The Gender Ideology and the Future of the Free Society

The Gender Ideology has seemingly arrived on the scene very quickly. This course explains the origins of the Gender Ideology, how it threatens core values of the free society, and how to address the Gender Ideology, both at the personal level and the policy level.

  1. How the Gender Ideology fits in with the overall Sexual Revolution
  2. Resentment of the limitations of the body, and its gendered nature.
  3. Irrationality is not a bug, it’s a feature. Doing the impossible requires a lot of power.
  4. The Sexual Revolution is beyond left and right: it is a fantasy ideology, that accumulates power.
  5. Christian anthropology is superior to the Gender Ideology.
