I like to think of myself as a testosterone infused sack of passions but I am positively liberated compared to this guy.<br /><br />Out of context some of this makes a little sense. Keeping ones word, knowing when to be firm and when to be gentle, not being ruled by ones emotions, these are good things for both genders and are among the things I teach my son about being manly. <br /><br />However in context they for one don't make any sense thanks to the incoherant and incompetent writing style. More importantly in context they do not provide a model for manliness but rather a model for being a souless steryotype of a man. The kind of patriarchal, self important abusive asshole that I thought only existed in trailer parks and the 19th century.Rykhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16424545934239146403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1334761054277672365.post-11371551978396608962010-03-06T17:21:51.201-05:002010-03-06T17:21:51.201-05:00This post has completely stripped me of all my mas...This post has completely stripped me of all my masculinity.

Adam messed up ...WTF, does he even read the bible?<br /><br /><b>Adam messed up soon after. He fails to protect his wife, because he is a coward. He then blames his wife and in doing so he relinquishes his masculinity. Notice that after giving up his masculinity he quickly falls into lusting after his wife, which is why they have to cover themselves – to protect themselves from the lust of the other.</b><br /><br />Let's actually look at the Bible:<br /><br /><i>When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it. Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.<br /><br />Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the LORD God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the LORD God among the trees of the garden. But the LORD God called to the man, "Where are you?"<br /><br />He answered, "I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid."<br /><br />And he said, "Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?"<br /><br />The man said, "The woman you put here with me—she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it."<br /><br />Then the LORD God said to the woman, "What is this you have done?"<br /> The woman said, "The serpent deceived me, and I ate."<br /><br />So the LORD God said to the serpent, "Because you have done this,<br /> "Cursed are you above all the livestock<br /> and all the wild animals!<br /> You will crawl on your belly<br /> and you will eat dust<br /> all the days of your life.<br /><br />And I will put enmity<br /> between you and the woman,<br /> and between your offspring and hers;<br /> he will crush your head,<br /> and you will strike his heel."<br /><br />To the woman he said,<br /> "I will greatly increase your pains in childbearing;<br /> with pain you will give birth to children.<br /> Your desire will be for your husband,<br /> and he will rule over you."<br /><br />To Adam he said, "Because you listened to your wife and ate from the tree about which I commanded you, 'You must not eat of it,'<br /> "Cursed is the ground because of you;<br /> through painful toil you will eat of it<br /> all the days of your life.<br /><br />It will produce thorns and thistles for you,<br /> and you will eat the plants of the field.<br /><br />By the sweat of your brow<br /> you will eat your food<br /> until you return to the ground,<br /> since from it you were taken;<br /> for dust you are<br /> and to dust you will return."<br /><br />Adam named his wife Eve, because she would become the mother of all the living. <br /><br />The LORD God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife and clothed them.</i><br /><br />The only thing he got right was Adam blamed it on Eve. Where the hell is the talk of lust or any of the other crap he is babbling on about? <br /><br />He lies about the Bible and we are supposed to believe him when it comes to things we can't check on?BeamStalkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17772110446629492132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1334761054277672365.post-21095169969494133962010-03-05T10:48:58.611-05:002010-03-05T10:48:58.611-05:00Fathers are portrayed as blundering idiots in medi...<i>Fathers are portrayed as blundering idiots in media</i><br /><br />Actually, men have been portrayed as idiots in advertising for a loooong time now. In fact, in commercials where there are a man and woman, over 90% of the time, the man is made to look less intelligent than the woman (even if the target audience is men).<br /><br />I wouldn't say it's an attack on masculinity, though. It seems to be a horribly flawed overcompensation for gender inequality. "Women make less than men for equal work, but in commercials, they always get one up!" Great, I'm sure women everywhere are content with <i>that</i> victory.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1334761054277672365.post-62008901545410195872010-03-05T10:40:21.491-05:002010-03-05T10:40:21.491-05:00a) You missed the boat.

Masculinity is a <i>scalene</i> triangle.<br /><br />b) If I imitated sitcoms, my NYC apartment would be the size of Monica and Rachel's on <i>Friends</i>. If you ever come to NYC and see an apartment that size in the Village/USQ area (where they were supposed to live), you will be standing in the apartment of a multi-millionaire, not a non-celebrity chef and a waitress.<br /><br />c) I will give the guy this: he's not categorically blaming Eve for the downfall of humanity. OTOH, he's also basically saying that Eve can't act on her own as an adult.Cynical Nymphhttp://cynicalnymph.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
