What does it mean?<\/p>\n<p>A video of women engaging in \u201crage rituals\u201d \u2014 where they screamed, pounded the ground and broke sticks \u2014 went viral on social media last week.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Women are signing up for rage rituals as a way to release suppressed emotions and reconnect with themselves. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/JhOoscMb4s\">https:\/\/t.co\/JhOoscMb4s<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/7OK82LfybU\">pic.twitter.com\/7OK82LfybU<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 USA TODAY (@USATODAY) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/USATODAY\/status\/1788849077171490881?\">May 10, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Is that what Swift was referencing?<\/p>\n<p>The pop star used the phrase in a social media post on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>Swift explained that the X post was \u201cdedicated to the new Tortured Poets section of the Eras Tour (aka Female Rage The Musical!),\u201d and expressed her gratitude that she was able to share the revamped version of her show for the first time in Paris.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">This post is dedicated to the new Tortured Poets section of the Eras Tour (aka Female Rage The Musical!) and everyone who made these memories so magical.

12, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Now, it was unclear what she planned to do with this trademark.<\/p>\n<p>TMZ speculated it was a move by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/taylor-swift-blasted-anti-christian-album-mocking-god-new-songs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Swift<\/a> to prevent either unauthorized fans or vultures from capitalizing on her new catchphrase, but it might have had as much of an ideological purpose as a practical one.<\/p>\n<p>For one, \u201cfemale rage\u201d has been floating around radical left-wing circles for years, with several recent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/bill-maher-mocks-don-lemon-face-trying-play-race-card-cmon\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">self-pitying<\/a> think pieces picking up on the phrase\u2019s increasing internet prevalence.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hercampus.com\/school\/sjsu\/what-is-feminine-rage\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Her Campus,<\/a> for instance, devoted an April 2023 article to explaining the meaning, saying it was \u201can ancestral and inherited response to the struggles, oppressions, and wrongdoings that women have been subjected to.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meaning it\u2019s the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/feminist-mob-smashes-windows-throws-molotov-cocktails-womens-day-protest\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">feminist<\/a> version of \u201cwhite people need to pay black people reparations because of century-old crimes.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"firefly-poll-container\">\n<p>Is Taylor Swift a negative influence on America\u2019s youth?<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>According to the website for college women, \u201cfeminine rage\u201d is quiet, seething, passive-aggressive even, and a justified response to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/hillary-gets-brutally-trolled-pathetically-endorsing-book-painting-tragic-victim-forced-turn-off-comments\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">evils of men<\/a> then and now (such as husbands not reading their wives\u2019 minds when their spouses feel overwhelmed with housework).<\/p>\n<p>Her Campus noted that it is unhealthy to let anger silently fester, but it fell right back into <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/op-ed-lefts-identity-politics-strategy-direct-collision-course\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">identity politics<\/a> by claiming that since this rage is \u201cgenerational,\u201d today\u2019s young women need to be the generation that \u201cbreaks the silence\u201d and talks <em>ad nauseam<\/em> about it.<\/p>\n<p>The left has long described the expression of female rage as \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/avatar-director-claims-showing-pregnant-women-warriors-hunters-female-empowerment\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">empowering<\/a>,\u201d claiming that women have been belittled for their rage for centuries while men have been \u201chonored.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This could be what Swift was trying to capitalize on in her tour and trademark filing.<\/p>\n<p>There, of course, are a few fundamental problems with this.<\/p>\n<p>For one, men who could not control their anger have rightly been seen as a dangerous force in society \u2014 historically, it has been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/roger-stone-flynn-man-movie\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">stoicism in men<\/a> that has been honored, not rage.<\/p>\n<p>If any \u201cmale rage\u201d has been honored, it was the controlled, righteous anger needed to correct an injustice, as with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/drollinger-deal-anger-biblical-way\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Christ<\/a> chasing the money-changers out of the temple.<\/p>\n<p>For another, the Bible warns against <em>unrighteous<\/em> anger and rage.<\/p>\n<p>Paul\u2019s letter to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esv.org\/verses\/Galatians%205%3A19%E2%80%9324\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Galatians<\/a> described the \u201cworks of the flesh,\u201d which include \u201cfits of anger\u201d as well as \u201cenmity, strife, jealousy,\u201d and Paul\u2019s letter to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esv.org\/verses\/Colossians%203%3A5%E2%80%938\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Colossians<\/a> instructed his recipients to \u201cPut to death therefore what is earthly in you,\u201d including \u201canger, wrath, and malice.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Christians should not celebrate or talk ceaselessly about their rage and the supposed generational wrongs done against their gender or race.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, they should \u201cput to death\u201d within themselves that kind of excessive, destructive, self-centered rage.<\/p>\n<p>By adding the \u201cfemale\u201d element to this destructive impulse, Swift was promoting a feminist mindset that sought to subvert God\u2019s creative order as described in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/biblical-logic-vs-red-pill-not-enough-anti-feminist\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Genesis<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>It might seem as if Swift was trying to co-opt a trendy phrase for her monetary benefit, but this trendy phrase was emblematic of a damaging, and un-Christian, far-left ideology.<\/p>\n<p>By now it should be abundantly clear to Christians that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/mothers-furious-dirty-lyrics-taylor-swifts-new-album-call-darkness-exposed-kids\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Taylor Swift<\/a> and the worldview she promotes are a negative influence on those seeking to live a godly life.<\/p>\n<p>Her new \u201cFemale Rage\u201d angle, elevating a destructive impulse on an intersectional pedestal, is just one more example of this.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<div>\n<p><b><i>An Important Message from Our Staff:<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><i><span>In just a few months, the world is going to change forever.
