We have a masculinity crisis in America! Guess what? It's nothing new because we have had many masculinity crises in modern history. In today's show, I read you three of my newspaper articles that are all related to the Muscular Christianity movement and this problem of having men who are overly feminized. Weekly, I write a community health article for our local rural newspaper, so some of these articles are worth reading to you on my show. I'll start sharing some and giving you some extra context clues so we can expand a bit. Enjoy the show. I hope you find some inspiration and get some ideas from history. Take care of each other.
