What could be more "profound" and moral,
than consideration for one's children and family?

"Double-A's" position that men are inferior to women,
in regards to consideration of children and family, appears to be "sexist",
but no doubt he is right on this point.

The evidence seems to prove
that women will sacrifice much more for the sake
of their children and families,
than most men.

And of course,
some men will even abandon their children and families,
in pursuit of personal agendas, usually sex, money, and ego satisfaction.
