- Men tend to navigate by directions, maps, and intuition. Women tend to navigate by landmarks.
- Having to ask directions makes sense to a woman. Doing so confesses to a man’s insignificance.
- Men tend to remember the past by events. Women tend to remember the past by emotions felt at the time.
- Morality primarily serves women, because they need it much more than men.
- If a woman fails to live within and uphold a self-imposed strong moral code, she can expect mistreatment by men. It’s not so for men.
- Predominately men are takers and women givers. Marital strength lies with an imbalance accepted as fair but perceived as near enough to equal.
- Promiscuity softens a woman’s hard-headedness and hardens her soft-heartedness. Promiscuity deadens a man’s respect for females.
- Self-hatred in men causes rape and violence. In women it stimulates manipulation, self-destructive behavior, and loss of relationship expertise.

Hello Guy,
Could you please explain the statement that women need morality more than men? I don’t want to misunderstand what you are saying.
Thank you.
Your Highness Jennine,
Welcome aboard. Let me know if the following doesn’t cover what you’re looking for.
Who benefits the most from governing the aggresiveness of males? What else forms the standards upon which mothers civilize boys, teen girls tame teen boys, and wives domesticate husbands? Can women do it without a system of standards up to which everyone is expected to step for the benefit of individuals, family, and society? Men appreciate the benefits of morality, but they don’t need it for themselves. Regarding women and children, men need guidance by something that makes them more socially acceptable.
Guy
Jennine,
In addition to Guy’s comment, I will add that it sounds like the focus of your comment was on something else. I may be reading into it, but it sounds like the argument I’ve heard from some people against the sexual double standards held by generations past — men were almost expected to “sow their wild oats”; while women were nearly banned from society if there was even a suspicion that they had lost their virginity prior to marriage. I don’t condone the double standard. However, most of the people who make this type of comment are of the “sexually liberated” type who try to eliminate the double standard by moving women into acceptable promiscuity, rather than trying to move men into the “virgins until married” category. I do the latter.
Not knowing how much of this blog you’ve read, you may not have seen posts that further elucidate this point, but Guy has said numerous times that, in general, men will only be as good as women require them to be. This is one way in which morality serves women. If women as a group remain sexually pure before marriage, and require men to be honest and honorable (or any other moral standards) before being considered a possible marriage partner, then that will of necessity raise the men’s moral standards, as they seek sex, which is only allowed in marriage. If women allow men to be scumbags, then men will be scumbags.
Thank you for the response, Guy and Kathy.
The dictionary defines morality as concern with the distinction between good and evil or right and wrong; right or good conduct.
I was trying to examine Guy’s statement within the confines of Biblical morality, which I believes applies to both men and women equally.
I appreciate this site and the perspective it offers. I dislike what feminism has done to hurt women and their relationships with men, though much of what I read here angers me until I examine the root of my objections.
(Guy- I confess closing my browser in a hissy fit on several occasions and I think I’ve mumbled the word “IDIOT” a few times. No offense to you, personally.)
The effect of growing up with a mother who was bitter towards men, despite my declaration to be different, is a painstaking process. I have to dissect the core issues and examine it in the light of God’s truth.
I do believe that it is a deprogramming taking place.
Thank you for speaking truth.
Your Princesstial Highness Jennine,
What a glorious female you have become. Such personal growth is a wonder to see.
Guy
