man-up

I think that is the new way of saying stand up and be a man. I've had on my mind the story of Adam and Eve. Satan talked Eve into trying ther fruit from the forbidden tree and she offered some to Adam who willingly took some of the fruit.

He should have refused but he didn't so when God cam looking for him he hid because he knew he was naked. When God asked him how he knew he was naked, Adam replied that Eve offered him some of the fruit of the forbidden tree. "It is her fault," he claimed.

He should have manned-up about what happened. Would it have made a difference?

I don't know but it would sure be refreshing to hear someone accept responsibility for their own screw-up rather than place the blame on someone else.
