The definition of Christian masculinity is two fold:
"Be strong and courageous, for you shall cause this people to inherit the land that I swore to their fathers to give them.
Only be strong and very courageous, being careful to do according to all the law that Moses my servant commanded you. Do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may have good success wherever you go." (Jos. 1:6-7)
And
"Therefore an overseer must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, sober-minded, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach,
not a drunkard, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money.
He must manage his own household well, with all dignity keeping his children submissive,
for if someone does not know how to manage his own household, how will he care for God's church?
He must not be a recent convert, or he may become puffed up with conceit and fall into the condemnation of the devil.
Moreover, he must be well thought of by outsiders, so that he may not fall into disgrace, into a snare of the devil.
Deacons likewise must be dignified, not double-tongued, not addicted to much wine, not greedy for dishonest gain." (1 Tim. 3:2-8)
Nothing more and nothing less! Anything less is androgynous effeminacy and anything more is destructive legalism.

@SuperSnekFriend This was from gab back before it fell apart, but what's your thoughts on this?

I really like Padrig Martin. He's done and sacrificed so much for Southern Nationalism.
I agree with the post, though the term "turning the other check" is referencing that being slapped in the world was an assault on one's honor. Christ was more telling people to ignore or not escalate over petty personal offenses, which is a far cry from egregious assaults to one's well-being and life, let alone assaults on the well-being and lives of those you love.
Notice that Christ never literally turned his other check when a temple officer slapped Him in John 18.

And before I get any comment or question, not being violent or πλήκτην does not equal to never using violence or making war for any reason whatsoever. The Lord is a man of war (Exo. 15:3), making war in righteousness (Rev 19:11).
