Such a person can't be trusted. How can you trust someone who puts loyalty to individuals ahead of truth? It's like a member of the mob saying, "Ya gotta do dis for da family." Criminal gangs have similar loyalties.
A person who has no higher ideals than loyalty to family is a wretch. |
Why is this line of reasoning only applicable to the male gender, as implied by your article?
edit: You should probably add a footnote, explaining that all of the traits listed could also apply to women.
