i applaud your stance on rape, and violence against women. not many men will actually come out and say what you did, and it does take balls to do it. i am completely in agreement with everything you said, except one thing (i guess there wouldnt be a post if i agreed with everything eh?). when you say that you will teach your daughter that if any man lays a hand on her in a way that is uninvited, or overly aggressive to take his life. i cant see that as being good teaching. i know it is your daughter, and you want nothing in the world to happen to her, but telling her to take a life, to me, isnt the right idea. self defense is a great thing to know, and it is a great thing to teach your daughter that (i would say it is also a great thing to teach your daughter to stand up for herself as a woman and a person but your wife is going to do that i can tell). if your daughter is one day in the situation (and i pray to god she isnt), and she does kill the guy, she'll most likely be imprisoned, not to mention have to live with the fact she killed someone. i am sorry to say i know a man who killed another man in self defense, and he still had to go to jail, not to mention has nightmares all the time. granted nightmares are better to have than knowing that you were either raped, or killed, but knowing you made it out alive, and are hopefully able to imprison the attacker (where if he is male will have to worry about rape [where i might add people in jail for rape or attempted rape, get what is coming to them bigtime, instant karma]). so self defense is something to teach but i dont see the logic in teaching to take a life.
the crazy thing is this, i know if someone to do anything to bring my mother, or anyone else i love dearly harm, i'd be hard pressed to not go kill them myself. wow i never thought about what a touchy subject it is (not rape, but the defense of it) until now. i just wishfully hope that all this nonsense of violence twoard women, or anyone, will be a thing of the past in the future. a guy can dream eh?
but i must say you're a lucky guy, you got yerself a great wife there, strong, smart, and if i read correctly fucks likes a demon. i hope to be so lucky to find a woman like that.
