day no. 15,177: night watchman as wet nurses

"You don’t normally talk of 'strong women of valor' or 'graceful men of beauty.' Of course you can give an infant to a man to nurse and a M107 .50-caliber sniper rifle to a woman to take out an insurgent, but it would not be according to the best wisdom would it? The fit is much more appropriate the other way around and not only that, things work out better for both....God’s order of creation is patently clear. When men and women follow it they are better off and stronger as a people. When they do not follow it they compromise their integrity and end up weaker as a people." -- Matthew Pennock, As a Man Is so Is His Strength

When we refuse to man our stations, we leave ourselves open to attack and fail to fulfill the responsibilities of the station we ran off to. When the night watchman opts to be the wet nurse, the baby is less safe by two. The city is under protected and the child is under nourished. There is nothing a man can naturally produce to protect the child's need for nourishment. There is something a man can do naturally to protect the child, however. Return to the watch tower and keep the mother safe. Men participate in nursing the babies by using their strength to keep their mothers safe. Women participate in protecting the city by nursing the boys that will grow up to be strong enough to protect the city.

Luke 11:27
“Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts at which you nursed!”
