The sexual revolution initiated the deconstruction of traditional male and female roles and communicated that women weren’t truly equal unless they were working full-time and unshackled by the burden of pregnancy. Our culture, which views “inequality” as the greatest evil, took those concepts and ran headlong toward diminishing any difference between men and women.
The gender ideology movement has brought those ideas to their logical conclusion: since there are no real distinctions between the sexes, a woman can “become” a man and vice versa. Especially when it comes to family life, we have sold the falsehood that men are optional, and we sealed that deal by legally redefining marriage as a genderless institution. All of this rubbish has sent men a powerful message: there is nothing unique about manhood and no place where men, and only men, are needed.
Unfortunately, marginalizing a man’s role in the home has had dire consequences for society. The Fatherless Generation summarizes: 63 percent of youth suicides, 90 percent of all homeless and runaway children, 85 percent of all children who show behavior disorders, 80 percent of rapists with anger problems, 71 percent of all high school dropouts, and 85 percent of all youths in prison come from fatherless homes. Fatherless children are four times more likely to live in poverty.
Our culture told men that they were unnecessary. To our detriment, men believed us. The sexual revolution was also the impetus for several denominations to begin ordaining women. Today, many liberal mainline Protestant churches are—quite literally—dying to prove how compatible Christianity is to the new definition of “equality.” They insist that only gifting and knowledge, not biological sex, matters for leadership.
