Toxic, Christian patriarchy is making a comeback with younger millennials and Gen Z. Scroll through Christian Twitter, and you’ll find men and women ideologically and radically committed to traditional gender roles, lamenting the sins of yoga pants, makeupless wives, and feminized masculinity. The men extol the virtues of virility, headship, and physical labor, admonishing women to become quiet, submissive homemakers.
This leads me to Turning Point USA’s recent Young Women’s Leadership Conference. An audience member asked TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk how she could balance her career ambitions with those of motherhood. Quick to crush her dreams, Kirk told her she’d have to choose, and if she wanted happiness, a career wasn’t the answer.She tells him she's a student who dreams of being a surgeon and isn't interested in marriage.
But we’re at risk of recreating a world that’s not good for women — again — with this kind of rhetoric. It’s only been 100 years since women gained the right to vote. There are literally women still alive who were born before the 19th Amendment passed. At one point in the last century, we had “beach police” walking around measuring women’s swimsuits. Just 20 years ago , Christian girls were told their bodies and clothing could “cause a man to stumble” as if just existing were a sin.
But that’s not everyone, and when we tell women there are no in-between options, we suffocate them. Kirk and others like him are overcorrecting here, stuffing women back into the archaic boxes that led them to embrace the sexual revolution and all that came with it in the first place.
