Thanks for this. I didn't start having kids until my mid 30's (even though/because I love kids so much). A consequence of all the degeneracy (I don't know if it is intended or not) is that people are very wary of adult males giving kids attention, and I meet so many kids who desperately seek it, aren't able to fulfill that in a safe way and end up victimized or victimizing themselves as teenagers (think daddy issue sluts and window smashing boys)

It is also something that children love. It is a legitimate means of bonding with kids, and nearly all of them love it.

The only tools we have to love others are the ones that evil stick bastards use to exploit and destroy them.
