Matt Walsh’s Documentary, “What is a Woman?” (2022) and my thoughts on Gender Ideology

Matt Walsh, What is a Woman? (credits to the owner)


             The issue on gender may not be new to most of us. In my case, this has been talked consistently when I was in college. Even until now, having a career with close ties to a government institution, this matter on gender sensitivity, equality, development, et cetera is still being studied and talked about. Heck, the government even has millions, if not billions, worth of funds just for it. I don’t know the entire details when it comes to allocations. Just look it up, will ya?


            So, gender, as most people believe, especially in the academe, is a very broad subject to talk about. Though I’m not entirely sure that is really the case because if you would look for its definition in the dictionary, it’s just basically related with sex (I’m not talking about coitus. So, curb that naughty mind of yours.) and sexual classification. Many might disagree with me on this, but I don’t really care about that. What I do care about is the disturbing ideas that most of the western culture have developed especially on the side of the LGBTQ+ Ideology. I wouldn’t classify this as a “community” because for me, it’s an ideological concept which I believe could lead to a lot of things. And believe me, most of it is… bad. I mean, bad, bad.


            I could get in trouble just by saying that. Be labeled as a “homophobe” or a “transphobe” or whatever those “phobes” are. But I know for a fact that that ain’t what I am. I consider people, no matter what they believe in, as people. Just human beings living their lives in the way that they think could work for them. However, I’ve seen an imposition on some of the concepts that this ideology adheres to our established norms. Now, I don’t have a problem with that. I don’t care if they want to scream at the top of their lungs the ideas that they believe in. Shoving it into our faces though, now that’s a whole different ball game.


            There is nothing wrong about fighting for your rights. I mean, I’d fight for mine. So does everybody. I’m referring to the most basic human rights which are life and liberty. Everything else is basically just a subset of those two. However, there’s a boundary that we must note when it comes to the second one. Liberty is not all-encompassing and is therefore limited in some sense. As Jean-Jacques Rousseau puts it, “Man is born free; and everywhere he is in chains.” And another one, “Freedom is the power to choose our own chains.”


            I’m saying these because there is a limit to what we want the world to believe in. And not everything that we adhere to is acceptable to everybody. And in relation to the gender ideology that the LGBTQ+ espouses, it’s a contradiction to their dogma. But let me reiterate again, I have nothing against the people around this ideology. However, I am against the ideology itself.


            Now, that has been a lengthy introduction. I guess I was just carried away with my thoughts, which a writer should avoid, or so they say. But naaaah, I choose to be different. So, about this documentary that, by the way, is a preeeettty good one. Matt Walsh just asks the simple question, “What is a Woman?” fairly simple premise about a very simple inquiry. But apparently, post-modern leftist mentality made it exceptionally incomprehensible to the western mind. It concerns me because this idea has somehow crept ever so silently but viciously into our eastern culture.


            Through the media and pseudo-scientific experimentation, our generation is experiencing a downturn from the natural order of things into a spiraling void of irrational ideas and destructive belief. Matt Walsh has successfully and brilliantly exposed in this documentary the sheer stupidity and likelihood for the downfall of the western civilization, by asking that very simple question, “What is a Woman?” and why does it matter? Well, for one, it matters because the future of our species lies in the hands of the present and future generations. And if they grow up to have a difficulty in distinguishing their own identity, it would be a problem. Like, BIG TIME!


            The U.S. and most of the entire western world has had its fill of misdeeds in the past, but those are basically arbitrary in sense. Some are even necessary for our present culture to be shaped on what it is today. But somehow along those lines, their culture and reliance to the truth has waned through time. I don’t know? Maybe they’ve become too comfortable in their status that’s why most of them have become soft and unable to distinguish the truth that nature screams from their mental disability to even question the truth? This is a blatant and idiotic evolution, if you can consider it one.


            My point here is, when do we draw the line between the truth and somebody’s own perception of the truth? And I think the documentary has raised that question too. Perhaps it is relatable to me because I am concerned about the future. Just so you know, I have recently been married and my wife and I are expecting a child one of these days. I hope that would be soon. And I don’t want my future children to have a blurred vision of reality. I want them to experience life the way it is meant to be explored and enjoyed as a BOY or a GIRL. I don’t want them to be further away from the truth which our society is slowly inclining to do the very opposite.


            I hope that you, my dear reader, could also realize the potential danger of this ideology and be able to deeply understand the negative outcomes it might bring. I’m not endorsing, but I hope you’d watch Matt Walsh’s documentary. Thanks for reading. God bless you all!
