I think if you looked a little deeper into that quote you would find that person probably hadnt had a jump for a few years, and in order to get one's end away, it is essential for the male of the species to drop the odd porky or 2.

Thus giving the male a chance to slam on in the back of the net

lololol.

Another point. When women cry, they cry at a loudness to ensure nearby male hears. Just emotional games.

ok showing emotion can weaken you at the time, but you feel better for it after, get it out of your system and that. Im never afraid to cry and I have the utmost respect for any man who can be that in touch with his emotions and isnt embarrassed to cry in front of anyone.

Pee-Wee Herman, that strange and almost inhuman creature seen on Saturday morning TV, could hardly be called masculine. But what about Rambo--the popular, fictional, one-man war machine? Who would dare call him anything but masculine? His bulging biceps can take on an army and leave it in shambles. But is he masculine in the biblical sense?


What does it mean to be masculine? Which of the following are masculine qualities?
The ability to benchpress your own weight.
Auto grease under your fingernails.
An appetite for meat and potatoes (not quiche).
Scars from street fights.
A deep voice that utters expletives.
Treatment of women and children as slaves.
Loud, opinionated, and bigoted ideas.
Viewing women as sex objects.
A fanatical following of sports.
A refusal to cry.
A rough and gruff demeanor.
You won't get much help from a dictionary if you want to define masculinity. It will only tell you that males have masculine traits, as opposed to feminine traits. To define masculinity, you must combine the genetic distinctions as well as the God-expected distinctions.

How are men different from women? Some physical traits may come to mind. But the God-designed differences go further than external features. Men and women are different down to each and every cell of their bodies--down to the 23rd chromosome to be exact. Males and females differ physically, emotionally, psychologically, mentally, and relationally.

The male hormone testosterone affects both the way a man's body develops and the way his brain thinks. Compared to a woman, a man generally has a smaller stomach; larger lungs; 20 percent more red blood cells; 50 percent greater brute strength; a shorter lifespan; less ability to stand high temperatures; a lower heart rate; he has greater sensitivity to light but less sensitivity to sound; greater likelihood of being left-handed, dyslexic, or nearsighted; greater tendency to have allergies; greater aggressiveness; stronger sex drive; he is more easily stimulated sexually by sight; less aware of how to develop an interpersonal relationship; more logical and less intuitive.

Men and women are different inside and outside. They look, act, and think differently. Current research is discovering anatomical differences in the brain that may underlie subtle differences in mental abilities that determine verbal skills and spatial perception. (The information above was compiled from several sources, including: U.S. News & World Report, August 8, 1988; The New York Times, April 11, 1989; For Better or For Best by Gary Smalley and Steve Scott [Zondervan, 1987]; The Language of Love by Gary Smalley and John Trent [Focus on the Family, 1988].)

Is masculinity important to God? Or are we making a bigger deal of masculinity and femininity than He cares about? Hardly. From the beginning of human existence, God has had very strong views about masculinity and femininity.

In Genesis 1:27 we are told, "So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them." Masculinity and femininity were part of God's plan. Men were designed for a specific purpose.

In Genesis 2:18, God said, "It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him." Then after mentioning the animals God had created and that Adam had named, the narrative states, "But for Adam there was not found a helper comparable to him" (v.20). That comment is followed by an explanation that the man and woman were designed to marry, to cooperate, to "become one flesh" (v.24), to propagate the human race, and rule the natural world together (Gen. 1:27,28; 2:18,21-24). Adam's masculinity was somehow incomplete and undefined without a feminine human presence.

What does our present-day culture say about masculinity? Some people deny the biblical distinctions of purpose and God-designed functions and say that the only difference between masculinity and femininity is the reproductive role. Some males speak as if masculinity is a mark of superiority--while some women speak of males as the enemy.

Sex roles are being confused--and society is paying the price. Many music stars convey an androgynous image of sexuality, with men that look and act more like women. Homosexuals are fighting for acceptance, promoting their man-with-man and woman-with-woman brand of sex as an acceptable alternative lifestyle.

Another twisted concept of masculinity is expressed by those who are preoccupied with feeding their sexual urges. Pornography is spreading its poison, leaving victims addicted to fantasies, perversions, and violent sexuality. At its most basic level, masculinity has been reduced to mean nothing more than possessing male sex organs with the accompanying sex drive. But that's not the way it's supposed to be.

The Bible contains numerous warnings against sexual perversions that violate both nature and God's laws for the proper expression of our male and female sexuality. What God expects or allows for men does not include promiscuity (Ex. 20:14; Lev. 20:10; Prov. 6:24-35; 1 Cor. 6:15-20), homosexuality (Lev. 18:22; Rom. 1:26,27), or pornographic lust (Matt. 5:27,28; Col. 3:5). These activities make a male less of a man in God's eyes.

Why has masculinity taken such a beating? Romans 1 details the reason for the problem. Because of sin and idolatry, humanity's relationship with God has been broken. Verse 21 states, "Although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened." Verse 24 describes the results of that rebellion: "Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves."

Sin has permeated society. The departure from God's revealed truth has resulted in all kinds of perversions in sexuality and relationships.

Does God's idea of masculinity require marriage? Not necessarily. The single life is an acceptable option (1 Cor. 7:1,8). The original ideal in Genesis was for one man to be married to one woman. Although the Bible speaks of married life as the norm, the single life is acceptable and even preferable for some people (Matt. 19:12; 1 Cor. 7:32-35). Jesus and the apostle Paul are two examples of single men who were in God's will.

What else makes a man a man? The remainder of this booklet will discuss how God has designed men to live out their masculine distinction--by acting with servant leadership, spiritual equality, and strength of character.

Thinking It Over. What kinds of models of masculinity are being presented in today's society for young boys to follow? How have religious groups caved in to the pressures of society and allowed masculine distinctives to be blurred? How do perversions of masculine distinctives affect a woman's view of her own femininity?

I dont know if this has been said before as there are alot of pages to read through and i only have 10 mins!

I dont think that its a question of who is the better sex, but i feel that women, espesh in comtempory society have to put up with more than previously.

At one time we were expected to cook,clean, raise the roost etc and thats it. Now it would seem in addition to this we are expected to bring home a decent wage too- usually with little or no help from the male in the house. I know there are exeptions to this, and thank god we are moving to an era where housework and childcare is being passed slighlty onto the males, but i still feel that overall regardless of the womens chioce of acheiving personal sucess in the workplace she is (and expected to continue to be) the primary organiser in the house.

I can honestly say that every couple i know it is the woman who is mainly responsible for sorting out the bills, arranging appointments, most housework etc.


So i guess my views are that maybe women are the stronger sex, in that they deal with an awfull amount of pressure on a daily basis and still (try lol) to keep the ship afloat at home.

'Men have a low threshold for distraction. They are delicate. They are made nervous by having to do more than one thing at a time. They feel frazzled and angry if they have to answer three phone calls, and have a hard time settling back to work after the trauma. Women, on the other hand, develop the skill of doing many things at once. They tuck the phone in between their shoulders and their ears, hold a baby on one hip, stir a pot on the stove, all the while thinking about an idea for a story. They don’t think it’s unfair to have to do this. They think it’s normal.'

I think Cam is perhaps meaning the fake lesbos that seem to be endemic at the mo, the ones who lez it up to get male attention.

I guess unless its real then its not sexy.
