Or, conversely, are we so exasperated by the Left’s radical encroachments on reason and reality that we are prepared throw our hands up as if to say, “Fine, then, do what you wish!” and sit back in our rocking chairs to watch the world implode?
No, I say, emphatically no, and add that a society that ignores and overrules the natural capacity and instinct of the male to protect hearth and home, and the unique strength and instinct of the female to bring new life and nurture the family, is a society that has signed its own death warrant.
One of the reasons I spent 20 years in uniform, deploying to any number of the world’s hell holes, was so I could face the monsters over there, rather than having my family face them over here. The concept of protecting what in gentler times was called “the fairer sex” wasn’t antiquated at all, but rather an honor and a duty.
If the idea that gentlemen protect their wives, sisters and daughters has been anachronized, then it would suggest that the “civilization” part of the West has atrophied to the point that it is barely even recognizable, a point greatly to be lamented. It causes me to wonder, in my darker moments, exactly what the hell was I defending?
