Nancy Pearcey and I discuss the complexities of masculinity in modern culture, particularly focusing on the misconceptions surrounding Christian men and their roles in society.
We explore the disconnect between societal perceptions of masculinity and the reality of Christian men's behavior, highlighting studies that show they are often more loving and engaged. The discussion also delves into the body-person divide, Gnosticism, and the implications of transhumanism on identity. Pearcey emphasizes the importance of understanding gender differences and the struggles men face today, advocating for compassion and a more nuanced view of masculinity.
ON THIS SHOW, WE DISCUSS: - Christian men often exhibit lower levels of abuse and divorce. - Sociological studies show evangelical men are more engaged fathers. - The secular narrative often misrepresents masculinity as toxic. - Men are caught between two competing scripts of masculinity. - Empathy for men's struggles is essential in today's society. - The body-person divide affects how we view identity and worth. - Gnosticism has influenced modern views on the body and personhood. - Transhumanism raises questions about the future of identity. - The impact of Title IX has led to a gender imbalance in education. - Public opinion is shifting against male-bodied individuals in women's sports.
