Actually, the article isn't from a Christian website, so it's not an article that's attempting to promote a certain view of Christian manhood or of Jesus. In my reading of the article I didn't get the sense that it was calling men to be more sporty or wild. Some of the suggestions given in the article were that men consider using their time to serve the needy, etc. I did click over to your blog for a second and I noticed your blog post about Jesus being portrayed as asexual in the Gospels. If you're coming from that perspective (which is ridiculous and I don't think anyone can intelligently defend, the Gospels clearly present Jesus as a male), then I better understand why this manhood talk is "silly" to you. Jeff,

There is such a movement lately in reformed Christian circles (in reaction agains the feminst movement) to promote this type of hyper-masculinity, men-are-wild, Jesus-had-a-beard kind of talk. I think it is unhelpful for the male who is not sporty, wild or ruggered. I guess it is the problem with most reactionary movements. It is also sad that it limits the creations of a God who loves diversity! I find all articles and books like these silly.
