Welcome!

Welcome to my new blog! I suppose I should start off by introducing myself a bit. My name is Kevin. I'm a white (whatever that means), heterosexual male. As of this post, I am 22 years old. I am a recent college graduate. I stand at about 6'2" (187 cm for the rest of the world). I am chaotic-neutral. Lastly, I am a Christian.

If you, male/female/some-where-in-between, are looking for any of the following:

• A whiny men's rights blog,
• Bro talk,
• Advice on how to make unwanted advances on women,
• Penile enhancement,
• Misandry,
• Euphoria,
• Fat/slut/age/etc. shaming,

...then you are in the wrong place. In this blog, I will certainly touch on most, if not all, of those topics in the future, but I'm just flying by the seat of my pants at the moment. As of yet, there are no guarantees. But what you will find are my opinions, and I mean my opinions*, on what masculinity means and the role of men in in modern society. I do not call myself one, but you will find that I do not differ greatly from the typical ideals of most feminists. I will cover many topics relating to masculinity ranging from simply vapid to deeply esoteric. I will make commentary on social change and societal norms, but I will also share some of the things that make me feel like a man in a modern context.

You may also find that I derive many of my ideas of masculinity from my religion. I am a fairly liberal Christian, but I do think that the actions of Christ Himself speak volumes about how God intended men to conduct themselves. I won't spoil too much, but it may look a lot different than what you might expect.

Let me be very clear. I wish not to lay out a list of rules for men to follow in order to be manly, or to insinuate that men who do not fit my standards are not manly enough. Manliness is subjective. Masculinity is likewise. In even the most virulent masculine media, one can find a slew of inconsistencies on what men think is manly. I only stand to help create a safe place for logical and reasonable discussion of the role of men in modern society.

I also wish to point out that women are welcome and encouraged to take part in this discussion. A discussion without varying points of view is nothing but nonsensical chatter. I hope to hear (read) opinions of women on the modern role of men.

Lastly, in all that I am and all that I wish to be, I hope to set a good example for others who are or who aspire to be the same things as I. If I want people to respect me as a man or respect manhood in general, I must act respectably. I represent all of my cultures, ascribed and avowed, by my outward actions.

I look forward to new discussions, good or bad. They're all entertaining to some degree.

Best wishes!
