In
my last blog I pleaded that we accept the principal that humans are
mammals and that the male is the intended head of the family like we
see in all other mammals. Of course, ideally the family unit will
represent a team—but using this metaphor we must understand that
the proper role for a man is captain. A plethora of dysfunctions
occur when circumstances interfere with this basic plan. A
problematic situation in America now is that the female is often the
primary breadwinner and as such may feel that she should overturn
millions of years of evolution and relegate herself to captainship.
(Money, as our society never tires teaching us, rules.) Certainly I
have seen the effects of problems raised in the black community in
which I live. Economic and social pressures often make a man feel
castrated and not infrequently he will leave the family field
entirely rather than stand for it. Addictions often occur in an
attempt to regain manhood from a bottle of Colt 45. As I mentioned
in the last blog, this evolutionary imperative pertains to the family
unit (a God instituted unit) and does not apply to larger social
units.
