I focus a lot on controversial issues and sometimes criticize the alt-right, manospherians, who are doing what I perceive to be an atrocious job of representing men. It is somewhat funny that I consider this so offensive, but part of that is because I am rather fond of men as a group and I have high standards and great expectations. It was actually men who have taught me so much about grace and strength and truth and beauty, men deeply flawed and human, but so clearly possessing higher selves. What’s not to love there?
Anyway, for a change of pace from the lunkheads, there are so many men who actually get it right, so many who are genuinely leading, so many that fill me with hope and admiration. I can’t possibly list them all, so I’ll just post some of my favorites, those bloggers who focus on issues around masculinity, empowerment, culture, and relationships. They are like a breath of fresh air and also some wonderful writers.
The Better Man Projects. Evan. He’s written so many beautiful things, but one of my favorites was his Of Oracles and Strong Women.
Must Be This Tall Ride , Matt Just delightful, honest, poignant, powerful. He’s just written a post called The Death of Manhood.
Culture Monk, Kenneth, and he’s actually just released a book, so check it out. It’s a novel called The Culture
Blog and Mablog, Doug Wilson, who has also written several books himself. He has some fun wordsmithery and also a good understanding of scripture.
There are many, many others, some I visit less frequently due to time restraints. There are still others, women too, bloggers who delight me daily with their wisdom, but these four pursue some of my favorite things, intersections between culture, masculinity, and faith.
Blog and Mablog – love the name. Thanks for sharing, I’ll check them out.

The comments section can get a bit harsh over there, but the posts themselves are often enlightening.

The link to “The Death of Manhood” isn’t working for me. I’ll go the long way around, but just thought I’d mention it in case it needs fixing.

Must Be This Tall To
Ride is the exact thing men need right now, its the truth red pillers, rad trads and all who want marriages to still be relevant need, you want to figure out why people leave, why people stop putting out, why your woman doesn’t respect you, why marriages fail, why its no longer working, how to alienate your lover, he even offers solutions for friendships, and no doubt gay/bi people will find good advice in his blog.
