The Givenness and Goodness of Women’s Glory

Modern gender theories promised to promote women but instead reduced them and now attempt to erase them.  

Written by John Stonestreet and Timothy D. Padgett | Friday, September 26, 2025

In the end, all atheistic philosophies promise the perfectibility of humanity because they reject the good of our createdness….the only vision of reality big enough to describe reality is the Christian vision. The dignity of women rests in the glory that God gave them in creation, when He made them in His image.

 

According to their Instagram account, the Women’s March U.K. will now be called “Intersectional Uprising.” The biggest irony in this rebrand that erases women is that on their website, the statement “End the war on women” was right next to the alert that the Women’s March is no longer just for women.

In the new film Truth Rising, Seth Dillon of The Babylon Bee remarked that some headlines read like comedy. This would be one of them, if the stakes were not so high. In our cultural moment, a women’s rights movement that erases women is the inevitable consequence of ideas.

In 2020, Joseph Backholm asked protesters at the Women’s March in Washington D.C., “What is a woman?”  The responses were beyond parody. Some were angered at the question. Others looked around worried that someone might hear their answer and not be pleased. Others regurgitated the incredibly dangerous non-answer, “Whoever identifies as a woman.” A few weeks later, teenagers at the annual pro-life March for Life had far less trouble giving a clear response.

Of course, everyone knows, to some extent or another, what a woman is, including Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson. So, advocates of radical gender theory could only shame people who said out loud what we all know to be true, with feigned outrage that anyone would ask such a bigoted question. And so, the movement that began to protect women instead erases them.

The early feminists, like Susan B. Anthony, fought to ensure the rights and protection of women as women. At some point during feminism’s second wave, when the movement was hijacked by the sexual revolution, the movement became more about making women another kind of man. This was especially true of the movement’s focus on abortion rights. As Alexandra DeSanctis put it:
