peter, and Pastor Kyle’s engagement with Andrews’ thesis and its relevance for the Church.

Is it true that a “Great Feminization” of culture has occurred? From whence did it derive? How should we as Christians think about it? What should the Church do?
