Summary

I love Dr. Abigail Favale and her work in the Church is much needed. Her new book, The Genesis of Gender: A Christian Theory by Ignatius Press is out and is poppin' fresh. We discuss the main figures of the feminist movement and the core of their philosophies as it shifts into the gender movement: Simone de Beauvoir, Margaret Sanger, and Judith Butler.

Then Luke walks in. Literally, he walked straight into her conference room where Dr. Favale was recording and joined the show. His audio sucks because he's on his phone. I spent 40 minutes just trying to make it sound better. This is what you get.

Anywho, good conversation. And boy do I miss Lukey.

0:00.0	Hey everyone, Michael Gormley here, and I had the great privilege and honor of interviewing Dr. Abigail Favale. She used to be at George Fox. Now she's at Notre Dame. Couldn't be happier for her to work for Church Life Journal, especially speaking on feminist and gender issues, of which she is an expert. I love it. You can get her first book into the deep, which is a story of her conversion into
0:21.0	Catholicism through her feminist and gender theories. It's fascinating. It's a great read.
0:26.9	It's very much in alignment with Catching Fox's audiences. I think you'll love it. That's what
0:31.7	we first interviewed her on. But now this interview, she is at the Church Life Journal, at the
0:36.3	McGrath Institute at Notre Dame, which is
0:39.2	awesome. But she just came out with a new book with Ignatius Press called The Genesis of Gender,
0:45.2	a Christian theory. And the question of gender, who we are as men and women, has never been
0:49.0	more pressing or misunderstood. And so what she does is helps you understand how we got to this situation, starting
0:56.1	with the feminist movement, especially the major figures of people like Simone de Beauvoir,
1:01.8	Margaret Sanger, and Judith Butler, of which I constantly interrupt her, because I only want to
1:06.6	talk about these three people. We don't even, basically in the book, we ended about a page 101.
1:11.2	We, out of the 200-something pages. So there's a lot of amazing stuff that still continues on with this.
1:16.8	But we really do a deep dive into these characters and, you know, areas that she agrees with,
1:21.8	disagrees with. I had a fun time, especially when Luke shows up in the middle of the show. Yes,
1:29.5	Luke is at Notre Dame, rah, rah, rah, and he shows up in the middle of the show. Yes, Luke is at Notre Dame, rah, rah, rah.
1:32.3	And he shows up in the conference room where she's recording the show.
1:33.1	Very funny.
1:36.2	So Luke gets to be in there for about 45 minutes.
1:36.7	It's awesome.
1:38.2	Great having them back on.
1:43.8	So also our sponsors today, we have just one, BetterHelp.com slash foxes.
1:45.1	Thank you for sponsoring this show.
