    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.

        Am a heavy metal dude. Can confirm that I absolutely disapprove of this weak ass faker.

        If you feel threatened in your manliness from checks notes … wait what? Eating soup?! Ironing? Crossing ones legs? Successful women?

        Dude can’t handle soup! Soup!!

        Asshole needs to grow a spine and put a brain on it.

        Verdict: Not metal

      When I read the bit about girls being taught to prioritize marriage over careers, I grimaced. Ladies, bless yourselves with your own savings and checking, but especially savings.
