Thinker Quote and Response to Clare Boothe Luce

I have an app that brought up the following quote and it demanded a response.
“Women know what men have long forgotten. The ultimate economic and spiritual unit of any civilization is still the family.”

Clare Boothe Luce

In response to Mademoiselle Luce, we have not forgotten. Men conscious of the importance of the gender to human progress are confronting the vapid ignorance of the left, reclaiming leadership in the family, and reengaging a more perfect understanding and approach to character. Some men may have made a mockery of the institution and their affects have been detrimental to society.

It is seeking to establish a sense of self by making something else more central to your significance, purpose, and happiness than your worship to God.
