Men and Women

Kathleen Parker has been a champion of marriage, family, and differing roles for men and women for years. Her latest book, titled Save the Males: Why Men Matter, Why Women Should Care is a barn-burner and pulls no punches:

Ultimately, what our oversexualised, pornified culture reveals is that we think very little of our male family members. Undergirding the culture that feminism has helped to craft is a presumption that men are without honour and integrity. What we offer men is cheap, dirty, sleazy, manipulative sensation. What we expect from them is boorish, simian behaviour that ratifies the antimale sentiment that runs through the culture.

Surely our boys – and our girls – deserve better.

As long as men feel marginalised by the women whose favours and approval they seek; as long as they are alienated from their children and treated as criminals by family courts; as long as they are disrespected by a culture that no longer values masculinity tied to honour; and as long as boys are bereft of strong fathers and our young men and women wage sexual war, then we risk cultural suicide.

In the coming years we will need men who are not confused about their responsibilities. We need boys who have acquired the virtues of honour, courage, valour and loyalty. We need women willing to let men be men – and boys be boys. And we need young men and women who will commit and marry and raise children in stable homes.

Unprogressive though it sounds, the world in which we live requires no less.

Can we hope that common sense and biblical truth will win out? Men and women are different. Those differences are beautiful and enjoyable and give us humanity. When we lose our differences, we all suffer. Here's to all the women--and the brave men--standing up for men and against the gender suicide of feminism.
