Spanglish: a stereotype of what men are becoming in america

So, I just got done watching the movie Spanglish. Adam Sandler plays a father who won't stand up to his wife when he knows she is wrong, a man who when confronted with the fact that his wife has in fact cheated on him, runs to another woman, and it isn't he who stops it, but again the woman must lead, just as he has allowed his wife to do so throughout the film. It in many ways is THE example of everything men should not be. It was such a good film, and to see this character, a man who loves his children so much, immasculated in such a way as in this movie, ruins it. I think this is at least in my eyes, a cry to our culture that we need men to step it up, and be MEN! Not to wallow in a mire of passivity, but to stand up for what is right, and lead with integrity, fearing our God only, not the women in our lives (whether or not a man believes in God, is irrelevant to this point since he still exists even if he does not believe).
