Humility is Masculine (Part 1)

Another quick thought (and one which I'll expand on later) is that humility and repentance are both very masculine traits when you think about it. They're the mark of a true Christian. As Luther said, 'all of life is repentance'.

They're also very difficult to achieve. They're the opposite of human nature. To achieve them requires strength, perseverance, endurance, boldness, courage and faith. There's nothing easy about that, but the more you think about it, the more these traits fit in with true masculinity.
