Rediscovering the Secret of a Man's Soul

There is a new tactic in the war.

Have you heard about television today? It's called "Queer Eye For the Straight Guy". It is a reality show where gay men come into a normal man's life and help him with grooming techniques, interior design, cooking, culture, and personal style. (From what I've heard these homosexual advisors accomplishes a pretty good job and the man's life does improve in an outward sense of style.) HOWEVER, it is evident to me there is an underlining agenda to the show: Homosexual are redefining and giving this world the impression of what a man should be and society is buying into it.

Feminists have long expounded the view that women should deviate from their roles as mothers and wives AND get away from the oppression of men. This movement is dangerous because it drives a wedge between men and women from their God-given roles.

During the 80's I've heard many shows use words like 'pigs', 'insensitive' and 'sex feign' to describe men. So, society in the clutches of the enemy, have pounded man into a pulp on certain things that are true of any sinful man.

Also with social commentaries and books telling how men should understand women more it created this mythos-concept that masculine men are so out-of-tuned with women they need a total re-educational course on masculinity. Men who are opinionated, and rough have been slowly reduced to quiet worm-boys. Men cannot have their guns or hunt because men were so 'environmentally insensitive', men cannot fight a war because they were 'warmongers' and the list goes on and on.

With homosexuality becoming more of the accepted norm, homosexual men are admired ABOVE the heterosexual community as more stylish, sensitive, and more attuned to women because of their own effeminate nature. Dave Beckman, a renowned soccer player is now the ideal 'metrosexual' - a heterosexual man with the grooming habits of a gay man. In many consumer trends men are buying more health products and vanity related material than ever. One of the greatest growth trends in plastic surgery is for men.

Yet, nowhere are there any social commentaries lifting bold masculinity found in movie characters portrayed by Russel Crowe (Gladiator), or Mel Gibson (We were Soldiers, Braveheart).

What is contrastingly different in above mentioned characters compared to pretty boys is the CHARACTER of a man.

Courage, honor, integrity and faith is the heartbeat of a man that is held in grace by a man's faith and love for our Lord Jesus. A nation of pretty boys or worm boys will not stand up the likes of a Saddam, much less the devil himself. We, as a society, have forgotten the all encompassing values of a man: his character. Men, we will not win this cultural war and assault on God's design of manhood unless we exemplify our Lord Jesus Christ.

We must walk near Him and not allow our society to intimidate or refashion us.

We were created to be Dangerous for Good. We were created for God.



I would say today:

Men, it is better to be daring and inspire men like a William Wallace than it is to be caught up in whether you can still catch the eye of a woman like Austin Powers.

Men, it is better to tell the truth and pay the enormous price of living a life of integrity than having a color-coordinated home.

Men, it is better to courageous and inspire a platoon of young men to fight for freedom than to know the latest trends in men's fashion or how to exfoliate skin.

Men, it's better to die for something right than to live a life of compromise.

Men, it's even ok to go hunt (AND HAVE YOUR DIESEL GUZZLING V-8 HOT-BLOODED AMERICAN SUV) and bring back that "yeahhhh" cry of knowing you conquered your environment and your prey. : )

We do have something to conquer: it's our sin and the enemy.


Dangerous for God and Good...


Gordon

Gordon,
    I am now stupider for having read your diatribe.  I don't even know where to begin. You are so very, very, wrong.

1.)  I guess you can take a guy out of the assembly, but you can’t take the assembly out of a guy.  I see that your intolerance has not been harmed by the falling stones of assembly life.

2.)  Yes, genius, there is an underlying agenda to the show.  You may not believe this, but everyone has an agenda for every action committed-good or bad.


3.)  Where would we be without a little traditional chauvinism?  If women deviate from their roles as wife and mother, then they are deviating from God's plan?  I don't know about you Gordon, but I like well-educated, professional, and smart women.  I guess some of us still need the barefoot and pregnant types  running around to feel comfortable in our manhood, though.

4.)  When did being environmentally sensitive become a bad thing?  Since Gordon doesn't believe in leaving a clean, healthy, and viable planets for future generations, I propose we all go poop on his lawn at 6 AM on Friday morning….  I'm tired of flushing anyway.


5.)  As far as war goes, I feel you should be free to commit suicide at anytime you want to, Gordon.  However, we do have laws against murder.  It's strange that you speak of war in the same run-on sentence as love for the Lord Jesus.  If you understand agendas so well, you might examine the capitalist profit making agenda served so well by every major war after  World War II.  You might look at  how the corporate owned media pushes their war propaganda at the middle and lower class citizens.  We are so scared of war and violence and black people raping our women, it's hard to leave the house without a gun.  It's funny how the crime rate has decreased by 20% in the last ten years, yet the media coverage of violent crimes has increased by 500%.  Next time you want to go to war to be "masculine", you might think about all the innocent women and children that die from U.S. bombing in our fight to “free” Iraq.

6.)  Homosexual men are not "admired above heterosexual men".  However, at this rate, Gordon, you’ll drive all the women away from us by Christmas(my favorite holiday!).


7.)  It is possible to have courage, honor, integrity, and faith while still maintaining good grooming habits-without being gay. Why must we "pay the enormous price of living a life of integrity" in a house with colors that clash?  I'm sorry it's such a strain for you, Gordon, but some of us are able to do two things at the same time.  Try flushing and putting the lid down-with practice, you could have it down in no time.

8.)  "Masculinity" is a trait associated with a person's gender, not their sex.  We don't all need to be overweight, loud, rough, farting war lovers to be a man.


9.)  If you are so interested in the “cultural war" perhaps you might be interested in the class war that is waged daily in the U.S.  The lower and middle classes are duped into promoting the interests of the upper class through education, religion, and the media.  A little Marx might do you some good.  Unless of course, you are too interested in the “gay” topic to be dissuaded.  

Whenever you decide, Gordon, please never, ever, ever write anything as ill informed as this again.

Gordon,

Steve is right.  It is time for you to emulate Mel Gibson, (Willaim Wallace), and shout something.  Your name perhaps?

Thomas Maddux

Tom,
    I not sure to how to explain it any better-but here goes.

Gender= The behavioral, cultural, or psychological traits typically asociated with one's sex.

Sex=Either of the two forms of individuals that occur in many species and that are distinguishable as male or female.

The expectation of masculinity thus falls under the catagory of a gender expectation rather than some trait generally associated with being a male.  It is a common misconception to confuse the latter with the former.

Caan,

If you are correct, the authors of Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary seem to be among the confused.

Under gender it says SEX.  The other meaning is the one from grammar.  The example sentence says "black divinities of the feminine gender".

I am familiar with the use of gender as you have used it.  It is sort of a mixture of the sociological term "role" and the rhetoric of the feminist and homosexual crowds.

The idea that they try to push is that people just have an inner "gender" that may cause them to hanker after, or wish to be, persons of the same or opposite sex, or even both.

What they hope to accomplish by this is the full legal and social acceptance of their perversions.

The fact is that people who have a male or female body, but have strong desires that are inconsistant with what they are, are severely dysfunctional at the very least.

Those who take the next step and act upon those desires, have given themselves to destructive sins.  They devestate themselves, their associates, and have a severely deliterious effect on society as a whole.

Do I exxagerate?  Remember, that millions of Americans have died or will die of AIDS.  The costs of their care is tremendous.  

  These are the folks who have spread it to the Western world.  Most AIDS cases are contracted by male homosexual contact.  The "transgendered" crowd then spreads it to prostitutes and girlfriends, sometimes wives.  Most prostitutes are drug addicts, so they spread it through the needle sharing.

The saddest thing of all is when it is passed to a child.  They must die a horrible death after just a few years of life.  I agree that this is a "sin worthy of death".

Calling Gordon a "Chauvinist" is a poor substitute for arguments supporting your postiton.  Just claiming to be "environmentally sensitive" doesn't really say anything.  Besides, maybe Gordon is a member of the Sierra Club.  Who knows?

Thomas Maddux

Just a side note, not to distract from the discussion.


According to the British pronunciation rules the above would then be an "agender".

The British have a unique pronunciation rule: if there is an "r" in the word then you do not pronounce it, but you always add an "r" to end of a word that ends in "a".
E.g.
Gordon would be pronounced Gaudon
Canada would be pronounced Canader

Marcia

Are you saying that the gay/feminist crowd has a hidden agender?

 

Thomas Maddux

Yes! You've got it!
