{"type":"rich","version":"1.0","title":"**Evangelical Masculinity**: America's brand of masculinity is itself harmful. Americans––though American men in particular––are supposed to pull themselves up by their bootstraps. They are supposed to be self-reliant, assertive, and, when necessary, aggressive and violent. Evangelical masculinity takes American masculinity and puts a warped Biblical lens on it, amplifying this assertiveness and aggressiveness, and then portraying it as Divinely ordered. To be a man is to be these things, American masculinity teaches. Evangelical masculinity teaches that to be a *Godly* man is to be these things while telling yourself you are acting in God's image as Jesus would have done.","provider_name":"Coggle","provider_url":"https://coggle.it","thumbnail_url":"https://static.coggle.it/diagram/YI69Y82vfL9CFM2p/thumbnail","width":1920,"height":1200,"html":""}
