Can a Woman Raise a Boy to Be a Man?

[Kamishiro]

Yes, but it will take longer than normal. In any case, women raises their children and try their best to implant morality and well behaviour in them. All Men do in any boy's life is to get him out of the house and try to apply his outside experience on him. If the dad isn't there, at worst case scenario, the boy will be isloated from the outside world until he gets to the point when he will have to face it. Normal cases, however, they will take longer to adapt to the outside world and get the necessarily experience to face it.

He will find a role model anywhere, that is not an issue. He can find it in religion, politics, music, sports or even relatives.

I don't think you can raise a child to be a man or woman. How the kid responds to life will determine what kind of man/woman they'll be.

I second this ^

 

[Tantalus Thief]

Yeah why not

 

[Xlad]

Yes. All needs to be said.

 

[Insidious Smile]

Sometimes women fail and the kids they were trying to correctly raise turns out to be gay.

 

[Pumpkin Ninja]

I don't think having a manly father would determine whether you'd be one too.

 

[Ciao]

Are there women out there who can raise a boy to be a man? Yes.
Can every woman out there raise a boy to be a man? No.

So are you saying a gay man can't be a real man? And what is your definition of a man? Did fathers who have gay sons fail them even though they are perfectly normal in every other aspect? I just don't see why gay men can't be real men.

 

[SoundBar]

Define "man". Someone boisterous, stoic, athletic and domineering? Those are some traits associated with the stereotype; some of them aren't exactly good either.

You should look beyond such primitive concepts and change the question to, "Can a woman raise a good person?"; in which case, the answer is a certain yes. Just as father could for a daughter.

I agree with this 100%. I think anyone can raise a good person, whether that person is male or female is irrelevant. Once you remove the social roles and stereotypes, you are free to raise a well rounded human being.

You seem a little mad, I'm not going to lie, and I don't know what you are talking about. Gay males are men, they are just gay.

Why do you assume being gay is normal? :lol

Yes! She will teach him to not be a jerk to women.

meanwhile he's gonna be really confused as to why he keeps striking out lmao...

 

[Power Bottom]

Yes a woman can

 

[Yubel]

Yeah boys need a male role model but it doesn't necessarily have to be their dad. Also their dad might've been raised by a single mother so he can't really teach his boy to be a man either. Men without real fathers will simply have to make up for what they lack by seeking out male role models in their life that show them what they lack as a man so they can work towards attaining it. It's not impossible for a boy without a father to be a real man but he loses alot by not having a real man in his life. It's also alot harder for him to learn what comes naturally to other men.

lol I'm not bitter, just addressing our difference in opinion, lets try to stay on topic without useless low balling, plus whether I think being gay is normal or not is not the subject at hand, we can be civil about this.

Anyway, I'll try to reiterate. You said women who raised boys who turned out gay failed to raise them to be men, why? If they take care of what needs to be done are they not men? If not, what is your definition of a man?

So what is it a boy is missing when raised by a mother that a father teaches them? I've been asking this to a ton of people, but no one seems to be able to give a clear answer.

Definition^


Anyone can raise a good person.

 

[Genjitxu]

Yes
What two parents provide is that 2 on 1 united front against the kid.
Kids benefit from having 2 parents in agreement deciding things in the house. Else kids start arguing and negotiating.
Kids also benefit from modeling the behavior of 2 parents as they resolve conflict and arrive at decisions. You watch mom and dad discuss and work things out and you, as a boy, think "ok even though dad is bigger I see his strength is used to support mom and he values her opinion."

How do you define "to be a man and woman" to begin with

Just having two parents doesn't make everything magically better. The parents have to be healthy themselves but what boys with single mothers do is they lack sufficient levels of self-esteem. They usually lack direction in life and easy to get them to do what you want. They have problems with the opposite *** when they grow up. They don't respect themselves and act weak + they have a hard time facing challenges in their life. These are usually the result of being raised by a single mother, the root problem being low self-esteem and no confidence. Most of the time, those single mothers have their own flaws that made them single mothers and it can be a very toxic environment for a young boy to grow up in.
