 Non taken. I want to say I love your content and I spend an unhealthy amount of time sending clips and posts of you to friends, family and non-wizarding folk i'm trying to orange pill, it's just that sometimes I catch I glint of some teenager who that isn't American Hodl. 

Understand this, both mothers and fathers hold important roles in their children’s lives. One is NOT more important than the other.

Moms need to let Dads do their thing. Let them turn boys into men. A father knows what this world demands of a man. No one is coming to save men. Fathers are innately scripted with necessary lessons to teach boys. The father will push the boy harder and put them through more discomfort than the woman’s empathy will allow her to do. I know you know this but for some reason you never put your wife on the same level as yourself. Your recent "i've put my wife out to pasture" comment was such a strange concept here in the UK. Putting anyone out to pasture is like sending a knacker to the glue factory. Like retirement, it's one stage before death. Personally I'll die with my workboots on and so will my wife. 

Sidequest: Agreed about boys mot becoming men until you have a kid but there are other ways. Going to prison and going to war.  Three ways to earn your spurs. I did two of them but one will suffice. Those boys that fail to grow up under any of the above conditions have failed at life. Exit the genepool quietly please.    
 Firstly I don’t think I ever said “I put my wife out to pasture” lol I did retire my wife that’s true. 

She is a stay at home mom by choice. She doesn’t want to work. She has her masters degree and could always go back to work if she wanted, but she enjoys being a full time mother. Contrary to what many believe being a SAHM is a status symbol these days. 

As far as me saying she’s one of the people under me. Yes she is under my protection, care and provision. I create an environment in which those I love are safe and protected.

P.S. I’ve done DMT, psylocibin etc… many times. 
 As you know, building a home and children on a daily basis is a ton of work.

Kudos to your wife and mine for the incredible work they do.
