So is CRT the new "feminism"? Asking for a friend.

(Also the fact that this tweet alone will put me on some people's watch list is exactly the point of the Q.)

I just need to know the rules here. I've lived through the "feminist" debates & know how easily a word can become a kind of signal or shibboleth.

Not that I would likely pay attention to the rules. I've found that I'm no good at that and end up asking all the wrong Qs anyway.

I don't mean this facetiously. I honestly miss a lot of what other people seem to understand about acceptable Qs & statements, only to find out later that I've put my foot in it.

All that to say, if CRT has become the new shibboleth & being labeled "woke" is the new "heretic", I'm toast. I just can't keep up with it all.

So if you follow me regularly, just know that I'll continue to talk about all the things I've always talked about.

I'll ask Qs about how our theology & our embodied lives intersect. I'll ask about how economics & gender & nationality & race & lived experience shape how we move thru the world. How God's Providence shapes our individual lives.

I'll ask how God's revealed truth helps us make sense of the brokenness around us. I'll ask you to consider the mystery of the 1st & 2nd Adam & how Jesus Christ will bring it all to resolution & peace.

It's entirely likely that in asking these Qs I will eventually tread where angels fear. I understand this, but quite frankly, I don't know what else to do. I've never been very good at this sort of thing.

So while you may call me brave or insightful, it's more likely that I'm just curious & confused. It's more likely that I'm simply seeking clarity & better answers than the ones I currently have.

OTOH, if you see me as progressive or promoting a leftist agenda, you're likely giving me far too much credit. I can't even promote my own books well.

B/c if I *had* the capacity to create & facilitate some grand political movement, you better believe I'd be actually doing it instead of sitting in my basement angst-ridden over the word order of paragraph 3.
