Something is Wrong with ‘What is a Woman?’

“Matt Walsh puts liberal lawmaker in his place.”
“Woke Pro-Choicer DESTROYED!!!”
“Charlie Kirk Takes on Liberal Kid”
“Woke Trans Liberal Gets Destroyed”
“Ben Shapiro destroys SJW!!!”
I sometimes wonder if my liberal friends—wait, I do have liberal friends don’t I—have the same issue. Who are the liberal Shapiros and Walshes and Petersons out there destroying smug capitalists and racist, white people? Who’s the white, liberal Candace Owens, equally as intelligent and abrasive, running circles around ill-prepared conservatives? Nevertheless, I digress.
In 2022, Matt Walsh and The Daily Wire released the documentary What is a Woman? whereby Walsh exposes the gender insanity sweeping our nation by asking the simple question, “What exactly is a woman?”
Here at last was the ultimate “gotcha”, the destruction of left-wing gender ideology with logic and reason. The film was very well done, and Walsh was as dry and engaging as usual. It was a fascinating piece of satire and commentary rolled into a singular work and as pleasing as it was to watch, I couldn’t help but feel that something was missing.
Something was dreadfully absent.
A confession.
I liked it. I must admit. I liked it greatly.
Similarly, I recall a November night in 2016 when I watched with awe as our nation elected Donald Trump president. I remember the moment, while watching it unfold, when it became apparent that he was probably going to win. I remember the liberals melting down and I must confess, it pleased me to see them melt down.
Rachel Maddow melting down. Don Lemon melting down. Cenk Uygur melting down. Van Jones ranting, “This was a white lash!” Was there anything more satisfying than the hosts of The View, Joy Behar and Whoopie Goldberg, lamenting Trump’s election, nearly in tears?
They made compilation videos of Hillary’s supporters crying as she conceded, screaming in the streets. Oddly satisfying. I am still amazed that anyone would put such stock in any political candidate, any person, man or woman, but seeing these liberals melt down satisfied me deeply…my flesh that is.
What is a Woman? scratched that very same itch.
Let’s be clear.
We ought to stand against this ideology and the gender insanity sweeping our nation.
We ought to ban biological men from competing against biological women. Lia Thomas ought to be ashamed. Fallon Fox ought to be ashamed. We ought to protect women’s only spaces. Artemis Langford ought to be expelled from the sorority. Anne Andres ought to be stripped of all records. These are all obvious and go without saying.
I look to the men of this nation. The men of this nation, the fathers of this nation, we have failed our daughters collectively. We ought to be ashamed of standing by as weak and perverted men have invaded the privacy of our daughters, robbed them of opportunity, in some cases hurt them, even scared them. They, our daughters, know this isn’t right, but our collective paternal silence in contrast to the strident cries of the world in support of this ideology must be confusing. At least some women such as Riley Gaines and the students from Kappa Kappa Gamma are starting to take a stand.
This is all so obvious, but it must be said.
The Tragedy of Artemis Langford.
The Christian ought to look deeper.
I am fascinated by a picture from the news of Artemis Langford, a biological man, who is a member of the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority. It is all so typically sorority-ish, a handful of pretty young girls, delightfully panning for the camera…except for the trollish presence of an obvious man, Artemis Langford.
I am fascinated and moved by the obvious brokenness. Here is a man who is so confused, so twisted, so broken that he has sought refuge with young women, denying who God made him to be. Is he merely a pervert seeking to be around a bunch of young college girls, or is he truly confused about who he is? Either way, the issue is that he is lost. Lostness is the issue.
Imagine being so sure of your confusion that you would mutilate your own body. Imagine being surrounded by legions of fawning counselors and therapists reassuring you in your decisions. Imagine a culture showering you in adulation and social capital, labeling you a hero, brave. Imagine the horror of waking up one day and looking in the mirror at the irreversible damage and thinking to yourself, “My God, what have I done?” Lostness.
Artemis Lanford is lost. Lia Thomas is lost. The others are lost, hopelessly lost apart from Christ and I simply find no prescription in Scripture for hating the lost. Quite the opposite in fact.
Herein lies the rub.
Christ gazes upon the lost and, “seeing the people, He felt compassion for them, because they were…like sheep without a shepherd.” (Matthew 9:36) Christ had compassion on them.
This is what was missing from What is a Woman? Compassion was missing. Here was nothing but scorn and disdain, reviling, and I simply find no prescription in the Bible for a Christian to have contempt for fellow image bearers of God.
Christ was missing from What is a Woman?
Again, brave men ought to confront the godlessness of gender ideology, with love and compassion, never forgetting that, but by the grace of God, there go I. (1 Corinthians 15:10) We ought to recall our own high treason against the King of kings before we look to the offense of another. Most of all, we ought to preach the Gospel to them, remembering that God does not rejoice in the death of the wicked. (Ezekiel 33:11)
As for me, I’ve already repented of my gleeful reveling, at least until the next election that is.
