When I hear the term "man's man" it screams homosexual to me. Nothing wrong with being gay but that's my reaction to the term.
An anti-Muslim retired lieutenant general who now serves as the Family Research Council (FRC) executive vice president recently said he was upset that Jesus had been feminized because the Son of God was a mans man who smelled bad and had big, bulging biceps, big ole veins popping out of his arms.
In a video clip posted by Right Wing Watch on Monday, Jerry Boykin tells a group at William Jessup University that Jesus would have been a lot different than most people imagined because he did manual labor as a carpenter.
Do you think he looked like the effeminate picture that we always see of him? Boykin asked. He didnt look like that. He had big ole calluses over his hands, right? I imagine he probably lost a nail or two, he probably hit it with a hammer or something.
You think his biceps werent big bulging biceps, big ole veins popping out of his arms, thin waist, strong shoulders from lifting? he continued. He smelled bad! Why? Because he sweated, he worked. You think Im sacrilegious because I said Jesus smelled bad? No, he was a man! He was a mans man.
Boykin lamented that we feminize him in the church.
He was a tough guy, and thats the Jesus I want to be like, he insisted. But we feminize Jesus in the church and men cant identify with him anymore, not the kind of men I want to hang out with. They cant identify with this effeminate Jesus that weve tried to portray.

(82,333 posts)A Pentagon investigation has concluded that a senior military intelligence officer violated regulations by failing to make clear he was not speaking in an official capacity when he made church speeches casting the war on terrorism in religious terms, a senior defense official said Thursday.
In most instances the officer, Lt. Gen. William G. Boykin, was wearing his Army uniform.
The probe by the Defense Department's deputy inspector general also found that Boykin, the deputy undersecretary of defense for intelligence, violated Pentagon rules by failing to obtain advance clearance for his remarks, which gained wide publicity last fall.
In one appearance, Boykin told a religious group in Oregon that Islamic extremists hate the United States "because we're a Christian nation, because our foundation and our roots are Judeo-Christians. ... And the enemy is a guy named Satan," according to news reports last fall.
