The Ground Erodes under Feminists’ Feet

And evangelical feminism will face the same crisis.

Written by C.R. Wiley | Tuesday, March 21, 2023

Some evangelicals made their own deal with the devil, downgrading the meaning and significance of the sexes to accommodate the spirit of the age…They once believed that men were men and women were women. And that was because they could still feel the foundations of a Christian culture beneath their feet. But, no more.

The tribulations of J. K. Rowling on Twitter show us how quickly fortunes can change for the worse in today’s woke climate. At least in antiquity, the fall of the great could be blamed on fortune. Today we can only blame ourselves for not getting with the inevitable progress of history. In much of the ancient world, things just happened. Today if you’re not on the right side of history, you’re stupid or immoral—probably both.Rowling appeared to be standing on solid ground when the earth opened up and swallowed her. Seemingly she’d squared the circle of women’s rights and the sexual revolution, even proving herself hip to alphabet-soup identity politics when she famously outed one of her fictional characters as gay when the Harry Potter saga was complete.

Nevertheless, even after the films and a theme park based on her stories, she’s now persona non grata in Hollywood and New York. This is because she committed an unpardonable sin. She insisted that sex is real and that men are men and women are women, no matter what they cut off or sew on.

Looking closely, we can see that the ground beneath her feet had been eroding for some time. And the reason is you simply cannot insist that the differences between men and women are both real and unreal at the same time.
