Just 4 men is a blog created to inspire men ( and the women who love them! )to wholesome, purposeful and life fulfilling living.
I have refused to get involved in the battle of the sexes as my years of engagement reveals many men and women are dysfunctional,so it's hypocrisy to point fingers.
Parenting, social constructs,gender norms, culture,media etc are all guilty of telling 4 year olds boys to "be a man", "man up", "suck it up", "real men don't cry" etc.
So we create emotionless, angry , aggressive, wild men who will inflict horrendous pain on the society they live in.
When we define love as weakness to boys,we shut down their capacity to connect with themselves and the world around them.we create emotionally deficient men who would abuse women eventually.
It is humanly impossible to shut down your emotions which causes a disconnect between your heart and your head and not have problems relating with people.
If it is weakness and feminine to care,emphathise,cry, and show affection then how do women expect men to manufacture these traits in our interface with them?
Mothers everywhere I go have admitted to also saying "be a man and real men don't cry to their sons",so why are men being judged for " who we created.
Both sides are guilty of raising the quality of men we have in our world today, the earlier we stop trading blames and start the process of overhauling the better for us all.
Remember our daughters will have to coexist with the quality of men our society produced,so if we love our daughters,we will raise mature and responsible men.

God chose us before the foundation of the world to be holy and without blame before Him in love, and predestined us to be accepted in His presence. It’s part of what His righteousness in our spirits has produced for us; we can boldly stand in the presence of God without guilt, inferiority or condemnation.
No matter where you’ve been, what you’ve done, how deep in the thraldom or valley of sin you’ve been, you’re accepted in Christ Jesus. You don’t have to run from God, because of your sins. Imagine His gracious invitation in Isaiah 1:18; He said, "Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool." He’s not mad at you. Submit to His righteousness. Embrace His love. Trust Him with your life, and He’ll make your life glorious.
Now that you’re born again, you’re in Christ; He’s already accepted you; you’re in Him. You dwell in His presence. In His presence, you’re at liberty; you don’t have to be afraid; you’re free to express yourself and be yourself. You’re at liberty to function for Him and live for Him.
Some people are still living their lives in hope that God will accept them based on their good works. But that’s not going to work! The Bible says, "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast" (Ephesians 2:8-9). Furthermore, Galatians 2:16 says, "...by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified"; that means accepted and declared righteous before God!
You don’t have to feel insecure or uncertain about your standing with God. Be bold, confident, assured and glad that you belong to Him; that He brought you into oneness with Himself.
