…No? That’s literally the exact opposite of what the biblical God expects of men.
Jesus says that men should be compassionate, selfless, giving, and loving. That they should help orphans & widows, the sick & injured, people in prison and even… foreigners.
Christianity has been invaded & commodified for even more horrific purposes. And I could not be more disappointed in anyone who believes this slop. Because the ones who believe this are the ones who never read the Bible and takes everything at face value.
And a pastor or someone successful claiming to be a “Christian” would never lie! Right? …RIGHT???
They can no longer discern the wolves from their flock, and God will not have mercy on them.
I’m gonna steel-man this. I don’t think that being “hard” means being an asshole. It can mean having strength of character. Courage in the face of fear, that kind of thing. You can be that kind of hard and also be compassionate.
Having said that, it is pretty shitty to assign that to a gender. Anybody of any gender can have a strong character. Also, I haven’t read the article this is referring to, so it could be full of toxic masculinity for all I know.
You can be sensitive while also being bold. You can be kind while also being firm. You can be helpful while also being strong.
None of these things cancel each other out.
Unfortunately, the shittiness of “BEING A HARD MAN” typically embodies a lot of shitty stereotypes about “”“masculinity”“”: must limit your emotions, never apologize even if you’re wrong, don’t do “”“girly/sissy”“” things, etc. It’s garbage.
A man who lets his nieces paint his nails and isn’t ashamed of that isn’t less of a man. A man who cries during romantic movies isn’t less of a man. You know the drill.

Hallelujah, holy shit.
A truly devout Christian would work alongside Marxists as they have similar goals
