Girl Bosses, Taylor Swift, & Yoga Pants: Smashing Feminism's Idols in the Public Square
In this episode, I'll talk about why we should ridicule what is ridiculous and why we should smash idols in public. In particular, we'll talk about the three daughters of feminism—three visions for womanhood—that need to be dismantled. They are what I'm calling Girl Boss, Inc., Taylor Swift, and Yoga Pants.
In Judges 6, Gideon was raised up by the Lord to fight against the Midianites, but first, he was called to smash his father's idol in the public square and to replace it with the altar of the Lord. The people repented, and God sent a prophet with hard words. So, do we need top down or bottom up change? The answer seems to be, "yes."

Welcome to this episode of the Hard Men Podcast. I'm your host, eric Kahn, and in today's episode we're going to be talking about girl bosses, taylor Swift and yoga pants smashing feminism's idols in the public square. I want to begin in Judges, chapter six. You remember Judges, chapter six?
Speaker 1:We find Israel oppressed by the Midianites because they had embraced Israel, had the idolatries of the pagans around them. And so what happens? The people are oppressed by the Midianites. Of course, we find Gideon in the wine press. He's down in a hole threshing wheat so that they can hopefully keep some of their produce, because everything is being consumed by the nation around them. And so what happens? Well, the people cry out to God for deliverance. The people who had sinned and the people who are oppressed cry out to God for deliverance, and God responds in a couple of ways. First of all, he responds by raising up a prophet. God responds by raising up a prophet to call the people to repentance, a prophet with hard words. And so the people are called to repent. But God also responds by rousing this warrior, this Christian prince, if you will, gideon, and he's going to fight against God's enemies.
Speaker 1:There's a lot of questions being asked right now. Do we need top-down change or do we need bottom-up change? And I think the answer that God gives us, at least in Judges, chapter 6, is yes, that people need to repent and we need new leaders and we need prophets and pastors who are willing to speak boldly to the idols of the day, the specific idols, to name them and to go after them. And you notice in Judges, chapter 6, before there is ever a battle, before there is any deliverance at all from the Lord, god gives Gideon a specific task. He says to Gideon I want you to burn down the altar of your father in the public square, that's right. I want you to go into your household and I want you to purge the idol from your household, this idol that everybody in your culture is worshiping, and I want you to do it publicly and in his place, I want you to erect the altar of the Lord in public. You see, god is demanding a public declaration of war against the idols of his day, because the altar he destroyed belonged to Baal. Gideon would therefore be given the name Jerob Baal, which means he who goes to war with Baal, he who fights Baal. In other words, this deliverer for Israel would be known as a Baal fighter, and I think it's worth pointing out that this is exactly the type of man which modern evangelicals are entirely uncomfortable with. But it is the man that we so desperately need in this hour. It is the man of courage who smashes the idols. It's the man of courage who smashes the idols and he does so publicly, he makes a scene about it.
Speaker 1:You know, it's so interesting to me that there are Christians in our camp who say let's just focus on the internal Christian community, let's repent and reform our ways and let's not tick off the pagan culture. And yet that's not quite God's plan, is it? We saw a similar thing in the book of Judges with Samson. God calls Samson to go to war, to pick a fight. God rouses this man by the Holy Spirit to go to war with the Philistines and to pick a fight. It's like the scene in Braveheart when the Scottish nobility asks William Wallace, what are you doing? He said I'm going to pick a fight. It's God who sends his warrior first to make a public scene and to go and to pick a fight. You see, god wants us, as Christians, to go to war with the idols of the pagan culture, not make peace with them, not pander to them.
Speaker 1:And so in this episode, I want to make the argument that there are fundamentally three ladies of folly in our culture that must be publicly destroyed, and we might call them the daughters of feminism. Like the harlot and lady folly in Proverbs, these are three idolatrous and pagan notions about what our young women should aspire to become like. They're set before our women at almost every turn, particularly by the powers of the media. Our culture says this is the ideal woman, and we'll look at those three forms. But it's also three pictures of women and three visions of womanhood that we need to warn our sons against. Sons, you need to avoid these types of women. Now, unfortunately, these feminist idols are idols that the church has for decades refused to address. Instead, we've co-opted these visions and we've tried to Christianize them, as though they could be Christianized. But instead, what I'm calling for is to smash these idols and to do so publicly, to do a Gideon thing and to make a public scene about it. What I want to do first is kind of lay out just quickly a Christian vision for godly womanhood.
Speaker 1:What is a Christian vision for godly womanhood? Well, in contrast to the seductive harlot, that is Lady Folly in Proverbs the whore. We find the godly picture of womanhood in Proverbs 31. And very briefly, I want to ask the question who is she? Who is this woman in Proverbs 31.? And very briefly, I want to ask the question who is she? Who is this woman in Proverbs 31?
Speaker 1:Well, fundamentally, she is the woman who is rooted in the household. That's her place. She's an oikos despot as Paul might call her. She is submissive to her husband and to her husband's mission and she is oriented in every way in her vocation around her children and her productive household. You see, she pours her very best into the productive home and not away from it into career or in politics. In fact, it's her husband who is in the gates. Because she is so productive at home he can go into the city gates and he can address the civil sphere. He is the outward facing bulwark for the family. She is not Now. She has real strength and real beauty, but it is the kind of strength and beauty that is adorned with modesty and not with sensual exploitation of her sexuality. It's quite the opposite. Picture from Lady Folly and the harlot that we find elsewhere in Proverbs. Picture from Lady Folly and the harlot that we find elsewhere in Proverbs.
Speaker 1:Now we also find confirmations of this type of womanhood from Paul in 1 Timothy 2 and Titus 2. So, for example, in Titus 2, verses 4 and 5, paul says that the older women are to train the young women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled, to be pure, to be working at home, kind and submissive to their own husbands. That the word of God may not be reviled. You see, it's an important point to be made that when we tell our women to go be like a girl boss or be like Taylor Swift, or we tell them to go out and to dress sensually, the word of God is reviled. It's not inconsequential that we are sending so many of our women into the workforce and away from their households. In this way, the word of God is reviled, society is destroyed but, perhaps more importantly, the word of God is reviled.
Speaker 1:Now, in light of this vision for godly womanhood, what are the false visions for womanhood that we need to destroy today? What are the idols that need smashed? Well, number one, I'm going with Girlboss Inc. Girlboss Inc. In America today. Consider this nearly 80% of women between the ages of 25 and 34 are in the workforce, 80% of our young women in childbearing years are in the workforce, which means they're not at home. Young women in childbearing years are in the workforce, which means they're not at home. Oddly enough, before 1970, women reported much higher rates of happiness than men. Today, however, women report their happiness is far below that of men. Go figure, when you subvert God's natural order for the sexes, women are miserable, and the data points this out. This is all self-reported data. By the way, we have built an entire country's economy on this Girlboss Inc mindset.
Speaker 1:It's the idea that joining the workforce alongside men is the true ideal for women. This is where they'll be free and liberated. And yet women are more miserable than they've ever been. And so by smashing Girlboss Inc as an idol, I mean to destroy the notion that women ought to be primarily focused on career rather than household. But I also want to smash the notion that women can have a homeward orientation, but also they can have the best of both worlds and they can be out on the society-facing front lines of career or politics or culture warring.
Speaker 1:You see, I think this is what's going on so much in Christian circles. We see it all the time. There's this underlying current, this encouragement, this tide that pulls women out and encourages Christian conservative women to seek political office. It encourages them and calls them and shames them if they don't participate in pro-level competitive sports. That's what women are for, we're told. It tells them that they need to be loudmouthed women who are on political podcasts or out in the public teaching God's word. Well, what I want to say here is it's a pernicious lie. Women, you can't have it all. You can't have it all. You can't have the best of all worlds.
Speaker 1:The Christian vision that God spells out for us is not to be a girl boss plus housewife. It's not to have a career and the home and maybe 1.5 children. Right, the scripture is clear in Proverbs 7, 11, when it says of the adulterous woman. The scripture is clear in Proverbs 7, 11, when it says of the adulterous woman. She is loud and wayward, her feet do not stay at home. She's loud and she's wayward, her feet do not stay at home. And yet, how many times in Christian circles we applaud women who are loud and contentious with men. In the political sphere, we applaud women who are arguing and fighting with words, rhetorically fighting with men. We applaud this all the time. We celebrate the good, strong woman who don't need no man and we celebrate the woman who does not stay at home. Yet Proverbs 7.11 says this is a picture of the adulterous woman.
Speaker 1:Now I think Werner Neuer was right in what he said about feminism. He said about feminism that the goal was always about getting women into careers and out of the home. It was an undermining of the family that was in mind. He writes this the tragedy of feminism is that it propagates precisely the opposite of the real interest of women. Instead of helping women to develop their femaleness to its optimum, it tends to encourage them to imitate men. That's what we're doing when we're calling women to be in the workforce or in society as political or culture warriors. He goes on feminism teaches that women should participate to the same extent as men in careers, in society and politics. End quote.
Speaker 1:Here's the reality for women. You can't be in two places at the same time. Studies show that the majority of women who enter the workforce still bear the lion's share of responsibility for the home. And of course this is natural because it's in their nature. It's in the nature of women to give their best for a man, except in our culture. We say don't give your best to your husband. Give it to another man in the workforce, a strange man who won't care for you. The state will pick up the slack. This means career. Women are usually working two full-time jobs. Now this is crazy. Can you do two full-time jobs, really, really well? Of course you can't, and if a man did this, we'd say he had misplaced his priorities, that he had neglected his family, and we would be right. But what happens when we encourage women to do it?
Speaker 2:As the saying goes, gold is the money of kings, silver is the money of gentlemen, but debt is the money of slaves.
Speaker 2:If you're tired of seeing your wealth sapped by the silent theft of inflation, consider adding gold to your financial plan. Gold and silver have been recognized as sound money and a store of wealth for centuries. Converting your savings into gold and silver will protect and preserve your wealth so that one day you'll be able to pass down a true inheritance to your children's children.

Speaker 1:Likewise, when you convince women that their best contributions are away from the home rather than in the home, what do you do? Well, you destroy households and you destabilize society. You're also encouraging women to live in disobedience to their sex. You see their very body their breasts and their womb cry out for motherhood. They do not cry out for spreadsheets and corner offices. I was recently laughing when I read a Babylon Bee headline, and I think it perfectly captures how pushing women into the workforce violates their nature. This is what the headline said Woman wishes there was some kind of job that would let her work from home and do stuff she enjoys, like baking, sewing and hanging out with her kids. Well, of course, there is a job, and it's called motherhood, and it's what God has ordained for women. Now, there will be exceptions, of course, but this is a general principle and we ought to abide by it. So Paul, for example, did not say that women would be saved by engaging in the vocations of men. He didn't say that women would be saved by their political podcasting and their advocacy in the public sphere. Instead he said quote the woman will be saved through childbearing, that is, motherhood, if they continue in faith and love and holiness with self-control. 1 Timothy 2.15. So this actually seems really clear in scripture. It's just wildly culturally unpopular.
Speaker 1:Practically, what does this mean? Well, I think it means that we need to stop encouraging or pressuring our young ladies to put off marriage and instead rack up debt at college, advance in their careers or play the field with modern dating. They don't need the college debt STD track at school. And I know there's a lot of Christian ladies where you're like in that in-between phase and you think well, mr Right hasn't come along, I'm not yet married, so what do I do? My answer would be remain in your father's household, you continue to serve in the roles that women are intended to serve in, and it doesn't mean in that waiting period that you're not doing anything. Certainly, we hope that your father is helping to seek a spouse for you, but it doesn't mean that you go build a giant career and get $100,000 in debt, because then what happens is you are less and less likely a quality candidate for marriage. You're going to be less appealing. That's just the reality. There is a reason, after all, that 70% of divorces are filed by women, 70% filed by women, and this increases to 90% among college educated women. 90% divorce initiated by women when the women are college educated. Is college helping mothers attain the goal and attain the purpose for which God has called them? The obvious answer is no. So here's the reality. Motherhood and household management, when done well, it's an intensely difficult and glorious vocation, and it requires a woman's total devotion. You're not selling yourself short. You're not missing out on something. I think that's the lie that we've been told. Here's a good question when will young girls learn how to be mothers? Well, certainly not in a profession outside the home, but alongside their mothers and their fathers in the home. This seems obvious, and so that's where women ought to direct their attention. So that's Girl Boss Inc.
Speaker 1:Number two idol that I think we have to smash in public is Taylor Swift. Now, it's Taylor Swift, but it's also what she represents. More so, some time ago, I saw that Taylor Swift was named Time Magazine's Person of the Year. You see, swift is a pop icon and a celebrity who uses her platform to push gay and trans rights. She pushes the democratic platform. She pushes the murder of children in the womb. She's sort of a darling of trashy tabloids which love to focus on her carousel of promiscuous relationships. It was Swift, after all, who said I'm a Christian I'm quoting now I'm a Christian and people with real Christian values support abortion. End quote.
Speaker 1:Now, in response to the Time magazine cover, I tweeted this quote it's shameful and sad that a hyper promiscuous, childless woman aging alone with a cat draped around her shoulders has become the heroine of a feminist age end quote. And I think it is. Cs Lewis was right when he said quote when men are forbidden to honor a king, they will honor millionaires, athletes or film stars instead, even famous prostitutes or gangsters, for spiritual nature, like bodily nature, will be served. Deny it food and it will gobble poison. End quote.
Speaker 1:Taylor Swift, I think, represents a poisonous ideal for the feminist age. She is a woman dislocated from a father or husband's headship, she is devoid of household and celebrated for her leftist, progressive views. She is, after all, the pagan culture's darling. And you might say to yourself well, that's not a temptation, eric. That's not a temptation for Christians, though, but I think it is. As soon as I tweeted this about Taylor Swift, it was Christian reform female voices who chimed in with things like this yeah, but her music is so fun. Girls love to go to her concerts, eric, she's a great role model. She's so cute. She's dating Travis Kelsey. She's a hopeless romantic, eric. Right. The point is, christian women have also been duped by this idolatrous vision for womanhood. Now, it's interesting. I found this interesting.
Speaker 1:Taylor's parents meanwhile said they named her Taylor because it was an androgynous name. Now, there's certainly nothing wrong with the name Taylor I happen to like the name Taylor but if your motivation for naming your daughter is androgyny so she can succeed in a man's world well you've got a problem. You see, her parents wanted her, even from an early age, to succeed in a man's world, and so they changed, or gave her rather, a name like Taylor, so that you couldn't tell if she was a man or woman. And I think Taylor has imbibed this lie too. So, for example, consider the lyrics from her song titled the man. In it, she ponders how much more success she would have had if she were a man, which I particularly find ironic because the lady is a billionaire and she travels all over the world in a jet, her carbon footprint is I don't know enormous, and yet she's still repeating the old feminist trumps about being disadvantaged because she's a woman. So here's what this song says I would be complex, I would be cool, they say.
Speaker 1:I played the field before I found someone to commit to, and that would be okay for me to do. Every conquest I had made would make me more of a boss to you. I'd be a fearless leader, I'd be an alpha type. When everyone believes you, what's that like? I'm so sick of running as fast as I can, wondering if I'd get there quicker if I was a man. And I'm so sick of running as fast as I can, wondering if I'd get there quicker if I was a man. And I'm so sick of them coming at me again because if I was a man, then I'd be the man.
Speaker 1:Now, when you compare Taylor to the different types of women in Proverbs, it's clear that she's closer to the seductive, smooth-tongued harlot than the pious woman of Proverbs 31. I think this is obvious. She's more like the Proverbs 7-11 woman and so the celebrity pop star prostitute is an idol that I believe needs to be smashed, not celebrated, and it needs to be smashed publicly. The glory of our young woman is living in obedience to their sex as women, not in their attempts to become like the most lecherous of men.

Number three idol that we'll address in today's show is yoga pants everybody's favorite yoga pants.
Speaker 1:A couple years ago, pastor brian and I started tweeting about female modesty, and why did we do that? What was the occasion? Well, there was a couple things. Number one we saw a lot of lewdly dressed christian ladies on instagram who were parading around half naked and saw no problem with this. But one other reason was that we saw a viral post on social media from a male youth group leader, and he was encouraging the young ladies in his church not to be quote legalistic about modesty, but instead he was calling on the young ladies in his youth group to embrace two-piece bathing suits at public beaches and to quote wear whatever feels fun. Now hear me out on this one.
Speaker 1:It's hard to imagine a creepier sentiment coming from a youth pastor. First of all, why do you have youth pastors? You have those. But second of all, you have a pastor who is actually calling for women to wear less and be sexy. For who Like? That's creepy. I think it's also creepy when you compare it to what Paul said in 1 Timothy 2.9. He said this women should adorn themselves in respectable apparel, with modesty and self-control.
Speaker 1:So why did we go after yoga pants or perhaps bathing suits in public? Well, the real issue here is about feminine modesty, which the feminist movement hates. Why do they hate it? Because it teaches women that commodifying their sexuality through sensual dress is a way to get power over men and power in society in general. Somehow, women are led to believe that the more you can reveal through skin-tight clothing or the lack of clothing well, the more power and freedom it gives you as an individual. But of course this is nonsense.
Speaker 1:God is quite clear in scripture that the point of clothing is to conceal and to cover as a glory, not to reveal. Covering is a glory. That's the point here. For example, in Genesis 3, after Adam and Eve realized they were naked and ashamed, what do they do? They put on skimpy little G-string fig leaves and God says no, that's not going to cut it. What does he do? God provides full-length animal skins for Adam and Eve to wear. Essentially, then, god is the first father in history to tell his kids yeah, I don't think so, go back upstairs. You're going to put more on. You're not wearing that in public. Now, similarly, in Luke, chapter 8, we're told that the demoniac is naked and out of his mind. This is what satanic, demonic possession will do to a person. And then, when Christ frees the man from demonic possession, luke tells us that the man was quote clothed and in his right mind. That's verse 35 of Luke, chapter 8.
Speaker 1:Practically, this means we need to help our daughters and wives recover the lost art of beautiful, feminine, well-adorned, modest dress. Now, the goal isn't to be frumpy or dumpy, and it doesn't mean that everybody has to wear a denim jumper, but it does mean that we ought to aim at the glorious adornment of modesty, particularly for the female sex. Women are going to be tempted in this way. You remember Lucy in the Voyage of the Dawn Treader? She looks in the mirror and what is she? Tempted with? Vanity. You could be the prettiest girl on earth, prettier than anyone else, and of course, aslan corrects her right. This is a particular feminine, or female sin. She wants to be looked at, she wants to be lusted after. Even as men want to lust, women have a sinful tendency to want to be lusted after. And so, as fathers and husbands, we protect our women. We say no, we're going to do the thing of the father, we're going to wear glorious, adorned, modest clothing. Let me conclude this episode by saying this Saul Alinsky, that cultural warrior of the left, terrible guy, but had some helpful insight, he once said, quote humor is essential to a successful tactician, for the most potent weapons known to mankind are satire and ridicule.
Speaker 1:Let me say that again, the most potent weapons known to mankind are satire and ridicule. Now, one of the things we must do, I think, in the spirit of Gideon, as we're smashing idols, is to ridicule what is ridiculous. And nothing is more worthy of ridicule than the anti-Christian and feminist ideals of women as girl bosses, taylor Swift, wannabes or centrally dressed hoes. Instead, let us promote the biblical vision of women as keepers of the hearth, and mothers and wives who gladly submit to their husbands and fathers with a gentle and quiet spirit. And so I charge you, men, particularly this is the time in our culture and in our place in the world to fight for your wives and fight for your daughters, fight for their modesty, fight for the godly vision of women in the homes. May you be blessed as you go about doing this work, and may the spirit of God himself strengthen you in all that you do and helping to live out the mandate that God has given us in Genesis for men and for women.
