As a Father

   Written by on October 20, 2016 at 10:18 am

For the past week hundreds of men are addressing the issue of women being treated as sex objects. Many if not all of them start by saying, “As the father of a daughter…”

What this implies is “I wasn’t concerned about this problem until I had a daughter” which indicates they might have been part of the problem.

The solution to this problem is for the fathers of sons to teach their sons to respect women. This includes showing respect for that son’s mother.

Detrick Bonhoeffer said, “The greatest gift a man can give his children is to love their mother.”

If we teach our sons and daughters to respect themselves and others and we show respect to others, our children can change this pattern.
