In Women, Rushdoony argues that the Enlightenment’s exaltation of autonomous reason resulted in the social and legal downgrading of women by redefining man as reason incarnate and woman as emotion or unreason. This distortion fractured the complementary relationship between the sexes, weakened the family, and fostered both romanticized irresponsibility and modern feminism’s pursuit of the same lawless “freedom” from God and responsibility claimed by men. Rushdoony contends that this false liberation has produced social atomism, moral collapse, and increasing vulnerability for women rather than dignity or protection. True liberty, he concludes, is found not in autonomy but in submission to God’s order, where men and women alike flourish in responsibility, purpose, and the blessings of living in God’s world. #Women #Rushdoony #ChristianWorldview #FaithAndCulture #BiblicalOrder #Family #Humanism #TrueFreedom

In Everyday Romanticism, Rushdoony warns that popular Romanticism, far from being harmless sentiment, is a destructive mindset that replaces God’s reality with self-created dreams and demands instant fulfillment without responsibility, patience, or discipline. Whether expressed in distorted expectations of love, career, or revolution, Romanticism insists on life “on my terms,” erupting into rage, despair, or victimization when reality intrudes. Rushdoony shows how this temperament fuels broken marriages, personal failure, and even political terror by seeking regeneration through emotion or revolution rather than through God’s transforming grace. Only a biblical faith, he concludes, can shatter Romantic illusions, restore humility, and teach men and women to live faithfully, fruitfully, and responsibly within God’s real world. #EverydayRomanticism #Rushdoony #ChristianWorldview #FaithAndCulture #Romanticism #BiblicalWisdom #Discipleship
