To those proud of it, some call it Burkesvegas.

In his days he was considered the priemer Prophet among Oneness and Trinitarian Pentecostalism. I was not there I only can go by what I have read.

Study the Frankfort school. Cultural Marxism and all that. You'll find that the destruction of the American family and the civil compact have both been by design. The long march through the institutions is complete, and cannot be undone overnight, presuming there is the public will to address an as-yet unacknowledged problem.

When he starts? Just kidding. Unfortunately this is truly between the individual and God. What is he thinking in his heart is his goal as he adopts these styles?

Those who fear God would do well to study the biological imperatives of men and examine themselves. But frankly we all need to examine ourselves for all sorts of sin, not just sin that grosses other people out or causes them to fear.

Real men accept responsibility, cultivate truthfulness as a way of life, are disciplined, are generous, brave, self-sacrificing. Real men inspire, not command, women to submit to them. Real men are not passive. Real men are self-confident, and regard female efforts to assist their understanding of "real manhood" with suspicion.

Real men strive to conduct themselves with integrity, and recognize that the most important things they will ever build are reputation and trust.
wow, very good.

Well, they've all got to be clean shaven, of course. Nothing feminine about the Grizzly Adams look!

I struggled mightily on the wording of this last one. I think I must have been attempting to make it too brief.

There is a culture war going on, and part of it involves disrupting and/or inverting the natural relationship between the sexes.

Western women cannot help but be steeped in the memes of feminism, and anymore the radical streaks of this movement are no longer hidden in the wings.

Women who do not even consider themselves feminists hold countercultural, unnatural, ungodly views without even realizing it, simply because it is impossible for them to become un-immersed in the culture. 50 years have passed since the 1960s.

Some women opine and advise men on what they should do/say/become to fit the mold of a "real man." I daresay it is rare that these women actually know. (but perhaps not among fundamentalist Christians) Even if they read my post, or other such lists, they wouldn't truly understand. It is hard to understand something that one can never become, and that also scarcely exists anymore.

Of these misguided advisors, I recommended suspicion.

There is a second type of woman, rarer still, who preys upon men who are weak-minded or not confident, and attempts to psychologically manipulate them for their own personal gain.

Of these monstrous tormentors, I now recommend evasive maneuvers.

Nature hates a vacuum, and in the absence of manly, self-confident men who assert authority I think more and more women find themselves tempted to try the second.

Some girls say things carelessly or just for fun, but aren't seriously attempting to persuade psychological changes.

How big of a factor is society in the emasculation of men?

Infinite, but I would consider the home to play the biggest role...and I would also ask: How big of a factor upon society is the emasculation of men?
