The women are the current warriors in this fight; a burden God never intended for us to carry.
At the very least,we must unite our hearts in prayer against this assault on decency.
On a practical level we must model modesty and grace in our dress and behavior, especially our speech. We must shun the near pornographic content of today’s television programs, movies, and literature.
It is to the everlasting shame of the teachers of America, many of them women, that we must also take a stand for wholesome instruction in the classroom.

Unfortunately too many women have ‘gone along to get along’ imho.

I believe only 15% of ALL people are “leaders” anyway—85% are followers—’leaders’ are those brave enough to drive forward with deep conviction, come what may...and since females are the nest builders they have much at risk, a lot at stake in driving forward the unpopular crusade.

The males must stop self-medicating with the feel-good fix of bad habits, procrastination and cynicism— and step forward.

There is another type of female nowadays—well, there are many types, please excuse my inexcusable indexing— but a high profile type that much influences young girls—they are the misguided and shrill women trying to act ‘as men’..including destructive, promiscuous behaviors that undermine their happiness.

We need a return to the basics.

We are a complementary system of male and female—not parallel in all attributes but 100% equal in our complementary value—we must recognize this, it is the key.

Males should never devalue females ( as intrinsic co-partners to the human experience) because they are feminine and not hard-charging, man-like money machines.

Females got the message for thousands of years, that human value is only linked to societal, commerce and power-driven dynamics. To ensure their value, they were forced to become more man-like.

We see females abused in every culture across the globe where they have not worked to attach monetary or power value to themselves. They have been marginalized, disposed of, exploited. Devalued.

American women were given the leverage to help themselves ( **And this is a true historical and spiritual marvel that western, Christian males extended to females and this should be heralded**). But it has swung too radically and we see the great unraveling.

As women have gained economic power and independence, vile, degrading and hateful pornography slamming the very essence and certainly intent on destroying dignity of the feminine, has exploded.

Is there a realtionship?

I venture yes.

This, I believe is where much of our problem lies.

We MUST appreciate that which is of both genders, equally.

Honor the male, honor the female. EQUALLY. Understand the complemenatry design. We cannot exist without the other. BUT we are DIFFERENT. And this is the BEAUTY.

Jesus told us this in spades.

We must wake up.
