My children come first. Over anything. ANYTHING. Even over a bunch of preachy shit from Leninists and anarchists. That is not going to sell me in terms of my children. Not because of who is preaching... but because of their general detachment from the actual target of their preaching.
In Joanna's post... the children part, in particular, is notable.
It usually takes a female to remember the children aspect.

Very well said.
Sticking a penis into a vagina and yelling "I LOVE YOU" when you shoot is not the same as caring for children.
Love for children is unconditional. But it is not some genetic thing. Only attached to the "penis sticking."
We need social responsibility tools to help children through this transition period -- when marriage and its re-arrangement that our society is going through is making their lives more difficult.
I wish more females would talk about that. And in a way that doesn't threaten males by making them seem like bad fathers...
