This Video Is a Solid Reminder of Why Fathers are Important
Despite what modern society might think or say, fathers are an important part of the home. Often referred to cutesily as the "babysitter," the father is often relegated to a secondary role in the child's life or, as the feminists tell it, is completely unnecessary in the child's life.
This is a lie and an egregious one to boot. Fathers are integral in sustaining a child's health, comfort, and development as research has shown.
But there's another aspect to child-rearing that makes a father absolutely necessary, and that's safety.
While Smith and Wesson might have made men and women equals in terms of deadliness, the bottom line is that men are far more in tune with their killer instincts than women. It's what were designed for. Everything about our basic body structure makes room for combat situations. We're far more likely to resort to violence to solve an issue than women. It's why wars are fought by men, most fights are between two men, and sadly, most domestic violence is committed by men.
Violence isn't good or bad. Much like a gun, it depends on how it's used. The bottom line here, though, is that men are far more willing to use it than women are, and once they're using it, they'll know how to use it effectively.
There's a viral video that's been popping up from time to time that features women being asked if they'd kill someone for their kid. Their reactions are...shocking, at least from the standpoint of the father writing this article you're reading now.
As you can see, most of the women in this video when asked if they'd take a life for their child answered "no." As there's no data behind this, I can assume that these women don't make up an ultimately large portion of the mothers in America, and with more data, I'm sure you'd see a lot of women answer emphatically that they'd take a life to save their child's.
However, the fact that there were plenty of women who said they wouldn't got me thinking.
Perhaps some of these women can't be blamed for feeling uneasy about fatal violence because that kind of capability just isn't in them. When faced with a confrontation where a decision to pull a trigger needs to be made, it's unclear how they would react in the moment. They could break down, become too scared, and their fight or flight instinct might take over with "flight" being the chief order that takes over.
But this would not be the same case for men.
If men were asked the same question the answer would be an unthinking "yes." It wouldn't matter the context. If it means taking a life to save the life of his child, then he's going to choose to keep his child alive. In a situation where a trigger needs to be pulled, the trigger is far more likely to be pulled in the hands of a man.
It's what he was designed to do.
This isn't meant to demean women's ability or will to protect their children, but the fact of the matter is that nine times out of ten, the man will be far more successful in the physical and fatal defense of his child than the woman.
I think that fact is lost on us in the modern age, and will likely stay lost so long as the Western world continues to be a place of ease, wealth, and ignorance of the real world, but even in our nation the true nature of our world peaks through and men are necessary to beat the wolves back into the hills.
Fathers are necessary to the home because the safekeeping of a home is necessary. Over a long enough period of time, your home will eventually face some sort of danger and you're going to need the instincts of a man to keep things in order. That takes many different forms, but one of them involves violence, and a society that demeans, sneers, and laughs at fatherhood will suddenly wish a protective father was around.
