![]() ![]() Moreover, prominent white feminists broadly suffer from their own myopia with regard to how things like race, class, sexual orientation, and ability intersect with gender. That feminists refuse to prioritize these issues has only exacerbated the age-old problem of both internecine discord and women who rebuff at carrying the title. All too often, however, the focus is not on basic survival for the many, but on increasing privilege for the few. Mainstream feminists rarely talk about meeting basic needs as a feminist issue, argues Mikki Kendall, but food insecurity, access to quality education, safe neighborhoods, a living wage, and medical care are all feminist issues. Today’s feminist movement has a glaring blind spot, and paradoxically, it is women.

It was also a key work in my own development. ![]() Although The Charioteer has been criticised by modern gays, it is a pioneering work. Before The Charioteer the only novels dealing head on with homosexuality were The City and the Pillar (1948) by Gore Vidal and works by Isherwood, which covered homosexuality fairly obliquely (in the 1930s). In the McCarthyite US, “perverts” were branded as communists and an executive order from Eisenhower banned gays from federal posts. Nineteen fifty-three was also the year in which John Gielgud was prosecuted for cottaging. It was published between the relaxing attitudes of the early 1940s and the reforming mood of the 1960s in a period of increasing persecution of homosexuals.

The Bible declares that God is the worker, and we are His workmanship (Ephesians 2:10), but Dave Hunt would call God a liar, declaring that we are both the worker AND the workmanship – and that fallen man, totally dead in sins and trespasses, must “dispose” himself to eternal life in order to be saved.ĭave Hunt’s scriptural gymnastics are parroted by those in the “Christian” media. The DHV (Dave Hunt Version) would have Acts 13:48 say this: “As many as ‘disposed themselves’ to eternal life believed.” Dave Hunt inverts the worker and the workmanship. He would take this verse even farther into the pit. But it seems that even the NIV isn’t liberal enough for Dave Hunt. The NIV renders the word “ordained” as “appointed”, which still delineates clear ly who is the actor and who is the one acted upon in the sentence. “And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed” Įven one of the most bastardized and adulterated versions, the NIV, does better than Hunt in translating this verse. ![]() ![]() ![]() Few legitimate claims to the once desperately sought Iron Throne still exist-or they are held in hands too weak or too distant to wield them effectively.
