We need to teach our daughters the difference between a man who flatters her and a man who compliments her; a man who spends money on her and a man who invests in her; a man who views her as property and a man who views her properly; a man who lusts after her and a man who loves her; a man who believes he is God’s gift to women and a man who remembers a woman was God’s gift to man. And then teach our sons to be that kind of man.
