Thank you, Scot, for adding your voice to this. It appears TGC has a scapegoat in this, and it does appear to be image management instead of true change of listening to women. I agree with your quote: “For them, TGC is top form in the evangelical world. For many of us, instead, it is one recent facet of the evangelical world. There are many thinkers on marriage with different worldviews and the TGC does not interact with, actually listen to, or learn from the give and take of such worldviews. Instead, it polemicizes against feminism and egalitarianism. The moment that book exited that siloed worldview it drew fire. The surprise of those in that world precisely reveals the silo itself.”

This is a serious discussion that has many consequences for the real lives of women and their agency and their bodies (and the control of such) and this part of the apologetic bon-apology really bothered me: “we want to produce content...” Talking theology on such an influential platform is a heck of a lot more than just cranking out content and getting page views. Just a gross way to describe what they're doing over at TGC. They might as well use AI.
