i don't spend much time in the kitchen, except when i'm grabbing a beer
so, Curtis2011, i am wondering if you've really thought through this aspect of your position. is your particular brand of spirituality only practiced by men? in my experience, many many forms of spirituality aren't tied to any particular gender. are you saying 'be true to yourself', 'be honest with your partner', 'there is strength in vulnerability' (insert other PD idea with spiritual undertones here) - these are only for men to read and act on? i guess it's the fact that you say the content is spiritually-minded personal development that has me confused. how can that be a male-only or male-mostly topic?
also i want to be sure you know, if you say this and you decide it's true, you'll be chopping potential traffic in half. is that what you want?
p.s. in the suggested tagline, you are misusing the word "modern" - in the same way many reality tv design shows misuse it. "modern" is connected to a cultural movement that began around the year 1900 and ended around 1940. it's actually related to a deep despair and distress (triggered by folks like Darwin and Nietzsche) as the former worldview came crashing down with nothing yet there to replace it. so, technically, "modern" has already passed. "contemporary" is more accurate, but rather clumsy for a situation like this.
how about
Spiritual Development in the 21st Century
or
Spiritual Development Today
or
Spiritual Development for Busy People (<-- also embodies the implications of a 'get it done' mentality - if you aren't busy, there's no reason to buckle down and get it done ya know? if you have plenty of time you can take your time)?
(any of these would also just make the potential effects of using "man" a moot point...)
