Manning Up or Wimping Out: Men Don’t Exist to Serve Women’s Desires
I am a woman about 5’7″ with a small frame. Even though I am an excellent swimmer, I cannot rescue people from burning buildings, move pianos, throw a hand grenade far enough to escape the burst radius, etc. I, like most women who are not large, am unsuited to heavy work requiring upper body strength. Historically and now, the United States is protected by strong men. We are approaching a cultural catastrophe that threatens to weaken our military, and our metrosexual president is universally despised for his weakness.
I always hate these comparisons of men and women, asking who is better? There is no right answer to a wrong question. Which is better, your right hand or your left hand? Wouldn’t you just rather have both of them because they were meant to work together?
I recently did some study on the Spartans with my daughter for her history class. The Spartans eventually died out simply because they failed to have enough children. They suffered defeat after defeat mainly because they were outnumbered. (They also had a lot of difficulty controlling their slaves who outnumbered them 7 or 8 to one.) Their family structure was nothing like what we could recognize and was nowhere near adequate to ensure their survival. It’s time to get back to the basics.
