Well said LandShark!
I have a much different idea of what "be a man" means than what's in the video.
I'm lucky enough to have a good father who has shown me what "be a man" is...
- Respect for authority
- Ambition / HARD WORK
- Bravery / standing up for what is right
- self-discipline
- The ability to make decisions and take responsibility whatever the outcome
- Loving, caring for, and leading your wife. (wife = woman... not a man, because a man marries a woman)
- Loving, Providing for, and leading your family
- Humbly serving God and seeking to be more like him
I don't think it's fair to tack onto manhood stories of psychological bullying or abuse... "be a man" is not the problem behind that.
Boys are hardened into men when they mature so they can protect and provide for their family.
This is vital to a healthy family structure. When manhood breaks down, the family structure goes with it.
And, once the family structure breaks down society is a mess!
