...and another thing that bugs me.
The premise of the book is that 'real men' hate church.
Rubbish, they don't care enough about church to hate it.

Why Men Hate Going to Church - David Murrow
This is unlikely to be my last post on this book; Why Men Hate Going to Church - David Murrow.
There's a good link to some of it's key points here. Some good background reading on the issues raised is at church for men.
I have not yet finished reading the book but it already has provoked quite a reaction in me. Mostly that it's very frustrating and I'd like to throw it away or shred it! I'm struggling to read it partly because I don't like how it's written, partly because the pace of the book is slow and therefore frustrating and partly because I cannot decide what I think about it.
It's either a genius piece of research and commissioning or it's awful rubbish interspersed with a few genuinely useful points. At least David Murrow doesn't present it as a 'complete' work.
I don't wish to be rude about it, but because it focuses so heavily on men, and I believe in family and the usefulness of the unique skills of both of the sexes, it's hard to keep pushing on. I just hope it delivers on it promises.
I'm reminded of a phrase I used to find helpful (I may have coined it, or not)
Feminism stole my masculinity and I want it back!
