Manhood

Is my desk job unmanly?

One thing I get questioned about a lot is, Father, I don't have a very manly job, I work in computer programming or whatever else, should I find something that's more masculine? The fact of the matter is, if you're working a full-time job and you're able to create a good enough revenue to support having your children, your family, there is absolutely nothing not manly about that. You just may have talents that reside in a certain realm of life. So if you got a guy who is a programmer making 250k a year, is it more manly to stop doing that and go be a roofer for 60k a year? Absolutely not. The full-time job, the hardworking husband, this is definitely lumberjack. And I say that because it doesn't matter what you're doing, you're swinging the axe of your mind or your muscles, and you're providing for your family.
