We live in a time of great cultural blessing, by which I mean that God is no longer permitting us to talk nonsense, at least not without that fact becoming manifest to all and sundry. Secular man is just standing there, shivering in his skivvies, listening to the imperious demands of Muslim clerics on the …
You New Around Here?
We have some truly encouraging news from Alabama on the same sex mirage front, but before getting to a defense of all that, I would like to dispatch the developing meme that this is just the desegregation battle all over again. Here’s a quick rundown of what happened. A federal judge struck down Alabama’s same …
Enlightening the Silly Women
The path of feminism has been a straight one, like the flight of an arrow. It has gone straight from women’s liberation to handcuffs by the bed. You’ve come a long way, baby. Those whose ideas about individual sexual liberty are formed best while galloping with the herd are in for a real treat this …
50 Shades of Prey
Since our liberated era is busy gearing up for the Valentine’s Day release (!) of 50 Shades, a celebration of misogyny by people who think they know better, I thought I should repost a couple of links. One is to my HuffPo piece on this whole travesty called 50 Shades of Prey. The other is …
The Politics of Sodomy II: Not Whether, But Which
Introduction: In many respects, we are like a man who lives in a house that is increasingly cluttered and trashed. When the day finally arrives when it becomes obvious that he must do something, it is equally obvious at the same time, that he has no idea what to do, or where to start. He …
Feminist Rape Constructs
Let us first review the facts. Mount Holyoke College is an all-women’s college that recently began admitting male students who self-identify as female. And then, in a spasm of self-righteousness, there was a successful student-led effort to get a college performance of The Vagina Monologues cancelled because that play was insufficiently sensitive to those women …
Different Kinds of Flies
I recently wrote a piece on marriage and sexuality that included this: “12. What is the most important word in the marriage vows? In our time, because of the peculiar form our disobedience has taken, the most important word is obey. And it is the most important word whether or not it is included in …
A Chiastic Catechism on Biblical Sexuality
NB: This is a little something written for a forthcoming book from Canon called How to Exasperate Your Wife. Here are 25 questions, along with some suggested answers. 1. What is the first challenge of biblical masculinity? To have enough of it to be willing to articulate what it is in public. 2. Is not …
Baby Oil on the Bowling Ball
If I may, I would like to ask your permission to go up the stairs three at a time here. Great. Glad that’s all set. What I mean by that is that I want to assert a number of things together in order to indicate a pattern. The argument for some of these things has …
Sexual Smithereens
In a remarkably prescient joke, Bob Hope said this back in the seventies. “I’ve just flown in from California, where they’ve made homosexuality legal. I thought I’d get out before they make it compulsory.” As we look at what remains of sexual ethics in America — the old sexual norms that somebody took a weed …
