“When these passages are considered together [Is. 19:16-17; Jer. 50:36-37; 51:29-30; Nah. 3:13], we should conclude that a standard way for the prophets of God to tell a people that their military might has failed them is to say that their warriors have come to the point where they fight like women. A legitimate conclusion …
Women and Hierarchy
“In the hierarchical and biblical view, the relationship of women to men is first familial, and then as a consequence, a larger (and very complex) cultural and societal relationship between the sexes emerges. This means that wives are to submit to, and provide help to, their own husbands (and no one else). As a result …
Uppity Calvinist Women
Visionaries, In his great book Orthodoxy, Chesterton once said, “This began to be alarming. It looked not so much as if Christianity was bad enough to include any vices, but rather as if any stick was good enough to beat Christianity with.” The aptness of this observation is seen in the following missive from Angie: …
Feminism Rips Off Women
“The cultural discipline of honoring women is very important. It is no accident that feminists have succeeded in getting women treated ‘equally’ with men, and now that women are no longer singled out for honor, that the men around them just go with their lusts. The results have not been at all favorable for women. …
Relativism and the Mistreatment of Women
Dear visionaries, Susannah’s questions presuppose a foundational solidarity and allegiance between all men, based on gender alone, and a solidarity of all women, based on gender alone. But there are other factors affecting what she lists, things like suspect statistics, Hinduism, famine, wars, etc. But when it comes to those things that really are done …
Outlawing Good Men
“A return to sanity will be a return to an unapologetic acceptance of the fact that men are of necessity going to be dominant. They only choice we have as a society is between whether the dominance is going to be constructive or destructive. Because the poobahs in charge have spent the last generation or so outlawing every form of constructive male dominance they can identify, we are now discovering that—far from empowering women—they have actually empowered destructive male dominance. Put another way, when constructive male dominance is outlawed, only outlaws will have male dominance.”

Men Guarding Against Men
“Women really do need to be protected and guarded from men. They need this because there really is a thing called toxic masculinity. But the only ones who are capable of protecting women from men are the men. The only thing capable of protecting women from toxic masculinity is masculinity.”
Virgins and Volcanoes, p. 72
The Real Toxicity
“When you are trying to describe bio-males competing against women in women’s sports, that elusive phrase you are looking for is #ToxicMasculinity.”

Letters to Make Us Pause and Reflect
Letter to the Editor: Red Dress ReductivismThat was funny, cheeky, and entirely appropriate. It would be interesting to learn whether those two women were also wearing blue stockings… ...
Put On Your Red Dress, Baby
This last Lord’s Day, I had the very great privilege of preaching at our Christ Church DC church plant. The folks there are wonderful, hard working, and highly organized. This promises to be a very fruitful work indeed. This venture was plainly prompted by the Lord, and was clearly an answer to the prayers of …
