The Church Impotent: A history of the feminization of the Church
(And the curious case of Eastern and Jewish Orthodoxy, which remain high male participation and celebrate patriarchy)

The clergy have long had the reputation of not being very mascu-line. The mainline, liberal Protestant minister in the early twentieth century had a reputation for being soft and working best with wom-en. This reputation provided fuel for fundamentalists, who denounced liberals as “little infidel preacherettes”6 in sermons with such titles as “She-Men, or How to Become Sissies.”7 But all clergy were open to at-tack, all had to face the “popular stereotype that men of the cloth4
Armies of Womenwere neither male nor female.”8 The clergy were seen as exempt from mas-culine trials and agonies; they were part of the safe world of women. As one layman put it, “life is a football game, with the men fighting it out on the grid-iron, while the minister is up in the grandstand, explaining it to the ladies.”9In nineteenth-century New England, ministers of the most im-portant churches were “hesitant promulgators of female virtues in an era of militant masculinity.”10 But the dominant churches of nineteenth-century New England had long been feminized. Not only was the pro-portion of women in the churches extremely high, both the milieu and the ministers of the church were far more feminine than masculine. Businessmen disdained the clergy as “people halfway between men and women.”11 Ministers found the most congenial environment, not in businesses, political clubs, or saloons, but “in the Sunday school, the parlor, the library, among women and those who flattered and resembled them.”12 Moreover, they were typically recruited from the ranks of weak, sickly boys with indoor tastes who stayed at home with their mothers and came to identify with the feminine world of religion. The popular mind often joined “the idea of ill health with the clerical image.”13 In the vision of Unitarian minister Charles Fenton (1796-1842), playing Sunday school children have replaced stern Pilgrim Fathers and “adult politics have succumbed to infantile piety, Ecclesia to a nursery. Mascu-linity is vanquished in the congregation and, even more significantly, in the pulpit.”1

Perhaps you’ve heard: the American birth rate has cratered below replacement in the last decade, alongside many countries in East Asia and Europe. American women are bearing an average of 1.7 children, compared with the replacement rate of 2.1, and, crucially, the desired fertility rate of around 2.5. American women are marrying later, delaying childbearing and sometimes forgoing it altogether, not always by their own design.

... women, supposedly freed by feminism to follow their bliss, still aren’t getting what they want from their lives.

Feminism is war on motherhood.

Now they are just harassing the privileged kids.

The militant feminists I met in San Francisco were sad creatures who had lost their opportunity for happiness by following the advice of the militant feminists before them. They were invariably childless and depressed by the age of 40. They drink a lot, sleep around (no challenge for a woman), and still wonder why no man is willing to invest decades of his life in them.

If you haven't been paying attention, women have just become really important to progressives again. The same voices who were just yesterday bellowing on about sex being fluid and gender being a social construct are now climbing the nearest high horse to testify to the uniqueness of femininity and the power of the uterus.

Why the whiplash-inducing change of direction, you ask? Because the state of Texas just made it illegal to kill human offspring in the womb of a woman. And suddenly, the same people who have been using the highest positions in government to dutifully erase their own gender are now playing the part of Gloria Steinem

First, we’ll need to push back hard against climate alarmism. Paul Ehrlich’s 1968 book The Population Bomb had an immediate and devastating effect on American birthrates. The equivalent pro-natalist book has yet to be written (or, if it has been written, has yet to be popularized). That book will need to make plain the horrors of a childless world and convince vast swaths of Americans that we give up far more than we gain when we choose not to have children.

We’ll also need to craft a sexual education curriculum and cultural discourse that doesn’t leave young women with the overwhelming impression that babies are bloodsucking parasites bent on destroying their bodies and careers. Young motherhood should be presented as a viable, even a desirable, option. ... Instead, women are encouraged to develop a relationship to their own fertility that is self-loathing and pharma-technologically mediated rather than empowered and organic.

As a reproductive endocrinologist recently observed in a letter to the editor of the New York Times, ‘Family planning, to the limited extent it is taught in our schools, focuses entirely on the prevention of undesired pregnancy. Ironically, no attention is given to the limits of human fertility and the question of how to conceive when a pregnancy is desired.’

Encouraging marriage is another important step toward increased fertility. Indeed, one scholar claims that the decline in birthrate is the direct result of the decline in marriage. Sure, unmarried people have children, but they do so at a lower rate, and out-of-wedlock births bring with them a host of accompanying social ills.

Feminism is war on motherhood.

Feminism has failed us
Has demonstrating our alleged progress replaced progress itself?

October 18, 2021

I’ve lost count of how many seminars I’ve had to sit through on Diversity & Inclusion, how many times I’ve been asked for my preferred pronouns and expected to discuss what I think ‘bringing my whole self to work’ really means. Conservatives mock these practices and complain that our lives seem to be dictated by a new moral order to which we did not consent. But we’re missing the forest for the trees. The problem with virtue signaling goes far beyond its annoying and unwelcome intrusions into our lives. We have been utterly hoodwinked. ...

We’re in the umpteenth wave of feminism, and yet the tangible gains made by everyone except the early pioneers are negligible. Sure, if you’re a New York City broker and you’re showing an apartment, you can’t call that comfortable room with the TV and the couch and the bookshelves the ‘family room’ — because that would be so discriminatory that buyers without families might just self-immolate all over the parquet. ...

But do we ever stop to ask whether demonstrating our alleged progress has replaced progress itself?

I’m thinking back to my time working for a company specifically known for its family-friendly vibe. Despite that facade, I was paid not a single cent during my maternity leave. ...

Our corporations take the easy path, and we let them. Nay, we encourage it. They make statements, mandate trainings and shout from the rooftops ‘We are progressive. We are woke. Forgive us, even if we have not actually sinned.’

Hypocrisy is nothing new. The media mammoth covered #MeToo with a vengeance, only to shrug when it turned out that similar misdeeds were happening in its own ranks. The senators and activists who said ‘Believe all women’ turned out not to believe us, if it meant rankling prominent members of their party. But our willingness to believe in a progress that doesn’t exist — that’s new. And it’s pathetic. ...

Progressives have spent so much time fighting battles that don’t actually need to be won that it seems that all of us have forgotten we still haven’t won the battles we very much do need to win. If I read another article advocating for free bleeding, a disgusting practice in which women, in some perverse political statement, do not wear any kind of tampon or pad and instead allow their periods to flow, unimpeded, my brains will explode through my ears, also unimpeded.

The same is true for the left’s — and increasingly, the scientific community’s — newfound obsession with saying ‘pregnant people’ and ‘lactating people’ instead of ‘women’. I understand that there is a tiny segment of the transgender population that probably appreciates this verbiage, but meanwhile plenty of workplaces in this country still don’t have lactation rooms, and still find ways to get out of paying maternity leave. Women are letting ourselves, our employers and our generation off the hook on some important issues because we’re forced to pay lip service to imaginary ones.

Thing is, I'm not sure what battles she thinks feminism still needs to win now that women are legally superior to men.

Controversial but likely accurate theory: all of this coincides with women having far more influence over our institutions including the media. Thus more of an “empathetic” angle on the news.

The realization of this truth by men is perhaps the most important force in American politics. This is why https://heartiste.org/ was censored by Wordpress.

Once men see that they're being exploited and humiliated by such women, and by militant feminists in particular, they leave the left, never to return.

Masculinity Is Being Attacked
Men are being told that masculinity is unacceptable, and it’s creating a generation of idle, absent, unmanly men.

Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri is on a crusade to call men out of their stasis and back to their true selves. In a speech made at the National Conservatism Conference in Orlando, Hawley said: “The Left want to define traditional masculinity as toxic. They want to define the traditional masculine virtues — things like courage and independence and assertiveness — as a danger to society.” There is a disdain for virtues in our society because there is a disdain for faith and traditional values. America has an identity crisis and it hurts men. Insisting that manliness is naturally a bad thing that’s to be rejected gives men no motivation to participate in the aspects of society that need their skills the most. Women need strong, masculine men, and so does society.

Men of this generation have been shamed into a more compliant and feminine shadow of who they could be. Senator Hawley rhetorically asked, “Can we be surprised that after years of being told they are the problem, that their manhood is the problem, more and more men are withdrawing into the enclave of idleness and pornography and video games?” This lack of accountability and retreating into fantasy is a problem for men of all races and creeds, creating absentee fathers and poor providers.

But it’s not all men’s fault. On the one hand, they have the political socialists telling them that work is no longer a noble or worthy activity. For example, Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wants a system that provides “economic security to all those who are unable or unwilling to work” [emphasis added]. Then they have the feminists insisting that men are the oppressors of women. Feminists would probably prefer a women-dominate culture à la the Amazons of Greek mythology where the gender roles are completely reversed. They forget that even in that myth, Hippolyte, Queen of the Amazons, was more attracted to masculine Hercules than the wimpy she-men of the Amazon tribe.

It’s not just the socialists and the feminists who are degrading masculinity. The American Psychological Association (APA) has even lent its platform to the dismantling of it. It attributes certain downward trends to “traditional masculinity”: “Men commit 90 percent of homicides in the United States and represent 77 percent of homicide victims. They’re the demographic group most at risk of being victimized by violent crime. They are 3.5 times more likely than women to die by suicide, and their life expectancy is 4.9 years shorter than women’s. Boys are far more likely to be diagnosed with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder than girls, and they face harsher punishments in school — especially boys of color.”

Notice that all the blame for the negative behaviors of men is placed at the doorstep of traditional masculinity or “toxic masculinity.” But the APA forgot to recon with biology. Even scientists can figure out a way to put men down.

A study conducted by the University of Cambridge details the fact that men are naturally more systematic and logical, whereas women are empathetic. The study tested over half a million people, so the results were thorough. While it does definitively state that men and women are different psychologically, it also labels men’s tendency toward logic as an autistic trait. There is nothing wrong with being autistic, of course. Autism sufferers are some of the most out-of-the-box thinkers we have and we need their insight. But the “autism” label does have a lot of negative stigma attached to it, especially in the social context. By affixing this label to the way a man thinks and processes, it implies that men are not neurotypical. Even in this study that disproves the idea there are no differences between the sexes, it finds a way to degrade men.

Leftist elites want to push a genderless society, but they’re only succeeding in hurting the next generation by creating confusion and destroying identity. Matt Walsh, podcaster and political pundit, pointed out that this attempt to erase masculinity from children is stealing childhoods. An example of this is that boys learn differently than girls. Boy are not built to sit for long periods of time. This causes problems in the classrooms. So if their spirit is not chastised out of them, they are medicated to get the desired behavior. But if they are not medicated, they are introduced to “transgender” ideology, which seeks to convince children that it does’t matter what you are biologically — boys can be girls and girls can be boys. This makes for sad, confused, and messed up kids.

So what’s the solution? Teach boys how to be brave, critical thinkers, courteous, strong, independent, adventurous, and wise. Raise boys to be men of character. As Candace Owens puts it: “There is no society that can survive without strong men. The East knows this. In the west, the steady feminization of our men at the same time that Marxism is being taught to our children is not a coincidence. It is an outright attack. Bring back manly men.”
