The Role Of The Man!

You're not getting much traffic on this topic, are you Jason?

Christianity has been predominately female for centuries. Like it or not, we Apostolics have that in common with the Catholics, Anglicans, Lutherans etc.

Somebody here linked to an article recently that discussed the reasons why Christianity doesn't appeal to masculine men, and the reasons why the church has become feminized.

Modes and songs of worship have become feminized. The entire church experience is designed to provide a sense of security and comfort; it's designed to appeal to women. The rare opportunities for a masculine man to participate in leadership are usually already filled by the pastor, his family, and the church board. So just like in higher education, the masculine men decide, somewhat rightly so, that it's not geared for them, there's no place for them to grow, and they opt out and find something more engaging to do with their time.

The Muslims and the Greek Orthodox church have greater male involvement, but both of these faiths also preach total male dominion of the home and marriage(s).

Your more rowdy men are also opting out of marriage, since our feminized American society gives women the upper hand. Wives don't need to commit themselves to making their marriages work like they used to, since they know they can fall back on the full force of the law and the courts to coerce men into conforming to their wishes. Men, choose your wives carefully . . .
