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.

Fellas, is it gay to eat soup?

Real men only eat moist soup.

Well they’ll do it in secret, but if you tell the guys about it, they’ll never do it again.

It sure is. Eat this hot dog if you want to prove your manliness!

Did your partner make it for you?

Depends a lot on what you stir it with and/or if you close your eyes when you slurp.

For those that do not get this one: it's a reference to a somewhat older meme from the late 2010s

Heavy metal dudes are usually really nice. I bet most of them wouldn't approve of this guys bigotry.

[–] Enkrod@feddit.org 5 points 2 days ago

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.
