Tim Clinton champions ‘biblical masculinity,’ laments how men are feeling ‘marginalized’

A notable Christian professional counselor has advised men to reclaim their “biblical masculinity” amid mounting attacks on manhood by the mainstream culture.

Tim Clinton, president of the American Association of Christian Counselors, co-authored the book, Take It Back, with prolific writer Max Davis. In it, they counter critiques and corruptions of masculinity by various entities within modern American culture and champion biblical ideals of manhood.

One example cited in the book was the release of guidelines by the American Psychological Association in 2018 that described “traditional masculinity” as being a “particular constellation of standards” that include “anti-femininity, achievement, eschewal of the appearance of weakness, and adventure, risk, and violence.”

Many conservative social commentators interpreted the guidelines as expressing hostility toward masculinity and the healthy attributes it brings to culture and civilization.

“It’s no secret that there’s been a real beat-down on men in the media and our culture,” Clinton told The Christian Post. “In response, there has been an aggressive and radical push to feminize men.”

“Many men feel marginalized — like they have to almost apologize for being a male. We want to say to men all over America, ‘it’s OK to be a man, to be masculine!’ Honestly, it’s crazy we have to say this.”

Clinton told CP that he and Davis “are not justifying any sinful or unhealthy behaviors, but we are making a distinction that while behavior can be toxic, it does not mean that masculinity is toxic.”
