Doug Wilson’s Use of Insults and Derision

Analysis of Wilson’s frequent use of insult, ridicule, and derision as rhetorical tools, and whether such speech aligns with biblical instruction.

“The word is skubalon, and means in the first place some kind of animal excrement . . . we simply cannot imagine the lofty sentiment of this wonderful passage (e.g., the ‘excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord’) functioning in the same sentence with dog s***. But there it is—Paul has scraped all self-important, prim and proper, fussy-tidy religion off the bottom of his shoe. Why? That he might win Christ.” — Doug Wilson (original unredacted)

“It is not to choose women over men—it is to choose women over the rule of law. And so it is that a large army of singularly unattractive and b****y women have come to have any authority in our culture at all. How is that possible? Men go along because of fear.” — Doug Wilson (original unredacted)
