OUR ROTTEN MASCULINE/FEMININE DYNAMIC

Over a period of three days last week, I had several experiences that made me evaluate how rotten the dynamic is now between men and women. It made me wonder what broke it.

I think the distinction was that era told men their duty was to sacrifice themselves for their families, communities, and culture. A generation of women saw men rising to their task, respected those men, and those men thrived. We have something to learn there.

OH HOW THINGS CHANGE

The 1995 State of the Union address from Bill Clinton recently resurfaced. In that address, he celebrates the bipartisan effort at more border security, faster deportations, restrictions on giving welfare benefits to illegal migrants, and more hardcore efforts against illegal immigration. The room erupted into applause. Only THIRTY YEARS ago, that was a bipartisan issue. Consider how much we've changed.

That experience led me back to other audio when Barack Obama chided Mitt Romney for Romney thinking RUSSIA was a chief enemy, everyone on the Left saying marriage is for one man and one woman, and even Biden saying into 1987 that all rights come from God.

It's a stark realization of how much the world has changed in a short 35 years,
