“Finally 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.” ― Abraham Kuyper, Lectures on Calvinism (1898)
Equality of outcome is the same as hostility toward excellence. Kuyper saw this coming. He saw hat egalitarianism would lead to men pretending to be women and women pretending to men. He saw that excellence would be penalized and debauchery would be subsidized.
"Give me a candle and a Bible and shut me up in a dark dungeon, and I will tell you everything that the whole world is doing." ― J.C. Ryle
The prophets of God always see these kind of things coming. Anyone with new eyes in their head can read the room, even when it is pitch black. The Bible is a lamp to our feet and gives us guidance as to where we should step next, but also shows us where the road is headed.
Modernity is merely egalitarianism. The spirit of the age is the elimination of distinctions. It is at war with the world God made. It hates that night and day are divided and that men and women are different. It despises distinctions.
