Taming Men

I've been hard on men in my recent blogs. Perhaps I've given the impression that our current cultural situation is, purely and simply, caused by the male sex. This is, of course, erroneous. I am happily married with two wonderful sons and a lovely daughter. I agree with the comments made by the lone ranger that women should act like ladies if they want to be treated as such. It is just as hard for a young man to find a chaste woman these days as it is for a girl to find a faithful man.

So how are women to blame for their plight? Women are not satisfied with the place God has given them in life and relationships. He created them to be helpmates for their husbands. Feminists want to be like men. They want power. To be like men, they have to have everything that men have. Thus we have the sexual revolution. Women now have equal pay for equal jobs, the right to vote, and sex without commitment to husband or children. True, many women "get stuck" with kids in spite of birth control and abortion, but they do have the comfort of their children in their old age. They may have to raise their children alone, but this responsibility tends to assuage their guilt over a promiscuous life.

Believe it or not, men have guilt as well. What does an unattached male do with his guilt over not taking care of his children and the mother of his children? There are all kinds of ways of temporarily dulling guilty feelings, but long term, perhaps women are better off than men in this society. A 'free-lovin" man usually ends up cold, old, and alone.

When raised correctly, young men are not animals. They, too, have minds as well as bodies. They long for companionship with a woman they can respect and to whom they can commit their lives. But our society has turned, has bent, toward a perverted way of viewing the sexual relationship between a man and woman. Only women, happy to be women as God intended them to be, can tame men, who often don't even realize what they are missing.
