Never claimed to, just putting my working mans prospective on the feminization on our sons.
Femenization? What do you think happens when men are raised by women, with no father around to show them what it means to be a man?
You act like they are isolated, like being raised by wolves.
Mothers are people and show their children how to be people.
No. Women and men are not the same. Shelve that nonsensical fantasy. Women do the best they can in most cases I’m sure. But no woman will ever be able to teach a boy what it means to be a man.
All too often they simply teach young boys how to be the man she wishes she landed, instead of the one she actually spread her legs for.
What must be taught to make a boy into a man? Be specific, please.
By the way, I made no claim that men and women are the same. I said women are people. Do you disagree with that?
Can't believe somebody finally asked the question.
Unfortunately, it takes a lesson in reality. First, let's talk about traditional roles - not to say that they are unique to a particular gender, but rather, that they are roles that must be assumed by SOMEBODY.
Men have, for eons, been the hunter, the protector, the provider, the creator. Women, on the other hand, have been the nurturer, the mother, the provider of succor and sympathy. There is no reason that men can't do the women's roles, or vice versa. But, the point is that SOMEBODY has to - in any relationship, in any society, in any civilization.
The questions becomes not what - but WHO.
Neither gender is very good at accepting the roles of the other. It is intrinsically impossible to combine the roles in a single person.
When you are the one who binds his wounds, are you capable of also telling him to shut up, suck it up, and keep going? Hardly.
When you are the one who tells you little boy that life is sacred, and all animals should not be mistreated or killed, are you also the one capable of telling him to ignore all that and kill that cute little bunny rabbit because you're hungry? Hardly.
When you are the one who teaches him to be kind to people, to respect his elders, to always obey the person in authority, are you also the one capable of teaching him that sometimes, you just have to kill the motherfucker? Hardly.
Men have their role in the raising of a son - and women have their role, as well. If they BOTH do their jobs well, the son is adjusted and capable. If not, he will tend toward one side of the spectrum or the other.
The dissolution of the nuclear family - coupled with the feminist movement - has created an imbalance in those roles. Women say they don't need men, and men leave. Women say they can handle it on their own - and men let them. Men no longer feel the responsibility to care for their families - they just leave. There was a time when a man accepted his responsibility - and there was a time when society pressured him to do so. No longer - today, we have the government acting as quasi-fathers.
Sad to say, we have a prime example right here in our country today, but it is impolitic to point it out.The percentage of black single mothers has doubled in the last 30 years. The percentage of black single mothers who receive support, or assistance, from a man has dropped by 80% in the past 40 years. There were more black children aborted in 2015 than were BORN!
Some will scream!!! He dares to blame the feminist movement!! How dare I?? I must be a misogynist, a woman-hater, a religious right wing nut. Not so. The feminist movement, while it cloaks itself in the robe of equality and fairness, has transmorphed into a power grab. It is not enough that women be equal - they must be in charge. They can't cooperate with men - they must rule them, control them, subjugate them. While this is, obviously, bad for a male-female relationship, it is catastrophic for a little boy trying to find his role in society. He watches, and he learns.
Every little boy, in order to understand society, in order to adjust to his roles, in order to function, must determine what roles are expected of him, and which roles he will accept. (Little girls are no different - they need role models, too). If he confuses the roles society expects of him, he will not be able to function successfully in that society. He will be judged - like it or not - by the traditional roles society expects of him. The so-called Alpha female does her son no good - in fact, as we've seen for the past 40 years, she does him great harm.
