MEN, LOVE YOUR DAUGHTERS!
It is at times common practice here on Arthur's Hall for some of us to sing the praises of promiscuous women. While women who lack moral virtues may have their uses (to some of us anyway), it goes without saying that nobody wants their local tanorexic gym whore to raise their children. I would argue that us men are yielding to our weaker (and less manly) instincts when we give these bawdy harlots the time of day. Your average promiscuous woman isn't some gift from God to satisfy our libertine instincts, she is a sad and unhappy girl, who is unlikely to contribute to society or future generations in any positive way. I propose that by encouraging self-destructive behavior, we are damaging these women, ourselves, and all of society. What I suspect all these women have in common, and what has led them to their current state of wantonness, is the lack of unconditional fatherly love. Men, we need you to love your daughters.
Think for a second about what sort of experiences in life form your expectations of the future. If you eat a good meal every night, you will grow to expect to eat well in the future. It is comforting to know that you will eat well, and sets your mind free from worry. Love works the same way. A young girl who is loved and protected by her father will seek unconditional love from men later in life. She doesn't need to be told what love is, or what is healthy. she instinctively knows. Sadly, a girl who is abused by her father, or simply lacks a strong fatherly figure will still crave male attention as her biology demands. but in potentially destructive ways. A father's love, and his ability to communicate its depth and unconditional nature sets a young girl up for a fulfilling and productive life with other men in the future.
A great society survives because of its cultural institutions and common values. The breakdown of the American family is the most dangerous threat we face today. As a united and extraordinarily dynamic nation, there is no task too big for the American people. The threats of terrorism and war are nothing next to the fracturing of our family institutions. If you doubt me, just look at the accomplishments of our nation in World War II. But great nations crumble from within. A weak family leads to a more immoral society, the expansion of government powers to fill the void, and ultimately the loss of our freedoms. It would be easy to throw a blame around for this, and there are no doubt those who deserve blame. I personally think that the breakdown of the family is largely a result of a growing government welfare state. But putting blame on others won't fix any problems. Solutions to big problems start small. A great woman is the cornerstone of every great family, and America cannot succeed without a good many of them.
This site is largely concerned with manliness, and it certainly seems manly to have many female conquests. Conquering after all is a fine manly pursuit. isn't it? Sure it is, but perhaps only if it leads to a better future. If we expect people to recognize manliness as the positive force it can be, we should demand that any act we deem manly is a positive one on some level. We don't need more promiscuous women in the world. Racking up innumerable female conquests just leaves the world with more sad damaged women, and fewer healthy women capable of being part of a family and raising future generations of manly men. I hope you think about this the next time a sad drunken girl throws herself at you in a bar. I particularly hope you will think of this article if you have moved past that adolescent part of your life and come home to a daughter every night. As I said before, a girl's future hinges on a father's unconditional love, and his ability to communicate that love to her. In the end we all want healthy, strong, happy women in our lives. Our own happiness, and our own futures depend on it. That is why it is so important that fathers love their daughters.
