Despite the utterly tragic events that occurred recently in Colorado, the heroism of many of the victims gives one a sense that faith in humanity is still warranted. It is especially heartwarming to see young men stepping up to the plate and fulfilling their roles as protectors, even though it cost them their lives. This article in the National Post describes how, during the shooting, four men instinctively jumped on top of their girlfriends, taking fatal bullets to protect the lives of the women they loved – a beautiful testimony to the loving complementarity that has always existed between the sexes.

Well, that restores my faith in humanity somewhat. I just read about Jamie Rohrs, who abandoned his own baby, the baby’s mother, and her 4-year-old daughter to save himself. The woman and her children were helped to safety by a 19-year-old young man (a stranger to them), who took a bullet in the leg while doing so.
Yes and I didn’t see many newspaper articles about the women who lept to take a bullet for their boyfriends – or anyone else for that matter. As Warren Farrell points out in his book The Myth of Male Power: men are the disposable sex. Why?
