Aquit yourselves as men. The notion here is that ‘act like men.’ Now, I know English and gender words are not very very popular today, but this is what it says here.
Paul writes here that men should act like men. Prove yourselves to be men.
The problem is not what Paul says, but how we perceive what being a man is. There was a recent advert that caused huge controversy because it portrayed ‘being a man’ as being tender and compassioante. Our society says that a man is tough and hard and how it is okay for men to bully and push people around and generally be a tough guy.
Let’s just say for now that there is more to being and man than being a tough guy guy and being a brawler and a fighter. Being a man may not be what most of us think about when we first hear those words.
More later.
