International Brotherhood of Men

Ancient literature dates back to about 3000 BC, with explicit expectations for men in the form of laws and implied masculine ideals in myths of gods and heroes. According to the Code of Hammurabi (about 1750 BC):

Rule 3: "If any one bring an accusation of any crime before the elders, and does not prove what he has charged, he shall, if it be a capital offense charged, be put to death."
Rule 128: "If a man takes a woman to wife, but has no intercourse with her, this woman is no wife to him."[21]
In the Hebrew Bible of 1000 BC, when King David of Israel drew near to death, he told his son Solomon: "I go the way of all the earth: be thou strong therefore, and shew thyself a man".[22]

In his book Germania (98 AD), Tacitus stated that the men from the ancient Germanic tribes fought aggressively in battle to protect their women from capture by the enemy.

is it feminine to covet your neighbor's wife?

or to commit idolatry?

is sin a demon named jezebel?

not every moral is owed to sexual opposites

it is the carnal want

the persistent need for comfort

turned inward

and made divine command

the mandate of heaven

jocasta's boy

doleful

abashed

and terrified

enslaved to himself

within himself

the sublime pervert
