Well your problem is failing to speak for God. We should all be speaking for God if God had His way.

I don’t go for this “I yam what I yam” vision of maleness. Whether Popeye cartoons or the Village People (yeah, there is a kind of self-fetishism in it) it’s so fall-of-mankind. There was a reason Adam and Even wanted those fig leaves. And God hates it when you abuse those loin skins He substituted as yet another token of your private tuffness.

I go for “I am what I am by the grace of God” vision of maleness.

This means less macho chesty thumping and more referring to other things that are good and true and beautiful.

Did you know Jesus Christ, as the preincarnate Son, created every pretty little flower in the world? As well as the tumult of stars thousands of times larger than the sun in countless numbers in galaxies?

Maybe you’re confusing pulling out all the stops on the organ, from the delicate to the thunderously robust, all in its proper time, with being female. It isn’t. Don’t criticize others’ wideness with your narrowness as the standard.
