From Toxic Masculinity to Confused Masculinity

For a long time the identity of a man has been under assault.

In 2019, Gillette stepped out of their business to address what they believed should be the end of toxic masculinity.

They address in a short gut punch men as barbaric, insolent, fighters with an insatiable appetite for sex and bullying.

The good ol’ boys club rules were in full effect.

They failed to mention that men while they account for the larger portion of the workforce also bear some of the most dangerous jobs leading to men suffering 93% of workplace fatalities.

They fail to mention that 97% of combat fatalities are men.

They fail to mention 79% of all homicides victims are male

They fail to mention that 60% of fathers with no parental rights are paying child support for a child they may never see.

They fail to mention 80% of all completed suicides are men.

Since the production of the Gillette commercial our society has descended into a veritable tailspin of confusion.

As wokeism creeps into every corner of our society, it is necessary now to address the true identity of a man, causing the slumbering to awaken, and those manning the towers to fully commit to rising to the occasion bringing to life once more biblical men who will combat the confusion that now exists.

Toxic masculinity and confused masculinity proceed from an erred understanding of what a man is supposed to be.

Men need to wake from their slumber and commit to their God-given identity.

God created man and formed him according to His purposes.

Assigns him to work the garden

Assigns him to name all the animals

Assigns him to steward over all of creation.

It is not good for man to be a alone

Perfect helps; His perfect balance: no animal could suffice (Fido cannot be your perfect fit)

Woman was made and called his perfect partner

oneness together

alone they are incomplete

Society tells us different

Men grunt, scratch places, and do gross things

Cartoons tell us adult men are stupid and cannot accomplish anything

Social media tells us that being a man is intrinsically bad.
