    Skinny jeans, crossing your legs, using an iron, shaping your eyebrows, and even eating soup are among the things he derides as too feminine.

    DUDE!
    If your super-manly-manliness is fucking threatened by… eating soup… you’re not manly at all, you’re just fucking pathetic, weak-sauce and insecure.
    It’s like trying to be “cool” by telling people how cool you are, you defacto are not.

    My grandad ate soup every fucking meal after he came back from slapping nazis halfway accross the world, running uphill into fucking machine guns and he was more manlier than these shit-stain-producing-troglodytes.

      Lmfao soup…? Like, a roasted butternut squash and garlic soup, mounted with locally sourced fermented butter and a dash of sherry? Fucking hearty as shit and delicious? That’s unacceptable? I will fucking fight you, you wilted fucking parsnip.

      Maybe not winning a war since your grandad kicked ass WWII, even though trillions of dollars were spent, thousands of US lives lost and millions mamed physically and mentally, has hurt their fragile egos.

      I believe this shift to fundamentalist religious ideology in the US is overcompensation for what they saw in the Middle East where those folks stuck to and depended on their culture and beliefs to survive and when the soldiers returned they just saw fat fucking, lazy relatives complaining about everything.

    On the certain road down to incel-ism.

    Actual title as I see it on the article:

    Young US men are joining Russian churches promising ‘absurd levels of manliness’

    Some notable initial content:

    Skinny jeans, crossing your legs, using an iron, shaping your eyebrows, and even eating soup are among the things he derides as too feminine.

    There are other videos of Father Moses McPherson - a powerfully-built father of five - weightlifting to the sound of heavy metal.

    He was raised a Protestant and once worked as a roofer, but now serves as a priest in the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia (ROCOR) in Georgetown, Texas, an offshoot of the mother church in Moscow.

    The disservice this manly man is doing to society is regrettable, because invariably, women are going to get hurt as a result of this traditionalist backwards thinking.

    Ya know Im quite traditionally masculine by my kins standards and frankly speaking I find these “I’m super masculine take me seriously” types to be rather amusing if not pathetic. Mind you my kin and I come from a cousin stock of Old John Brown meaning that traditional masculine activities consists of scalping slavers, burning Mormons alive, and making Southern Trash know their place.

    How modernity has stripped many of us of our traditions, I must thank these weaklings for volunteering to help bring my ancestors traditions back. After all it won’t be the same, but these pissants will make fine targets regardless since they are close enough.

    Sounds like how to make men weaker. Wow. This is sad. Just a list of unnecessary things to be a snowflake about.

    Note: to flush ouf these proud boys is to offer soup and watch them melt into a puddle of pathetic loserishness

    All religions are only about control. This one is no different, just that the control likely comes from somewhere in Russia, but it’s control nonetheless

    It’s okay, there is no god, it’s okay.
