For decades, feminist theory has shaped how we think about gender, power, and identity. But what happens when a scholar immersed in that world begins to question its foundations? In my latest video, I sit down with a former gender studies academic who once fully embraced feminist philosophy—until her journey took an unexpected turn back to faith.
What We Cover:
A Scholar’s Journey Through Gender Theory
From an evangelical upbringing to a PhD in feminist philosophy, our guest shares how she became deeply involved in gender studies, believing it would help answer fundamental questions about identity and justice.The Postmodern Worldview: How It Undermines Truth
Immersed in the academic world of postmodernism, she adopted a perspective where truth, gender, and even reality itself were seen as mere social constructs. But she soon discovered the limitations of this framework—and how it eroded any foundation for meaning.Motherhood and the Collapse of Feminist Assumptions
A pivotal moment came when she became a mother. The undeniable reality of biological difference and the embodied experience of womanhood began to challenge everything she had been taught. Could gender really be just a social construct?The Feminist Waves: What They Don’t Tell You
We break down the different waves of feminism, exposing how each phase—especially the shift from second-wave feminism to postmodern gender theory—drastically altered the movement’s original goals.

We explore the radical influence of Judith Butler, the push to erase biological sex, and the contradictions within gender ideology. How did we reach a point where defining ‘woman’ is considered controversial?From Postmodernism to Christianity: Finding Truth Again
As her feminist framework unraveled, she rediscovered faith—this time through the Catholic tradition. But rather than trading one ideology for another, she found a worldview that allowed her to seek truth rather than endlessly deconstruct it.
Why This Matters
In a time where gender debates dominate our culture, understanding the philosophical roots behind them is essential. If you've ever questioned the direction of modern feminism, struggled with the contradictions in gender theory, or wondered how faith and reason intersect, this conversation is for you.
