The Blog of the Moderate Left pointed out the latest social scourge blamed on political correctness and feminism: women playing sports.
I bet you didn't even know it was a problem.
You see, sports greatly hinders the development of godly, Biblical, feminine character, according to the author.
The consequences?
The fruits we see are that today’s Christian women are often ill-prepared to be Biblically obedient wives and mothers.
As a result, We have a nation filled with weak men and disorderly women. Much of the disorderliness among women comes from feminist influences and activities like competitive sports. Weakened marriages and divorce are often the result.
So women playing sports can cause divorce. I suppose this makes sense. After all, in order to play sports, you need to think for yourself. And thinking for yourself is not especially compatible with obedience.
The author is also part of the self-esteem crowd.
I read about one school where the boys refused to wrestle the girls and forfeited their matches; there could be no greater embarrassment to them than to lose to a girl, not to mention it likely violated their sense of masculine chivalry. So not only is female sports participation degrading the feminine nature of women, in many cases it degrades the developing masculinity in boys.
However, in fairness, the author seems to have a problem with sports in general.
Given that sports may very well foster pagan and humanistic attitudes, I urge parents to think deeply about this issue and about whether or not any members of their families should participate in organized sports programs.
But at the very least, he urges that we should keep our daughters away from competitive sports and spend our time training them how to be Biblically feminine women, wives and mothers.
