    sigh

    There is nothing wrong with a female coming into the male section asking the brothers a legitimate question

    I would say that the perspective is a bit eurocentric too. But I would probably take a different spin. I would say that there are men. . .and males who have not quite matured into men.

    We have spoken about this before. Many of us are males who have been raised by a generation of women. Many don't know quite how to be men. . .they only know how to be taken care of and coddled to.

    Great goals to shoot for, but remember a man is but dust until he is reborn spiritually by the holy spirit. I applaud your work but let's not forget without God we are as dust.

    I can agree with these differences....Bro. Ramey is a Christian man and his teachings come from that perspective and Biblically.

    Even those who are non-Christian will most likely find some points in this they can agree with as well.

    I can identify with Bro. Ramsey's post. There are some good points there.

    I realize that we are all works in progress. Some are there, some are in process of getting there.

    I get tired of the question, at times. Genetically, Im male. A man?
    Eh. I leave that for others to decide, because the criteria varies. Im not gonna second-guess myself, engage in self -doubt or get into wild self-promotion.

    I think what's more important is that I remain vested in our families, our communities and our world.
