Women are more anxious than men. The upshot of this anxiety is that it propels them to take initiative and prepare for the future. Men usually need an external “kick in the pants”. Traditionally, this “kick in the pants” was provided by fathers and the societal expectation of providing for a family.
For example, I was fooling around in high school until my dad started charging me rent, which was my wake up call to get moving in life.
There is no longer a societal expectation for men to provide, there’s a lack of fathers setting expectations, and men are getting left behind at record rates. It’s rotten for men and women.
God’s expectation for men is taking responsibility and operating in “truth and love”, which threads the needle between being a tyrant or a worthless pushover, and reverses the current societal decay of masculinity.
I’m grateful for my dad and the other men in my life who were positive role models. I was on track to be a worthless bum before their impact on my life.
