We need to teach our sons to distinguish between
A woman who flatters him, and a woman who compliments him.
A woman who spends his money, and a woman who helps him earn it.
A woman who views him as replaceable, and a woman who sees that he is priceless.
A woman who lusts after every man, and a woman who only has eyes for him.
A woman who believes she is a gift to all men, or a woman who believes he is a gift to her.
And then we need to teach our daughters to be that kind of woman.
-------
We need to teach people the difference between friends and life partners.
We need to teach people the difference between mere niceness and true kindness.
We need to teach people the difference between placating rudeness and respect.
We need to teach people to be people over simply being a part of the animal kingdom.
We need to teach people proper manners of communicating with accurate words again.
We need to teach people how to hold ourselves and others fully accountable for all we do and say.
