I am in the great white north in Canada, and we tell men to go behind the barn and holler until they lose any effeminate voice they might have. In -40 cold, too!

Now that's awesome!

I visited a church that had a "hunting club" once. It was great. These guys were really into Biblical manhood. And the women were sweet as pie... and tough as nails. lol Everything seemed in place.

My old church before we moved has a annual hunting night where the guys (and gals if they are into it) come in wearing their camo and their favorite gun(s) and do nothing but talk hunting.

So many apostolics have been forced to participate in the apostolic mating ritual which involves running the isles in church, including when the preacher is preaching, as their sole means of attracting the opposite sex. It is right out of an old Crocodile Hunter episode. "And now we have this fine lad running in front of the pretty Shela's saying 'look at me! look at me! Look how I worship. Look how many services I attend!'. Crikey!".

Re: How feminine is too feminine?

One of the BEST things you can do to help someone you may think is suffering from this malady is to spend quality time with them.

Don't make them your pet project-- make them your friend, and not just for a little while.

A huge part of Biblical Christianity is interpersonal relationships (I would use the word fellowship, but that word has become synonymous with Sunday evening gatherings at the local restaurant after service.)

Fellowship is so much more than time spent in the same building gorging on the Cracker Barrell dinner special!



Create opportunities for the building of interpersonal relationships that encourage the development of masculinity and positive male bonding-- remembering to keep a meek spirit (if possible) so as to not further damage (or intimidate) that person's masculine identity.



All sorts of people hide in the church.
It's somewhat warm and safe.

Help create the atmosphere in your church where real people can be real with their issues so they can truly repent, overcome and be healed.
