The Christian Fear of the Feminine The Christian Fear of the Feminine: " An excerpt from an interview with Stephen J. Ducat: BuzzFlash: You're drawing a parallel between the extreme right wing in the United States and the Islamic fundamentalists, in that they are both highly fearful of overbearing feminine influence? ---- Stephen J.
