   One of the biggest mistakes people make in relationships is lack of parameters.Individuals don’t know boundaries and we are so steeped in the whips over our backs; it is if we know no other language.Understanding should not come by accident but by clear cut rules and guidelines.Relationships are not about competition and scoring points.It should be about accomplishments,advancement and upliftment.

   Such a sad situation. I think our families need to learn how to communicate better. There need not be shouting and hitting. There needs to be more reasoning. We have to teach our children that there is a way for them to come out winners as well if they can communicate the correct way.

   In the GG inaugural speech we called on every sector except the Parents. NOT until we start holding parents accountable we are going no where. First order children national ID and compulsory attendance school based / social worker – Principal. By 8:35 am and 12:35 for shift schools – national attendance reporting. Parent of children contacted by 8:45am / 12:45 pm. Action taken and records updated.

   Come on we can do it.

   I would ban all things feminism from the home. The feminists are the ones teaching the hatred of fathers and male leadership in society.

   As the father said, the girl is never wrong in the eyes of the mother. The father should not have any authority over any female in the home or elsewhere. Whether his own child are not. Misandry and anti-patriarchal propaganda is the order of the day.

   You also hear: “Boys should be taught to respect women.” But you never hear “Girls should be taught to respect men.” How’s that? Girls and women are conditioned to be independent and to think lowly of males in the society. Their utterances are filled with nothing but negative, disrespectful and hateful diatribe.

   Sanitise the home of all things feminism, else nothing gets better. Only greater enmity and warfare in the home and society.

   A girl hitting her father? Wow!

   That aggressive daughter is very very delusional.
   She definitely has an anger and mental problem.
   And the mother is not helping her daata by not teaching her early ‘who wears the pants’.

   A lot of females get beat down because they don’t know the ‘lowered limits’ of their relatively flimsy muscles, compare to male muscles.

   When Mother Nature creates males as the more dominant gender, how risky is it for a female to show aggression towards ANY male?
   Sooner or later a man is going to ‘clean her clock’ — biff buff buff! lol

   A father may spare her now, but she is likely to grow up and ‘pass her place’ with a more aggressive male who will ‘return her childhood karma’, and return it with interest.

   A lot of females are getting more and more aggressive these days; because some misguided men help to delude the females that they could be ‘equal’ with males.

   Promotion of this ‘equality’ nonsense is very very dangerous for the female; because some females will feel inclined to challenge males, who have the bigger muscles and will use them, even to ‘save face’.

   YOU CANT AVOID THINGS LIKE THIS IN SOCIETY . BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MUCH FACTORS HERE AT PLAY. AND NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO . SOME PEOPLE STILL WONT GET IT. SO THE BEST THING FOR THE FATHER IS TO STAY OUT OF HER WAY AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. IF HE HAVE TO DEAL WITH HER DIRECTLY AND HE SEE THINGS GETTING OUT OF CONTROL HE SHOULD JUST WALK OUT , AS THE ADULT WHO KNOW WHAT THINGS LIKE THIS CAN SOME TIMES LEAD TO.
