@sardonicsmile Family is purpose and the extension of a man's love and care for the world in a just society led by men. It is entirely a trap and a burden when a society led by women and evil do attempt to enslave men.
@sardonicsmile Love to the extension of what men can build and do beyond themselves. Fortunately for societies men find this in working on homes and projects they can build. Many men can still find contentment among it themselves. Most men find it goes much further when they can cultivate it in not just another man, but a son or heir. It isn't about 'the woman'. Rather what a man can make of a home while a wife remains a 'loyal' tender that he keeps authority over and by extension his children.
@FinalDresdonation You've been watching too many Disney princess movies.
@sardonicsmile Nah, it isn't to say men don't often desire other things, nor resources, nor love those things or themselves. But by far most men are going to value legacy, family, community when they have more than most things.
The wrong comes in when you tie it to just that and only that in an environment where they have no authority beyond themselves. This is why though men can also cultivate the world beyond themselves and be responsible for their own means as a love to themselves. Same diff
@FinalDresdonation Yes "most men" value "legacy", "family', "community". These are all arbitrary.
MOST men "value" these things because society has *told* them these are values.
We are all just cells; a combination of cells within another combination of cells. You *think* you have sentience or free will, but you do not. You are just acting out biological impulses. You *want* to think there is some "greater good" because you are naive. I can tell by your speech patterns and inflection.
@sardonicsmile While I respect it. Gay.
@sardonicsmile I see love as cultivation of others and the sacrifice & fulfillment around doing so. The best extension of this is a son(s), likely followed by male family, followed by heirs, and god children sort of deals. Men are what they make and desire to content themselves with. That is the love of the world.
