A couple months into Covid, my wife didn't understand why I was asking that she and her friends speak to the other women to stop the mask foolishness. It wasn't foolishness... it was witch hunting tyranny. And it wasn't her responsibility... nor any other woman's responsibility. Men are responsible to fight the monsters. That is the primary issue in the West. Men need to act, and be manly. Men need to fight the monsters. This past July 4th every man in my PA neighborhood (just outside Philadelphia) was instructed by their women not to purchase any fireworks. It cost me roughly $1,000 U.S. dollars. Stashed them in my neighbors garage. Told a few different dads, that specific other dads asked for them to gather... they all showed up - and they understood what needed to be done. About 80 plus children in our neighborhood loved it. God Bless America.

That's a great story. It's very hard for men in today's society to push back against women, because we don't fight in the same way. It's a quandary.

This is great – so much of this conversation really needs to be out there in the public domain, especially more discussion about what is happening with girls and how much women have actually thrown away. Women are indeed the 'social and cultural gatekeepers' - but in effect opened the gates and stepped back. My father was once asked if he wished he had a son, having family of daughters – he replied 'no, because women are always responsible for shaping the future'. I was about 12 at the time, and it was the late seventies, but I took it on board and have never forgotten it.

Hope your cold goes away soon and thank you for the discussion of the wisdom of older women (or at least of older women who have not gone woke which some have unfortunately).
