Calling for “male leadership” is not misogynistic.
When I say, “A man needs to lead his family,” and “Men need to step up into leadership.” I get a lot of anger, resentment, hostility, and vitriol directed my way.
I understand that a lot of the negativity is rooted in experiences with misogynistic tyrants who ruled over their family with a case of beer and a drunken fist.
I also understand that not every family looks the same.
I am not saying that men are somehow “entitled” to “rule” over their families.
I am not saying men need to outrank women. We are n
I think the word “leadership” has a lot of negative connotations attached to it, and I think it’s time to understand that to LEAD is not to DOMINATE.
In my family, my wife and I CO-lead. There are times when I lead her, and times when she leads me.
Leadership is service. It’s responsibility. It’s influence.
It’s a GOOD thing when men embrace this with humility and with a desire to learn how to lead better.

Beck: Morning Phase |Manlihood.com Music Review
I haven’t listened to Beck in a while, and in my mind… Beck is still “Two Turntables and a Microphone” kinda crazy funky hip hop alternative stuff.
But Morning Phase is nothing of the sort. It’s got spring-loaded reverby guitars spreading space dust while a simple acoustic chord structure chugs along like a slow train to Georgia, or somewhere West, maybe.
Lots of dreamy falsetto, and it’s a big mellow pot of 70’s lite rock with lots of grunge left over from the last meal.
To me, Beck is usually a good soundtrack for skate punks and parkour… energetic and singable, with jaded lyrics. This album is what happens after those skate punks retire from skating and get hooked on percoset – then lay down in a high grass field and look at the clouds.
I LIKE it – don’t get me wrong – but it’s definitely not what I expected when I clicked “Play” on a Beck album.
What happens when a tornado (dust devil) hits a wildfire? It looks like the apocalypse
Well, it was a controlled burn, and then a dust-devil started flinging the burning debris. According to the Youtube description…
it burned an extra acre, thanks to this swirling pile of fear!
Netflix Manly Movie Night: Flyboys
If you are like me, and you enjoy a good GUY flick… but are also a cheapskate and enjoy netflix… than you’ll appreciate our Netflix Manly Movie Night features.
Flyboys stars James Franco as a country boy who enlisted with France to fly a fighter plane during World War I.
The movie isn’t certainly not Oscar winning material… but does it need to be? With lots of visually intriguing aerial battles, a bit of romance (enough that your wife or girlfriend wouldn’t mind watching it with you.) It’s also got a pet lion, and some fantastic characters, and a few tear jerking moments.
It also sparked my interest in WWI. I know very little about the Great War, as it’s the Second Great War that gets a lot of “glory” … however, there is a lot of heroism and tragedy in the history of WWI. I’m looking forward to delving a little more into history.
