The Solution They Won'T See

They ask how this could come about? How could a young man just snap, this did not happen way back, enough to make a good soul doubt. They wonder why has it changed, what’s different now than before, what turns a young man to horror, why are things not the same? Craven folks say it’s all guns, not above misusing a great loss to advance their political cause, never helping out anyone. Some say that it’s the drugs, medicating the boys of the world because they are not little girls, give them pills until their numb. Perhaps they speak some truth, it’s hard to grow, healthy and hale when society demonizes males, even when they’re in their youth. But I think it’s more than that, I don’t recall so many disturbed back when our homes had fathers, something so many now lack. For young men especially, an adult body and a child’s mind, awash in hormones all the time, of guidance they have a need. ’cause the cold, unyielding fact is that men are for aggression bred, and very like to end up dead, if not taught control and tact. A father is essential here, one who’s survived life’s burdens, learned what is required on men, how to conquer masculine fears. A single mother is not enough, though her love is like a saint’s she physical cannot restrain a young man who's acting rough. With more fathers in the home to make clear just what life is, and sometimes to crack the whip, more boys would prosper and grow. But to the nagging PC-crowd to say that it makes good sense to utilize such male guidance is an idea denounced loud. Most of them do not believe that gender is even a thing, and the great challenges it brings They steadfastly will not see. To claim that two parents are crucial to a balanced life, best achieved by man and wife, to them is a step too far. Ideology makes them blind, they’d rather this mess go on then dare reveal that they’re wrong and have to change their mind. And they won’t dare admit that sex is not a social trope, that the things real men know could help put a stop to this. So now we’re in this place, the solution that they won’t see is backed up by long history, and should be encouraged post-haste… …but I’m not holding my breath.
