“Modernism, which denies and abolishes every difference, cannot rest until it has made woman man and man woman, and, putting every distinction on a common level, kills life by placing it under the ban of uniformity. One type must answer for all, one uniform, one position and one and the same development of life; and whatever goes beyond and above it, is looked upon as an insult to the common consciousness.” – Abraham Kuyper. Lectures on Calvinism pg. 27
When men and women dissatisfied with their respective natures attempt to eradicate the distinction that God had once established between men and women in terms of body and soul… They sense a personal inadequacy within themselves as women, and rebel against the ordinance of God, who determines in our very birth whether we will be male or female. Against God’s ordinance, their sense of personal inadequacy seeks to attain an image that simply lies beyond the reach of women. Such women throw away the very thing that makes them valuable as women, and grasp in vain for the thing that gives men their value, although they can never attain it. Feminists want to be men, but they cannot; in fact, they will never become men, and the very most they will display is a caricature of them. – Abraham Kuyper. Pro Rege pg. 357
