I'm sad to see another good blog get mothballed.
There now plenty of blogs and other online places that defend men and masculinity - but some (not all) by attacking women as a group.
There are places that tell men gpod reasons why they should not get married - but many of them encourage men to go ahead and fornicate.
There are "father's rights" and "men's rights" bloggers.
There are plenty of "Christian" or "conservative" blogs encouraging men to marry and procreate (and casting suspicion on those who don't), and blaming men for most, if not all, of the sufferings and discontents of women, and placing (almost) all of the blame on husbands for anything a woman sees as a problem in marriage.
But Biblical Manhood has been a thought-provoking place that first and foremost called on men to follow Christ. The blogger skillfully applied the Scriptures to defend masculinity, men, and being unmarried, often exposing the problems in some of the statements made on some major Christian websites and some cultural problems in general.
I hope the blog is left intact, unlike some other good ones that have been deleted. I will be moving it in the column on the right, since it will no longer be updated.
Keeping a blog going can be challenging. We all should have our priorities, and when blogging interferes with more important matters, or the topic has run its course, then stopping makes sense. But that doesn't stop me from missing some bloggers who have left.
A look at the world from a sometimes sarcastic, tongue-in-cheek, decidedly American male perspective. Lately, this blog has been mostly about gender issues, dating, marriage, divorce, sex, and parenting via analyzing talk radio, advice columns, news stories, religion, and pop culture in general. I often challenge common platitudes, arguments. and subcultural elements perpetuated by fellow Evangelicals, social conservatives. Read at your own risk.

Please no "cussing" or profanities or your comment won't be published. I have to approve your comment before it appears. I won't reject your comment for disagreement - I actually welcome disagreement. But I will not allow libelous comments (which is my main reason for requiring approval) and please try to avoid profanities. Thanks!
