Thank you, Lord, for our testosterone!
There’s a rising group of christian men who’s tired of being mild and quiet churchgoers. They want to be loud, raw and tough. They call themselves GodMen.
Founder of GodMen, Brad Stine says that “men are a punchline in America. Anything that’s masculine is considered misogynistic, suspect, trying to be oppressive. We’re none of those things,” according to The Christian Post.
GodMen aims to bring Christian men together to do “guy stuff,” like watching sports and having raw talks. The want to be more than Promise Keepers, USA’s largest men’s ministry. While Promise Keepers are solid, dependable men, GodMen want to be knights in shiny armor.
“The biggest thing we’re trying to give them is absolute authenticity and honesty,” said Stine, who has hosted two conferences so far in Franklin, Tenn. “You get to be real and raw. We’re flawed, we’re messed up, we’re not perfect … we are on a journey but we screw up every single day.”
“When women see that what they see is what they wanted all along - a man who believes in honesty and integrity and strength and leadership and the knight in shining armor … we’re here to be the man you wanted all along,” said Stine.
As for finding his feminine side, which men are often told to do, Stine told ABC, “I found it. I married her. I’m good. I got feminine side 24 hours a day. And I need her.

[...] I don’t know how to react to the move “Blades of Glory”, where two rival figure scating men (Will Ferrel and John Heder) are forced to work together. It’s basicly a comedy about men being humiliated. “They lock legs and hold hands, bump and grind and plant their faces in each other’s crotch. It’s hilarious and unsettling: The joke, which deftly avoids gay baiting, is on straight men,” Gina Piccalo writes in the Los Angeles Times. Ok, so the jokes on me. Maybe that’s why I’m not laughing. Then again, maybe I will laugh when I actually see the movie. I might never know. I mean, why bother? I think it’s OK that guys cringe at the thought of touching another man’s crotch. It’s OK for men to be men. I don’t need to humiliate myself because I’m not in touch with my feminine side. “I found it. I married her. I’m good. I got feminine side 24 hours a day. And I need her.” If audience reactions can be believed, there’s nothing more laughable or downright discomfiting than watching “manly” men cringe and squirm after an encounter with their soft side. And the examples grow more ridiculous by the moment. They wrestle nude (”Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan”) or rub backsides and sing about “Guy Love” (NBC’s “Scrubs”) or accidentally kiss (Super Bowl Snickers ad) or snuggle up on an air mattress (”Wild Hogs”).

[...] Much like wild horses are tamed to be useful to humans, men are broken in to suit the needs of Women. It’s a fact. They can’t have us running around like testosterone filled teenagers. That wouldn’t be practical at all. But do you know just how you’re broken in? Didn’t think so. But Angry in LA knows, and I’ve stolen the secret to reveal it to you. The systematic domestification of the human male [...]
