		<description>Can I say thank you for this wonderful article. Although not a father hopefully I will be in the future and somehow think this will be extremely beneficial.

Could any &quot;super dad&quot; out there tell me if the are the sole breadwinner out there and have to work long hours what do they do so that they are still full of energy when they come home to the kids? My own father was often too tired to engage me and I can see that may be something that if I am not wary I may fall into the trap of.

PS Can I just say I am a huge fan of the AOM blog, and really the people getting into arguments on this site...please grow up. I know we all want our say but I like the positive attitude that usually comes from this site.</description>

		<description>This is a good list.  Others have added their own supplemental suggestions, so I thought I&#039;d as well.  The following list comes from Mark Driscoll of Mars Hill in Seattle, out of their Peasant Princess series:

Six things Daddies can do to help raise their daughters to be like the woman in the Song of Songs

1) Pay attention - don&#039;t ignore her.  Initiate conversation and hugs
2) Spend time alone with them - take your daughter on daddy dates.
3) Pray for your daughter
4) Pray with your daughter (there is a distinction between 4 &amp; 5)
5) Teach her the Bible (read it, teach it, talk about it... Deut 6:4-9)
6) Compliment your daughter.</description>

		<description>I really think this article isn&#039;t just good for men, but for some women. 

My father was in his 40&#039;s when he and my mom had me. I&#039;m now turning 20 this year, and I try to behave well, and I am looking forward to the time I have a child of my own, and I hope that kid turns out well. I became the well-rounded man I am today because my father was there when my mother couldn&#039;t be.

As for that guy, Glenn... I&#039;m very sorry you&#039;re stuck with an old, hateful mentality. Traditional marriages are fine, I think. If a woman likes to stay home, I have no qualms with that decision, but she should be respected just as well. After all, if we all chose to disrespect women, how can we feel we&#039;re fit to carry on the human race? To disrespect all women is to disrespect your wife, your children, and your future. That&#039;s simply foolish. 

Also, women are quite capable of armed war-time combat. It doesn&#039;t require the same strength as melee combat for the most part, and women should never be underestimated in that or anything else. Women are quite capable of being just as strong, if not stronger than men (they deal with the pain of child birth, which I could never imagine living through). I still think they should be respected, protected, and loved.</description>

		<description>@glen, I just have a question for you, if you swore an oath to a 1928 Army manual while joining the navy, I think you went into the wrong door at the recruiters office... I am sure you didn&#039;t join the navy in 1928, that would make you somewhere around 98 yrs old. Women have only fairly recently been given positions in the front lines, which the Navy hasn&#039;t fired a shot in anger from any &quot;war ship&quot; since the first gulf war. Women were first allowed to be pilots in 1992 then allowed on ships in 1993 but the USS Eisenhower received the first combat ready women in 1994. But yet the Persian Gulf War ended in 1991, so you have never actually been in a combat role with a female as a comrade in arms. 

From personal experience in a combat role with women, I can tell you that there is no reason for any doubt as to whether a woman can do her job as she is trained to do it, as well as, and in some instances better than men.

On another note 13yrs does not add up, an enlistment is either 4 or 6 years, just recently it has been offered to take a shorter enlistment in the Army. WHich means you were either kicked out or got injured, but if you did get injured then your VA would have been put on the fast track due to the loss of your ability to keep your career. 

On a more personal note, my wife is a peace officer, and I support her in that pursuit, she has the constant harrassment of people like you but she is able to rise above it. I applaud her and am happy when she gets promoted over some ignorant, sexist guy. 

In my opinion there is no place in this world for this behaviour, you are a detriment to the human race. However I do see that I can be farely certain that, since you hate women so much, you will have a difficult time adding those ideas the gene pool.

@Leo
Great Article, sorry i had to add that, sometimes people using the military thing irks me off, especially when they are slanderizing the exact beliefs I fight for.</description>
