Yeah, and here is that "purpose":
Ephesians chapter 5
[22] Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
[23] For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.
[24] Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.
[25] Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
[26] That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
[27] That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
[28] So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.
[29] For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:
[30] For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
[31] For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.
[32] This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.
[33] Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.
Good luck (not that I believe in luck) finding someone who is genuinely interested in that type of "masculinity".

interesting that no man hates his own flesh, but women seem to hate their own bodies - so many women complain about their own bodies whether too fat or wrinkly or spotty or whatever
anorexia, bulimia and cutting/self harm seem prevalent amongst a certain types of young women
but that doesnt men may not suffer from those disorders as well.
Not sure why a lot of women cant seem to love their own bodies like men do.
I have this picture book in the library aimed at girls/young women and its called LOVE YOUR BODY.
why? Because you dont need a man or anyone else to tell you what your body is or to love it. You can love your own body and appreciate it for what it is. God made it amazing so no complaining.

I see this far too often......sigh
Please list the "feminine" qualities God displays.
I am so very tired of people trying to UNISEX God
God is a SPIRIT! And to worship Him, we must worship Him in spirit and TRUTH!
God IS NOT HUMAN! We are created in His image. That image being our eternal spirits...and our being triune creations. Body, soul, spirit. Just as God is a Triune God Father, Son, Holy Ghost......
Please do not try to UNISEX God. I assure you, He will not be pleased with you.

Relax and stop pulling out your hair. Firstly, God made man and woman in His Image which automatically means that since man and woman came from God, then within God is the masculine and the feminine. You can look up the original language used in the Bible and do some googling and you might also start finding the Holy Spirit and the human soul (the soul of both men and women) both referred to in the feminine. That's all I have to say. If you respond without doing your own research, you'll just prove you only want to argue. And I'll put you on ignore. I'm here to blow right through, not to waste my time.
I've got a whole shelf of old Robert E. Howard Conan and other Uber masculine hero books of fiction. Howard was the grandfather of the masculine warrior hero genre' that the whole category of writers try to aspire to but never quite achieve. That's fiction.
Here's one example of true masculinity in a Nonfiction book inspired by the Almighty LORD of Hosts (Armies).

It leaves the Robert E. Howard list of books and heros in the dust.
