Shortly after my talk with Fr. Thomas Soroka on Ancient Faith Radio, I had the great pleasure of also talking about gender issues with Rebecca Dillingham for her blog, Dissident Mama. I mentioned our talk and linked to the podcast on Facebook and, uh, X, but for some reason I neglected to post a notice here on my own blog, so I’m doing so now. (I’m not really very good about publicity.)  

My talk with Rebecca was wider ranging than my interview with Fr. Tom, covering not just deaconesses but the fundamentals of male and female and the misery inflicted on people, especially young people, by the woke world’s demand that everyone ignore all differences between men and women.

An infamous Bolshevik is said to have said, “The worse, the better,” or “The worse things get, the better things are.” That’s true for anarchists struggling to overthrow the existing regime. In our case, it is at least true that the worse things get, the clearer things are. In our darkest days, God does often give us a clear choice of good or evil, even ultimately a good man or a bad man—Jesus of Nazareth or Barabbas.

These days, the consequences of denying the difference of male and female are more and more obvious, and more and more people are waking up to the evils of feminism and bearing witness against it. Rebecca is one of them, having been raised a feminist and then seen the light. We had a great time talking. Click here or the image above to listen in.

By the way, Rebecca’s also the founder of the Philip Ludwell III Orthodox Fellowship, and it was at the fellowship’s first and very successful conference in September that I had the pleasure of meeting her in person, along with a lot of good people.
