Hannah McCann made the following statement: “when, really, women are made unsafe through wider structural institutions like the nuclear family”. We need to pay attention to this because Hannah is declaring her underlying agenda – she, and others like her, are at war with the traditional family. I wonder how she comes to this conclusion? Is seems to be a ridiculous point of view but, if I am understanding the things going on, many share her views in this post-Christian society we are rapidly becoming.
What frightens me is that in this new post-Christian world, is it going to be people like Hannah who decide what is morally unacceptable and what should be legislated against? Do I want to live in a world defined by this point of view? Frankly, no.
