Hate to say it but Honor is kinda a girly name tbn
One of the most famous Bond Girls, Pussy Galore, was played by Honor Blackman. Not that I’m saying the name crossed his mind because he was trying to think of manly things and thought “Uh, manly… James Bond. Yum, young Sean Connery. No! Uh, women, pussy… Pussy Galore… Honor,,, honor’s a manly trait,” before going to wank over a copy of Goldfinger.
Sorry, that is actually what I’m saying.
Fox katamari. Biblical, ablaze fox katamari. Rolling through town like a party.
What else could binding 300 foxes together possibly look like?
That whole section was gold. I had to share it with my cousin who keep trying to make subscribe.
I laughed through this entire article, but John Rambo’s shopping list nearly killed me.
Sooooā¦
He brings up martyrs in that last clipping. You know why those men (and, yes, some women) were killed?
Most chose to submit and die with their faith in tact rather than betray their faith by waging war.
Also, if I were God, and I wanted everyone in the first century to listen to my message, and choose people who could spread my message too, Iād pick men also. Because, as he says, people listened to men.
Jesus also picked women as leaders. Mary Magdalene (probably not a prostitute) led all the women who followed him, and women werenāt present at a lot of events not because they werenāt there, but because they werenāt allowed in certain venues. It is explicitly the reason itās only men at the last supper.
And since weāre talking about women and Jesus, those manly men he chose famously betrayed, denied, and doubted him. They were so strong and manly they fell asleep on Passover despite Jesus begging them to just stay awake with him.
And when he was dying on the cross, only three people are mentioned being there: Mary, Mary, and John (who writes almost exclusively about emotion and love and emphasizes not fighting). Itās from John we get the story about Jesus reprimanding Peter for attacking the guards coming to take him.
And manly man Jesus at no point fights his way out of he had enough followers that he could have ordered them to break him out. But Jesus chose to die rather than spill someoneās blood.
Also, manly men like Peter broke the laws of the Bible all over the place, often at the behest of God. Peter dined with sinners that his religion forbid him from even entering their house because an angel said āgod wants you to do this to prove that reaching out is more important than every law.ā (Paraphrased)
So many bad Christians crawl back to the Old Testament to justify awful masculinity, but the entire point of the new covenant was to dispel the notion that war and fighting were the way forward.
Alsoā¦ sorry this is so long. I want to vent this stuff all the time and this seems like a safe place to do it.
I haven’t read this book, as I have not reached the appropriate level of self hatred, nor is it my job to subject myself to weapons-grade insanity, stupidity, and/or evil for the education and entertainment of the smartest and sexiest people on the internet (hello, my fellow Hotdogicansā¤ļø).
In any case, I’m going to summarize this book anyway… It’s only fair: Dale Partridge summarized Jesus with a similarly limited knowledge of the book he’s from.
Masculinity seems to be a combination of how much you hate women for the unforgivable crime of existing, and how much you glorify random violence… basically a definition even Gorians would reject for being hateful and simplistic.
Anyway, Partridge saw that many progressive and liberal Christians (as well as sane, well-adjusted adults outside the Church) reject this kind of masculinity.
Working backwards, Partridge decided that tolerant and enlightened Christians must hate Jesus (not exactly a hot take in his particular community)…and since these same people also hate toxic masculinity, Jesus must have been the biggest misogynistic, violent, ass-kickingest and ass-grabbingest meathead dude bro who ever existed.
In fact, he is so sure of this assertion that he sees no reason to provide any evidentiary support anywhere in the book he wrote on the subject… instead he wrote about other vague examples of Biblical manliness, none of which have anything to do with his central premise, along with some mannish anecdotes from his own life, and some hack MRM pseudoscience “proving” male superiority… which again, do nothing to advance the case he thinks he’s making.
Put simply, this is the closest I have ever seen to a book about literally nothing.
If it’s any consolation to Honor and Valor, they definitely don’t exist.
