By Jim Mettenbrink<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>
\nOften we humans make the mistake thinking that the genders\u2019 makeup is very much alike. However, the difference is noticeable even at a very young age. On the playground of five-year olds, the boys are combative, individually imagining dragons to fight, and the girls sit in a group chatting with one another. However, beginning in their teen years, the differences are more profound.\u00a0<\/span>
\nOne of these gender differences is sexual desire! It is God-given and good. However, according to His design that men and women should be complements to one another in marriage, the desire He gave is different in men versus women.\u00a0<\/span>
\nWhile Grandpa was waiting for a train in northern Russia, he noticed a one-picture comic in a newspaper. A man\u00a0was\u00a0giving a bouquet of roses to a lady,\u00a0and\u00a0he imagined sex. She imagined the wedding.Why the difference?\u00a0<\/span>
\nThe difference\u2013\u2013God gave men the energetic hormone\u2013\u2013testosterone. It stirs men to be adventuresome, to take great risks\u2013\u2013sometimes behaving recklessly,\u00a0to\u00a0become\u00a0aggressive when his pride is insulted, and to pursue women for sex. If it were not for his sexual desire, he would likely always be wandering to see what lies over the next hill, never settling down. Men generally do not feel complete unless they have sex with a woman. In his book\u00a0Men and Marriage<\/i>,\u00a0George Gilder calls this the\u00a0psycho-sexual\u00a0connection of well-being.\u00a0<\/span>
\nGod implies this major difference between men and women in the laws of the Mosaic covenant\u00a0dealing with\u00a0rape. There is no law about women raping men, only men forcibly raping women (Deuteronomy 22:25-26).\u00a0(To be clear, in contrast, our statutory rape laws are not about force, but seduction of minors [age of consent limits]). That God issued the death penalty\u00a0demonstrates that\u00a0forcible rape reflects the strength of testosterone. However, usually the boys in\u00a0this seduction will just lie to get\u00a0their\u00a0way\u2013\u2013\u201cIf you loved me,\u00a0you would….\u201d And the girls mistakenly think\u00a0their\u00a0desire for\u00a0them\u00a0is actually real love.\u00a0Thus\u00a0the absolute necessity to teach our children to become and marry faithful Christians.\u00a0That, in part, means teaching boys to respect women (they are not toys and \u201choe\u2019s\u201d) and marriage as the most important earthly human\u00a0institution.\u00a0<\/span>
\nIncidently, nothing reflects the lack of moral restraint as\u00a0much as\u00a0the manmade religion of Islam. Islam was made for men! Rape is virtually unknown. Why? Because\u00a0rape must be witnessed by four men\u00a0before she can legally claim to be raped. If a girl claims to have been raped, she is at fault and will suffer the consequences (jail or a family honor killing). Muslims use the\u00a0Quran<\/i>\u00a0as the\u00a0authority of\u00a0Allah to rape. Recently a Jordanian cleric issued an edict legitimizing the rape of all non-Sunni Muslim women. Also recently, a Saudi cleric gave an edict that Jihad fighters can gang\u00a0rape all non-Muslim women. This is permission for men to unbridle testosterone with no impunity! About 15 years ago Grandpa had a discussion with a couple of middle-aged, lifelong atheists, who asserted that a woman\u00a0cannot\u00a0be raped unless she wants to be raped.\u00a0<\/span>
\nFurther,\u00a0in its political correctness, the U.S.\u00a0military has unwittingly unleashed uncontrolled testosterone by assigning women to work in close quarters with men, such as in combat theaters and on navy ships. In May, the Pentagon reported that sexual assaults in the military are 305 times higher than in the general population.\u00a0Because far too often girls are naive about men, Grandpa asks, \u201cWhere are the daddies?\u201d About 35 years ago, while chairing an U.S.A.F.\u00a0airman of the month panel, Grandpa asked the contestants their opinion about women serving in combat. Two married women were among the contenders. One who was about 30 years old adamantly opposed it. Another who was about 20\u00a0years old\u00a0supported women in the front line of war. After the competition, I asked the younger if she knew that in the likelihood of being a POW, she would be raped until she died. She shockingly responded, \u201cWhy, they wouldn\u2019t do that.\u201d Such naivety requires daddies informing\u00a0their\u00a0daughters\u00a0about men.\u00a0<\/span>
\nUntil the last couple generations, actually until the \u201cpill,\u201d\u00a0American society respected the\u00a0Biblical order of lifetime marriage. Women knew the importance of modesty in speech, dress,\u00a0and behavior. And they kept men at bay until they were married. Today, date rape starkly flags the moral decline. Without\u00a0Biblical standards to constrain men and women to be the moral guardians, the society will decline into utter chaos. Christian parents must prepare our children with the knowledge of the differences.\u00a0<\/span>
\nGilder sets forth the necessity of men to be married in order for family and society to be orderly and for men to have real lasting purpose in life. Without marriage men are driven by the hormone to be sexual conquerors going from woman to woman. When his desire is heightened, he will go on the prowl and seduce a girl to whom he is attracted. This should be a sign to girls that they need to be very cautious. This is why a lady recently remarked of her concern for her granddaughter who was living with a young man, \u201cWhy buy the cow when the milk is free?\u201d\u00a0<\/span>
\nIn a discussion with my mother about the differences in men and women, I remarked that when men are sexually stimulated there is a sense of an unstoppable urgency to be fulfilled. She said she surmised that, but\u00a0Dad never discussed it with her. Hubby needs to have this conversation with\u00a0wifey. Dad needs to man up and be the guardian of his daughter. That starts with telling her why and how she needs to be careful to guard her purity.\u00a0<\/span>
\nThis caution was highlighted about 30 years ago, when Grandpa heard a wise, old preacher in his 70s state in a sermon regarding decline of the sexual moral condition of culture in general:\u00a0\u201cThe way the women go in the nation is the way the nation goes.\u201d He was saying that the women are the moral governors of the country. Yes, the governance of sex is important to the prosperity of every sphere (marriage, family, children, work, etc.) in a nation. However, girls\u00a0play a major role in the moral compass of the nation. That is why\u00a0Daddy must have a serious chat with his precious daughter, so she is not at risk of being seduced or even raped. Her modest appearance (dress and behavior)\u00a0is\u00a0key to ensuring that she does not unwittingly encourage a young man to pursue her sexually.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
