Isaiah 3:12: As for My people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O My people! Those who lead you cause you to err, and destroy the way of your paths.
Stacy and I just finished watching the new Gunn Brothers documentary, The Monstrous Regiment of Women. Here is my first impression…
WOW!
This is a documentary for the whole church. In a very sensitive yet straightforward way, the film exposes the many lies of feminism. Using the paradigm of the historic conflict between the great Reformer, John Knox and Mary, Queen of Scots, issues from abortion to modesty to complementary roles are explored. Additionally, the impact of feminism on our government, economy, and the family are detailed.
The all-female cast is real and genuine. The message is powerful. The addition of the metrical psalms were very moving. The message is so needed today.
The film presents the forgotten concept of Christocentricity. If there ever was a “centricity” to rally around (pardon the pun), it is this one. This is our goal with family reformation.
And, I must say, my wife’s commentary was great!
One note – there is a troubling scene of an actual aborted child. This may be too much for young eyes. But, the reality should send you to your knees seeking God’s forgiveness on a sinful nation.
I also really enjoyed that movie Pastor McDonald!

I enjoyed the movie very much UNTIL the abortion scene. I am very sorry to say, but that ruined it for me.
I had high hopes for this project, and was extremely disappointed.
However, had the very graphic abortion scene not been included, I think I would be very proud to own this documentary, and I would very likely share it with others.
I do hope Mr. Gunn will continue to make good films.

Hi Julie,
I agree that the abortion scene is graphic – but I also think it is needed. As a group, evangelical Christians seem to have forgotten the cause of the unborn. Here in our community, we only had about 200 people in total show up for the Life Chain event - Providence Church brought 90. We need to remember the danger of feminism and its close cousin abortion. Maybe scenes like this – that show that an aborted child is indeed a child – can help the church wake up and again stand for life.
While the scene was tragic, it is a part of the story.
I still highly recommend the film.
