I didn't understand that part of what you were trying to say. Could you explain it a little different or clearer?
I believe that the difference in church attendance comes down to contemporary church services appealling more to women than to men. Also, I think looking at numbers of attendees by gender can be misleading. I think women are more likely to attend for the wrong reasons (just for the social or spiritual aspects) than men are. Men just won't show up.

The fact that you say they're "womanly" is affirmation that Christianity is a "womenly" religion rather than arguing against it.

Perhaps if more men were present in the church they'd have enough influence to produce cookouts, football after church, and anti-pot luck protests. I suppose when you dont have numbers you dont have influcence. Something to think about.

As for men skipping out; it's an all-right way to deal with the situation provided they fellowship and worship some other way.
If you want to see a great example of a great male-oriented fellowship opportunity getting flamed, there was a thread on here a day or two ago about some guys trying to start up ChristianChat CounterStrike group.
As for the worshipping part, I hear that Cowboy Churches are booming nowadays. Attendance is supposed to heavily male as well (which you'd expect). A simple message, relaxed dress code, and good hymns go a long way to making some people feel welcome and less intimdated.
