Jemimah’s Reviews > The Genesis of Gender: A Christian Theory > Status Update

Very interesting. Favale talks about biology and how that defines gender. A controversial take nowadays, which is hilarious. She's also honest about her previous misconceptions that gender is more of a construct.

I will say, at the end, Favale, being a Catholic, shares a rather, unique perspective about Christ. All to do with Eucharist. If you know you know.

This chapter blew my mind! Fevale talked about society's disconnect between a woman and her fertility, and the overall assumption now that a woman should be sterile by default. She mentioned the origins of the transgender movement and contraction. Seriously, mind blown! 🤯

An interesting but technical chapter. I found myself constantly looking up words, so a slow read, but a good one. Favale talked about the different types and waves of feminism, their ideologies and authors that promote them. Also How mainstream feminism often drifts from Christianity. Very good, and quite controversial in our pc culture.

Again, such a good chapter! Favale talks about the creation story in Genesis and how it parallels to other creation stories. She then talks about Adam and Eve, and the fall. Again, many good quotes!

What a book! Dense but interesting. So far, Favale has talked about her history of being a feminist, and is very honest about her shortfalls when she was caught up in feminism over Christianity. She is clear that feminism and Christianity align, but it has to be led by scripture and ultimately Jesus.
