Men being Men is a Bad Deal. Guys should Evolve Beyond Masculinity. By Robert Jensen

Sunday, October 8, 2006

It's hard to be a man; hard to live up to the demands that come with the dominant conception of masculinity, of the tough guy.

For the author of this drivel

[The Spirit Of Allegiance]

BOOK: WILD AT HEART (GREAT BOOK!)



Book Description
God designed men to be dangerous, says John Eldredge. Simply look at the dreams and desires written in the heart of every boy: To be a hero, to be a warrior, to live a life of adventure and risk. Sadly, most men abandon those dreams and desires-aided by a Christianity that feels like nothing more than pressure to be a "nice guy." It is no wonder that many men avoid church, and those who go are often passive and bored to death. In this provocative book, Eldredge gives women a look inside the true heart of a man and gives men permission to be what God designed them to be-dangerous, passionate, alive, and free.

Another thing about modern culture...
What happened to feminine beauty? Women like Raquel Welch could wear a bulky jumpsuit and still be gorgeous because she had confidence that she was beautiful. Today, actresses (and many young women today), for the most part, seem to think that having atrificial enhancements and showing acres of skin are the definition of beauty. A woman's beauty comes from confidence - confidence that she is beautiful.

Also, a woman's beauty comes from her mind and her abilities. For me, I would be seriously "turned-on" by a woman who can discsuss the Austrian school of economics (among other topics) and cook. Heck, I'd walk on coals for a woman who could cook from scratch (a skill that I greatly admire). Also, a woman's beauty comes from having a good heart and, for me, a wickedly-good sense of humour.

That's an excellent point.

Oh, boy -- what an appropriate song . . . from the "anti-metrosexual" of country music. LOL!

I got to meet this gentleman today, and he was talking about how nice it was to see young people showing an interest in country music, especially classic country music.
