Do Men Have Special Needs?

[Dave-W]

Most women dress quite modestly. The only period of real 'immodesty' in my lifetime was the short-lived period of the miniskirt.

That is western society. What about tribal people in the rain forests?

The Anka (sp?) indians that Jim and Elizabeth Elliot evangelized had never worn any kind of clothing ever. Before the Elliots and their co-workers came, they had never seen or even heard of wearing clothes.

Actually, men do have a special need, a special need to be occupied with the work of men.

Why is that special? Is not that a default position?

I'm presuming "special" in the OP means "something different from women."

I don't think we should be emulating the tribes in the rain forest.

I wonder if god made the drive to procreate so powerful, it could not fail.

If we live like an animal we will perish like the animals. We need to be able to demonstrate the power of God in our lives. We need to live holy sanctified lives before God. So we need to be washed and cleansed in the Precious Blood of the Lamb.

"Special" means different than either majority or default.

Men's "needs" are default. (do REAL men actually have needs?)

"Special" means different than either majority or default.

But what did the OP mean? It's the OP that we're responding to.

"Real men don't have needs!"

Okay. Sure.
