Me personally I think there is a war on manhood. But not in a discrimination type of way or violating men's rights. It's more of a brainwashing men through media and television to be more feminine and soft. In the old days men had no problem taking the leadership role in their marriage and their households. This is the biblical way of doing things. Now it's pretty much cliche' for men to joke about being scared of their wives, or being put on the couch or in the dog house if their wife get's mad at them. Men will playfully joke about how they fear their wives, etc etc. Their seems to have been a role reversal here in the US if you know what I mean. These days it is the societal norm for the woman to be the dominant person in a marriage or relationship. And I place part of the blame on media and television.
My theory is a part of the reason for this role reversal in American society is because media and televisoon tend to brainwash men into believing that the guy that sleeps with all the women and leads a promiscuous lifestyle is something to be admired and to aspire to be. This causes men to place too much value on getting in a woman's pants and causes men to almost worship the female genitalia. It makes men think that her vajayjay is a prize to be won over and they think getting sex from women is what makes you a man. I personally believe that this carries over into relationships. While women have been scientifically proven to have higher sex drives then men, men tend to be the ones that always want sex from the woman because they have been brainwashed by television and media to place much value on a woman's prized posession below the belt. The woman sees that the man will do anything for the v jay jay, and she often uses this as a way to controll him and have the upperhand in a relationship or marriage. When in reality women have higher sex drives than men.
Am I wrong about this? I'm not saying that I am better than these men. I am just saying that society has a way of brainwashing people and taking people away from doing things the biblical way, Which is the right way and the healthy way.
Also, to me Jesus was a picture of true masculinity that every man should aspire to be like. We need to raise our little boys in my opinion from the scriptures, not what society deems politically correct. To me the bible not only teaches us right from wrong, but teaches men how to be real men and women how to be real men. But I think even the church culture has become somewhat feminized and contributed to the feminization of Chrsitian men. My opinion is that when men go to church they want to learn something new, get practical advice, while many of these churches now days are preaching emotional feel good sermons, or false prosperity gospels. Often times in these churches there are very few men that choose to attend. And if they do it is because there wife dragged them there and they don't really want to be there. Then you have some churches that are filled with women and very few men, while the preacher is shouting a bunch of emotional mumbo jumbo getting the church into an emotional frenzy when the things they are shouting have no basis in scripture. Can anyone else identify with this?
