The title of this post was shared by my masculine husband as a good definition of manliness.
I Googled it and started reading up on Doug Wilson since we were discussing him in that conversation, and then I stumbled upon this article, linked to above.
It mentions how we're made to dance... we do not really dance, but the image of how beautiful it is to see a man and woman ballroom dancing is lovely. A man leading to showcase the woman's beauty. Nice imagery!
Effeminate traits in men are not good. Thinking like a female rather than a male, or physical weakness, are obvious traits that don't make anyone think 'he's manly!', but there is more to it than that. Those characteristics are important, don't get me wrong. I love how strong my husband and son are. The physical strength of men is by God's design and it is something to encourage and praise. Thinking like a man is critical. Goodnight, women are complex and the over-analyzing many of them engage in is wearisome.
But I digress--back to men and what masculinity is!
Read on!
great book to get started weight lifting, but there are a few unsavory words
