The aftermath of the Andrew Tate drama in Christian circles has many on a quest to define masculinity to provide solid food for Tate’s counterfeit persona. Yet the underlying flaws of complementarianism emerge as the inability to define masculinity.
Robb Brunansky, a Southern Baptist pastor affiliated with Founders, thought it wise to say and go viral for:
Esau was a paragon of modern masculinity! Hairy. Probably had a great beard. Hunter. Very manly. Not a mama’s boy. A man’s man if ever there was one. “See to it that there be no immoral or godless person like Esau.” Maybe those things aren’t biblical manliness after all.
Allie Stuckey would lend agree agreement with this retarded take. Brunansky connects the positive aspects of Esau’s character to God’s enmity towards him. Esau was manly to be sure, but he despises his heritage, much like Post War Consensus enjoyers, and married Canaanite women. Brunansky thought it a banger to pit godliness against bravado, but this is a false dichotomy at best and effeminate cope at worst.
As a positive role model for young Christian men and alternative to #AndrewTate, James White (@HwsEleutheroi) offers up Adoniram Judson.

Judson was a Baptist missionary to Burma for nearly 40 years. He was a widower two times over and lost many children to disease as well.… pic.twitter.com/YTjIpzw2aI
James White chimed in, citing Adoniran Judson as a masculine role model. The missionary to Burma had a tremendous impact, but one could question whether him leading his wife and children into harm’s way makes him a masculine role model. Moreover, what characteristics unique to him are masculine distinctive? His wives were also missionaries, having a heart for evangelism. Judson was accused of being a British spy during the Anglo-Burmese War and imprisoned. But this example is a stretch that seems befitting a David Platt lecture rather than a conversation about masculinity.
Masculinity is something done more than talked about. But if we must talk about it, should not masculinity be distinct from femininity? Spiritual disciplines are great, but they are not masculine distinctives. There comes a time when martial prowess, feats of strength, is a component of masculinity, and the majority of examples of masculinity in Scripture have it, including Jesus. Adventurism and risk-taking are not the normative temperament in women who are naturally inclined toward security.
In what appears to be a masculinity crisis of sorts by those who are bent on countersignaling weightlifting, the alternative to defining masculinity is an androgynous definition. In the Bible, we see with Adam that he was given a job and was accountable. Labor existed before the fall and it was manly. Accountability is the attribute that stems from Adam’s headship over Eve, which also predates the fall. So many want to reinvent masculine distinctive to overcomplicate or androgynize them. But God created a real distinctives from the beginning.

James White and his GBT Seminary (more like LGBTQ Seminary) are heretical anti-White race traitors who go around shilling for jewish interests and falsely claiming that “god” opposes White racial unity.
Of course, James and his GBT Seminary are LIARS, and when the America First movement wins power, they will be arrested and put on trial for treason and incitement of genocide for using religion to manipulate White people into embracing their own racial destruction.
After the America First movement wins power, it will be a class 1 felony to use religion for anti-White purposes.
How does anyone not see the Jacob vs Esau is sissy momma’s boy Jew propaganda against the masculine outdoorsman Gentiles who destroyed their matriarichal society mutliple times? Assyria, Babylon, Greece, Rome. Its not God’s view, its the rabbis’ view. What did Esau even do that was bad? When he could have killed Jacob (easily!) for stealing his inheritance he didn’t and instead forgave him. And the meaning is the Jews expect to always be able to trick us, charge us usury, and always be forgiven, because they see us as hairy schmucks.
And if Jacob is masculinity then masculinity is cheating your brother of his inheritance, marrying your cousin, 2 of them, and stealing cattle from your uncle by a scam of painting the herd a different color. Almost sounds like Andrew Tate honestly.
