How is CS Lewis thought to be sexist? I thought that the way he dealt with Lucy's character and her insights would dispel that. I admit I don't know a whole lot about the guy. Meh.
People labelling actions/ideas as "un-Christian" have cropped up quite a bit lately in the US. It seems to be mostly in response to the evangelical movement here and people trying to define what Christianity should be for those people. It isn't always unbelievers, but it's also those who are Christian and yet oppose a certain brand of Christianity. Liberal/progressive protestants and conservative evangelicals seem to delight in telling the other that they are wrong wrong wrong and they make baby Jesus cry and suchlike. It's died down since the last presidential election, but I still see it much more often than I did, say eight years ago.
