The boy child. Depicted as the bastion of bad dance styles like odi dance, refusing to study, refusing to take responsibility, refusing to marry, and when married refusing to act married whilst fatherhood is reduced to selfies once a month or at best, a week, at a fun place where beer is sold 50 metres from the bouncing castle, where he has “lovingly” exiled his children.

Being of this gender myself I have pondered the question of what went wrong? When did the proverbial rain start beating us? My first thought is on parenting: in many households the only chore the boy child does is play.
