1. Tim Challies wrote a great article, The Burden of Perverse Assumptions.
“My mother has often remarked that men, and Christian men in particular, go through life lonely–forsaken by other men who should be their friends. And I think she is right. I wonder if we, too, bear the burden of perverse assumptions. Maybe we, too, from our early days feel the need to prove that we are not homosexual. And we do this by fleeing emotional or spiritual intimacy with other men, assuming that such relationships are unworthy of men–real men.”
2. TED talks – David Perry: Will videogames become better than life?
“They’ll be lush, complex, emotional experiences — more involving and meaningful to some than real life.”
3. (Related to the first link). The History and Nature of Man Friendships.
“Even letters by manly man Theodore Roosevelt to his friends were filled with sentimental language that would make most men today rather uncomfortable.”
On second thought, maybe 1 and 2 ARE related.
