Protector- Part of Man's DNA

I got this thought over the weekend listening to a talk by Jim Stenston, on his website parentleadership.com. He made a statement that really struck me, that a huge part of a man's identity is built on his role as protector! That doesn't mean that women don't see their role as a protector, but its built into the life of a man, its something that should give a man great happiness, because God clearly made men in this way to protect. I am always telling my boys, "God gave you, your strength so that you can protect your mom and your sisters," I say this partly to build them up, but also to protect my daughters, because both of my older sons have realized very early that they are much stronger than my daughters. Again, God does not make mistakes, so He either made men physically stronger so that they could dominate women, or He made men physically stronger so that they could protect and serve.
This is a point that doesn't get made enough in explaining the life of chastity for men. Because Chastity does not stop at marriage, Chastity is a life long virtue. Plus, the beauty of being human, that we choose our identity, if we did not live our calling to protect women in the past, we can begin anew today. I really believe that pornography would go out of business if men looked at their identity in this way, as someone who protects. Because it would become very difficult after a while for men to continue lusting after women in a magazine or on the Internet if they saw their role in life as someone who was put here to protect that women.
It is so liberating to see yourself in this light, as someone who protects, because every time we do, we are affirming who we are as men. While every time we act against our nature and play the role of predator and not protector, we weaken ourselves, and weaken our joy!
