And I do think that we should encourage healthy dating, not drunkenness, not permanent friend zone, not jumping in and hooking up. A slow, careful dating relationship where there's parental involvement, where you can evaluate, especially worldview alignment. And then when you get into college, I mean, I told my
19-year-old who is an incredible soccer player and just, oh my gosh, all of my kids are incredible. My 19-year-old was looking for a college. She considered one that had a 75% female to male ratio. And I said, you won't even apply to that college. Absolutely not.
Like this is your primary age, the primary window for you to find somebody who is like-minded, join your life to them in a cornerstone kind of marriage, not a capstone marriage where you figure it all out and then put the cherry on the top marriage. No, we're going to be strategic about who you're exposed to between the ages of 18 and 22. This is your chance.
And I think parents have a huge role to play in encouraging early family formation, early marriage, proper dating. You can't control everything. You shouldn't try to control everything. But the messages that you send, the signals that you send, the environments you put your kid in, it can lead them to the place where they are not involuntarily single when they're 30.
That's right.
Keep your daughters away.
That's exactly right. Yeah, a few things. Another thing that the sexual revolution did, not just handing women over to the worst of all men, but it made women, it made young girls very hungry for any kind of male attention because it disproportionately starved them of the paternal love that was supposed to satisfy that longing for male attention. And so, you know, through the course of the
You know, the last couple decades where we decided to abandon the traditional notions of sex only within marriage was meant children generally being bored to a household where they were going to have daily contact with both their mother and their father. Now we have girls who grew up without their father or with a revolving door of different men coming in and out of their mother's lives.
On average, as you know, these girls will start their periods a year early, a whole year earlier than their counterparts.
That's exactly right. So their bodies are literally signaling, I need to search for a man. And so now not only are there more men that are predatory for girls, but now there's more girls that, you know, we call this father hunger in our work, mother hunger or father hunger.
Like, maybe you've got, you know, two moms or two dads who love you or a single mom who's providing for you materially, but they do not meet your need for male or female love. And so you hunger for it. And this is why you see incredibly high rates of teen pregnancy among girls who are fatherless, right? Because... They didn't have that daily male love that they longed for, but they found it.
Maybe they only found it for five minutes on a Friday night, but they found it. And so I think the sexual revolution has been bad for women. Of course, my argument is it has been especially bad for children, you know, perpetuating terrible cycles. A note on Tammy's podcast, if you have not watched it, you should go subscribe.
She has done some really fantastic interviews on this topic of, you know, a proper understanding of what it means to be a woman, female, The interviews she's done on the effects of birth control on women's brains, I have sent out to tons of people. So it's very worthy of your time and attention for that.
In terms of my daughters and limits and elevating the behavior of the men around them, I will tell you that both of them got a lot of attention from guys. Most of the guys were not worthy of a lot of their time and attention. But I will say that there were a few times where... They said no. I mean, I'm not talking about a major sexual advance. I'm just saying, no, you can't have my attention.
No, I won't be your girlfriend. No, I won't continue to be your girlfriend if you continue to do these kinds of things. And then they watched the men, the young men, the 16-year-old, 17-year-old reform because... the girl has something they want, even if it's just attention, even if it's just saying she is my girlfriend.
Yeah. So I just think that, you know, my daughters have seen the incredible power of no.
And I will tell young girls, because I, you know, I've been involved in youth ministry for decades. I was running the youth ministry at our church until about a year ago. And I tell girls, like, if there's a guy that you really like, and if you want him to pursue you, you say no to pretty much everything. No, I won't hold your hand. No, I mean, be kind, right?
Yeah, you can go on a date, but if it has to do with a physical advance, the more you say no, the more your desirability goes up. If you want him to move on, give him what he wants physically. No, give him what his whims want.
Yes, that's right.
That's right. Yep, that's exactly right. Kids lose, kids lose. Anytime sex is happening outside of long-term committed, heterosexual, permanent... unions, kids will always pay the price for that. I think that that's one of the reasons why we are where we are in terms of marriage and family is we have pretended like there's no cost. But there is a cost. There's always a cost to kids.
