Can women raise boys into strong, responsible men? That's an interesting question that has varying answers. Some say no, others say yes. A woman can teach boys certain aspects about manhood such as respect/honor, responsibility, accountability but as far as imparting manly principles, she can't do it. How can a woman teach a boy about manhood and she's not a man? Just like a man can't teach a girl about being a woman. Too many young men raised by single mothers are exhibiting effeminate characteristics because they don't have a father in the home to show him the way. Even if a single mom is raising a boy, that child should have respectable male figures to show him the way. Strong women are rarely, if ever attracted to weak men and it makes sense because eventually she'll get tired of feeling like she's carrying the relationship so she'll want him to step up. This is why many women are frustrated because the thoroughbreds are the last of a dying breed; there's not many real men (one person's definition of a real man is different from the next) left. They are finding out quickly why men are important in the home. Women don't understand man principles, ways, things, perspectives. Therefore they can't impart manly wisdom to a boy. This isn't a knock on single moms because some mothers have raised strong, successful men but as far as manhood as a whole, women can't do the job.
