I am just sick and tired of these porcelain, delicate boys I see walking around masquerading as men. I am sick of men who cannot battle for anything or with anything.
These men do not know how to defend their women let alone their male pride.
I am sick of it! And I am even sicker of the parents we have become because we refuse to acknowledge raising men requires a fair amount of roughness and toughness.
If you want to raise a man who can fight for his place in this world, you might consider trying the following
- Ensure he plays a sport, actually more than one sports. The male energy must be expended on an activity that creates muscle and pits him against man. So, go for football, boxing, and combat spots and occasionally allow him to play games to develop his mind such as chess and PlayStation.
- Men are created to be combat machines, to be battle ready. Fat boys and fat men do not make the cut in the battle of life. Obese children do not look good and are bullied and ridiculed in school. Whatever you do, get your boy to eat right and to stay lean- cut out the junk
- Men do not belong in salons unless they are working there or are coming to pay the bill. Salon time must not be allowed to become mother-son bonding time. It is not cool for boys to be familiar with all the hues of nail polish, they should instead know about all the parts of male things like cars and machines. This habit is not cool, it turns boys into sissies. Enough Said.
- Boys need men to become other men. Yes we know our small boys are cute and cuddly but they need the rough and tumble that is part of maleness. Ensure boys spend enough time with their fathers at the barbers, at football games to ensure the bonding happens
- Finally, this is for mothers- your sons will one day need to be husbands and fathers and to lead homes. Wimps, sissies, do not make good husbands. So raise a man a woman can live with, unless you are lead to be cleaning up after a 40 year old man who refuses to grow up and leave your house.
