The next time Cho Ju-Bin, a 25 year old Korean man, gets to walk free again will be 2060. He admitted to sexually exploiting women online. Obviously, he had a good understanding of how the human mind worked and how to gain compliance. Unfortunately, he used that knowledge to get women to send sexually compromising photos and videos to him. In turn, he would sell access to this to people who would pay.
Here is the story:

When God created man his job was to provide and protect her. He was to exercise leadership that would help her blossom into her full potential. She was literally a part of him, both physically and spiritually. That was the original design.
In the history of wars, men always fought for their women (and children). Nations didn’t send their women into battle to protect the men. It is built into the male DNA to fight and protect women. Unfortunately, sin has twisted this design and men have exploited and used women in unthinkable ways.
Here are some verses that speak on men’s design:
- 1 Timothy 5:8- But if anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for members of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.
- 1 Peter 3:7- Likewise, husbands, live with your wives in an understanding way, showing honor to the woman as the weaker vessel, since they are heirs with you of the grace of life, so that your prayers may not be hindered.
- Ephesians 5:25- Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her,
- Colossians 3:19- Husbands, love your wives, and do not be harsh with them.
Sure, these verses are in the context of marriage, but the general ethos prevails. You were made bigger and stronger than women so use that to fight for the women around you. Look out for them. Care for them. Here are some ways you can do it:
- Walk a woman to her car especially if it’s dark and the neighborhood is shady.
- Open a door for her.
- Offer to help her move furniture.
- Be available and approachable.
You might be wondering, “Well, if I do these things what’s in it for me?” Let me put it this way if you don’t fight for women you’re not a real man. Your masculinity is at stake. Is that reason enough?
