Chapter 2 Review - Play the Man

This review will be brief. The chapter is a basic outcry against feminism and the current and past cultural war against masculinity in America. One can hardly find reason to disagree with this. The fact that there are differences between men and woman seem self-evident to most, but there has been a concerted effort by some fringe groups in the United States and in higher-education to make war on this fact.

Generally I think Weber touches on an important point as it relates to masculinity and makes a salient argument that is balanced and fair. The only critique I could see is his lauding of Chuck Colson and referring to him as a modern prophet. First, there is no such thing as a modern prophet. Secondly, Chuck Colson does not warrant such high praise who was a leading catalyst of bringing modern evangelicalism more in line with the Apostacy.

In an article posted on CBN they wrote, "Prison Fellowship Founder and President Chuck Colson praised Pope John Paul II as "one of the truly heroic figures of the 20th century. Colson, whom TIME magazine credited as the Washington power broker who helped cobble together an alliance of Evangelicals and Catholic Conservatives, said Pope John Paul II, "will be remembered not only as a great leader, but as one of the handful of people singularly responsible for the collapse of the Soviet empire."

Such a man may earn the praise of the world and popes, but I hardly think has praise before an All Holy God.
