One first-order problem today is not that masculinity is toxic but that many men are emasculated and not masculine enough.
Masculine Men are providers and protectors. Emasculated men are self-serving, angry, and fearful, under the presented image of “Nice.” Masculine men understand both their call and their limits. Emasculated men point out problems but then shirk at taking responsibility to make necessary solutions.
Masculine men rightly work to make life better but get rightly angry at injustice, yet are not angry men.
Emasculated men are simmering with anger, directed at the inconvenience of difficult people or hard tasks. Masculinity necessarily offends yet speaks and lives truthfully. Emasculin-ity apologizes for offending and lets the enemies win.
God Created men Male, which is different and distinct from the femininity of female. Redemption in Christ Jesus doesn’t change this, it reasserts this. Masculinity is not toxic, it is good and blessed.
