Throughout generations men have protected women. Hollywood movies and Bollywood movies show heroes rescuing women. Disney movies have shown prince charming coming to the rescue of the princess.

Why do you think so?

It is because God wants us men to protect the women in our sphere of influence. That means a man should never ever take advantage of a woman in any situation. That also means a boy should never take advantage of a girl in any situation.

When we go away from Scripture and utilize our own views about men and women because of what culture tells us, we put ourselves in a very compromising position.

Culture and the progressives will tell you that women should be treated the same as men. If we buy into the culture, we as men will not be as helpful to women as we should be.

If you see a man carrying a load, would you as a man be more inclined to help him more or would you be more inclined to help a woman carrying that same load?

If we as men are honest, we would say that we would help the woman over the man! If we are pressed on why we would help a woman more than a man, our response would be because men are to take care of women. If we are pressed more, we might say, “God made men physically stronger than women, so men need to be the protector of women”.

What should the role of a husband be?

First and foremost, it is to protect his wife spiritually, physically, emotionally, relationally, and mentally because that is what God wants him to do.

Why?

The Bible says, “You husbands must be careful of your wives, being thoughtful of their needs and honoring them as the weaker sex. Remember that you and your wife are partners in receiving God’s blessings, and if you don’t treat her as you should, your prayers will not get ready answers.” (1 Peter 3:7, TLB)

Let us remember the phrase, “as the weaker sex”, refers to the women’s physical body structure compared to men’s physical body structure.

Men are required to register with the Selective Service if they are U.S. Citizens and turn 18 but women do not have to.

According to the Department of Defense, “As of January 2016, there has been no decision to require females to register with Selective Service or be subject to a future military draft. Selective Service continues to register only men, ages 18 through 25.”

According to the Supreme Court decision in 1981, “Rostker v. Goldberg, held that registering only men did not violate the due process clause of the Constitution."

Why do you think we don’t mandate women to register for the military draft?

Let common sense prevail over the progressive mentality of woman can do whatever man can do. There are things a woman cannot do as a man can do. There are also things a man cannot do that only a woman can do.

But both are needed for each other.

“And the Lord God said, “It isn’t good for man to be alone; I will make a companion for him, a helper suited to his needs. Then the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep, and took one of his ribs and closed up the place from which he had removed it, and made the rib into a woman, and brought her to the man. “This is it!” Adam exclaimed. “She is part of my own bone and flesh! Her name is ‘woman’ because she was taken out of a man.” This explains why a man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife in such a way that the two become one person.” (Genesis 2:18, 21-24, TLB)

We as men are to be joined to our wives and love them!

“Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her….  In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church, because we are members of his body. “Therefore, a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” (Ephesians 5:25, 28-31, TLB)

Women need to be protected by men even if it means men must die for women. This is paramount and of essential importance.

Men should never have an advantage over women because Lord called men to take care of women.

^“ When Jesus saw his mother standing there beside me, his close friend, he said to her, “He is your son.”  And to me he said, “She is your mother!” And from then on, I took her into my home.” (John 19:26-27, TLB)

When Jesus was crucified for us, Jesus did not want his mother Mary to be alone so He told His mommy that the apostle John would be her son. He told the apostle John that Mary would be his mother. So, the apostle John took Mary into his home.

The apostle John became the protector of Mary, the Mother of God.

What about us? What are we doing for women? What are we doing for girls?

We need to protect them in every aspect!

But, it starts with making sure that men are not in women’s locker rooms. It starts with making sure that men are not in women’s restrooms. It starts with making sure that men are not playing in women’s sports.

NFL Legend Jim Brown’s daughter Kim Brown, an African-American woman wanted America to know why as an African-American woman she was supporting former president Donald Trump over VP Kamala Harris, an African-American woman.

On Mon, Nov 04, 2024, at the Pittsburgh rally in PPG Arena, a few feet away from me, Brown gave a powerful speech that resonated not only in the arena but across the United States of America.

Brown said, “Just as my father #32 supported Donald Trump, so do I because Donald Trump is going to keep men out of women’s sports. I play women’s tackle football just like my dad. He is offense and I am defense. Can you imagine us going head to head? NO! I would be taken out on a stretcher with a concussion protocol. I will be hurt. That’s the same thing that is going to happen to your daughters. They are going to have major injuries, mental trauma of men coming into our bathrooms and our locker rooms, missed opportunities, and our scholarships taken away. Guess what? Who is going to bear the cost of that? You, as the parent! You are going to bear the cost of full tuition in this vicarious economy. Who can afford that? I CAN’T! CAN YOU? That is why we need to protect TITLE IX because TITLE IX protects us women in sports, bathrooms, and locker rooms…. So tomorrow Nov 5^th, we are all going to the polls to reelect Donald J Trump as the 47^th president of the United States of America! FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!”

As the father of two daughters, it is unconscionable to have ‘men who identify themselves as women’ to play against woman. This is just common sense.

Men need to be protecting their mothers, their wives, their daughters, etc. But, in this culture war, women need to be involved just as Riley Gaines, a former Penn State swimmer has been involved to protect women in sports against ‘men who identify as women and play’.

To say men, have no advantage if they take blockers before puberty is hogwash. Countless women have been injured by men in women’s sports.

According to Heritage.org, “A trans-identified six-foot-tall male player with facial hair playing for the KIPP Academy girls’ basketball team, injured multiple players and eventually forced the Collegiate Charter School to forfeit….In 2022, North Carolina volleyball player Payton McNabb suffered serious injury after a trans-identified male player spiked a ball at her head and rendered her unconscious.”

This is just the surface. It started with Trans-Gender athlete Lia Thomas taking away Riley Gaines championship and San Jose volleyball team using a Trans-Gender athlete to play against women. This is just wrong and has to stop.

Where are the feminists who stand up for women now? Where are they?

At least, we have a man though shunned by the mainstream media, by countless opposers, who is going to stand his ground to protect women in sports. He got my vote because he campaigned that he would sign an executive order to ban men in women’s sports. This man is Donald J Trump.

My hope is that he keeps his word again as he kept his word in 2016 with ‘Promises Made, Promises Kept’

Pittsburgh Standard, in its support of former president Donald J. Trump, is expecting that he will be the protector of women in sports. You can be confident of that too.

Throughout history women have depended on men to defend them and be their heroes. We believe with the Lord’s help, President-Elect Trump will rise to the occasion to protect women in sports by having a total ban of men in women’s sports.

Let us protect the girls and women in sports and beyond. Let us be their hero. Let it start with us men.

Let us remember some of the words to the song ‘I Need a Hero’ by Bonnie Tyler describing how many women feel.

“Where have all the good men gone? Where’s the streetwise Hercules to fight the rising odds? Isn’t there a white knight upon the fiery steed? Late at night, I toss and I turn and I dream of what I need! I need a hero! I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the end of the night! He’s gotta be strong and he’s gotta be fast and he’s gotta be fresh from the fight! I need a hero! I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the morning light! He’s gotta be sure and it’s gotta be soon and he’s gotta be larger than life!....It’s gonna take a Superman to sweep me of my feet! I need a hero! I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the end of the night! He’s gotta be strong and he’s gotta be fast and he’s gotta be fresh from the fight! I need a hero!! I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the end of the night!’

Be the hero to women. Just because you are a hero to women does not mean they are subservient to men. On the contrary, our Lord blessed both men and women to take care of the earth as He created male and female.

“So God created man in his own image in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” (Genesis 1:27-28, ESV)

What is amazing is that when “male and female he created them. And God blessed them. And God said to them….”, God gave authority to both man and woman to “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”

At the same time, men are called to protect women in all areas of life. May we as men do that for the women in our lives. May we stand up for women in sports keeping away men from them.

One of the reasons President-Elect Trump was elected was so women can be protected! Fifty-One percent of us have done that by our vote. But, it does not give us the right to stand down now. We need to keep FIGHTING! FIGHTING! FIGHTING!, so no women will ever fear playing women’s sports again!

Ramesh C. Reddy believes women need to be protected in women’s sports and the men and women need to take a stand to make that happen. But overall, Christ alone can be our Ultimate hero, for all men and women fail without the Lord’s help! He can be reached at reddy4hisglory@gmail.com
