Fathers for daughters

What’s love got to do with it?

Not too long ago there was a religious sect that had an annual pick your spouse out of the hat ceremony. If one did not like the luck of the draw, one simply threw their name back in the hat, and waited another year. As bad as this sounds today, the alternative 50% divorce rate sounds worse. This sect’s % was better than 50 %.

That boys and girls are different is not the subject of this post. Most know this.

What is the subject of this post is girls, fatherly speaking. The idea of group dating and girl friends “with privileges” is appalling as a father. Fathers understand hormones, thank goodness, as it helps girls put out, as when growing up. Ah, the mental pictures. But also fatherhood conveys certain perspectives, mostly about American society.

As a father, I would just love to cross their legs and tie them shut. This would work for birth control in the back of the car, but my objective is more sinister. Thanks to education, much of this is better understood. The amount of thrown out used condoms in rural parking places on my rural place is a good reason to think the kids are practicing safe sex.

This post is about girls, though. And it is posted as a father. All that has gone in the last 5 decades or so vis-a-vis the pill has been about birth control. How about humanity, and the girls part in all this. If this sounds like a heavy load, it is. Just who does run the world?
