| CAN A woman TEACH A boy how to be a MAN!
Posted: 6/30/2005 4:14:17 PM | I say No. I mean don't get me wrong but if a woman could raise a boy to be a man then what would be the point of a kid needing the father around then. yea a woman could teach him to pee and all that stuff but there are things that a man can teach a kid that a woman can't.
Also do you believe that a man can teach a girl to be a woman, just think about it. I don't think so. There are some things that a man can teach a girl just like there are some things a woman can't teach a boy. I wasn't trying to offend anyone by stating that.
True enough some men are a** wholes and a woman could raise a boy better than them but see those aren't men they're boys themselves. A boy can't teach a boy how to be a man.
I don't believe a man is a man just because he's a certain age, I believe you are defined as a man by your actions and how you carry yourself and your responsibilities. DON'T YOU AGREE? | |

Posted: 6/30/2005 4:22:40 PM | I agree yes and no.
Mostly no with respect to your statement in the post.
Children need proper role models. They need security and need to be loved. They need to be able to talk to mom or dad easily about anything. They need to be taught right from wrong. They also need to be educated in order to be molded into our future citizens that will integrate into the community. | |

Posted: 6/30/2005 4:27:01 PM | Sorry... I disagree...I think a woman can teach a boy to be a man.
My mom raised my brother all by herself.... of course he did spend
some time with our dad but not much til after he was already a grown man.
And he turned out to be a GREAT man. My dad and he are best friends now. | |

Posted: 6/30/2005 4:50:15 PM | I don't agree as I don't think it is so much about teaching a boy to be a man, or a girl to be a woman, but more to try and teach them to be a good person.
I have 3 daughters and 1 son, and I treated and taught them all the same things. I do not think a man could have done any better than I did raising my son. He is now 21. He is in university with a 4 point average, works as a manager of a pizza place(also has a land scaping business with three of his friends), and lives with a wonderful young woman that will most likely one day become his wife. He has lots of friends, is respectful of those older than himself. I am sorry but I don't understand your point. | |

Posted: 6/30/2005 6:58:27 PM | I think a woman is NEEDED to teach a boy how to be a man. Being a man entails, among other things, knowing how to respect and honor and deal with women....no?
I like when my woman teaches me how to be HER man ya know. | |

If he was that insecure he's not worth knowing..
As far as a woman teaching a man... Give me a break !!!

Posted: 7/2/2005 1:46:05 PM | We don't raise men or women...we raise children. Those children will grow to become men and women on their own.
Many children do quite well with just one parent, and in some cases, they might even do better. If you want a child to grow up with the best chances in life, then just be a good parent. | |

Posted: 7/2/2005 7:23:52 PM | | I totally disagree. I believe mother and father are equally important for both girls becoming women and boys becoming men. I believe the separation is women bring more of the emotional developement, where men bring more of the social developement. I need to dig up that pamphlet again. | |

Posted: 7/3/2005 1:06:03 PM | oh i believe totally that a woman can teach a boy how to be a man
im a single parent of one child he is 9 i left his father when he was 2 years old because of abuse. i was scared that i would not be able to do it but let me tell you this..
My son excells in school, plays sports and has great sportsmanship. he goes to church not regularily but he goes he sees his dad..once in awhile but i am the main care provider.. i work fulltime i raise him fulltime i dont bring men home to meet him i have had male friends for yrs that have not met my son.. i figure i want my son to love women and respect women so i do my damn best to show him strong qualities.. When he meets ppl for the first time he shakes there hand and asks how they are doing and when i meet his friends he interduces me as his mother not mom. he respects nature and life, he doesn not fight with kids he does not swear.
so can a woman teach a boy to be a man...i believe it is possible. im sure time will tell but my son is off to a great start. and i wish him the best in life he deserves it | |

Posted: 7/3/2005 2:10:14 PM | Hi Televiper,
While I agree that its most beneficial to have two well adjusted parents to raise a child, I do not agree with stereotypical roles of mother and father in regards to social and emotional development. With my children, I am the nurturer and I'm very empathetic with both their emotional and their social needs. It is possible, and I don't believe that all men or all women should be labelled and categorized by a pamphlet. If you believe the pamphlet you might be agreeing to abide by a societal standard that doesn't have to be correct. Step outside of the box and be all that you can be. | |

Posted: 7/4/2005 5:48:39 AM | I am a mother of a young boy, he is 7 months old.
I think that a woman can teach her son to be a man. Maybe I dont know how to fix cars and paint a whole house but I can teach him the emotions that come along with being human. I can teach him from my past experiences with men and what to do and not do with women. Respect, tolerance, strength, education, love, maturity are all traits that a man should have just as much as women should have.
If your idea of raising a man is the physical aspects, then ok maybe I cant do that. Intellectually and emotionally I can teach him that. I can teach him to be someone great without wondering if I am doing my job right. Being male is a gender not a trait. We all have feelings and emotions.
So to answer this question : can a woman teach a boy how to be a man? yes we can! | |

Posted: 7/4/2005 6:37:26 AM | Hello Everyone
I really beleive that us woman can teach our boys to be decent men and to honor and respect others. I was called the drill sergant but today they are adults and they respect me a lot. Always be firm on your words and never give in. It does pay off. They are independent now and even though there dad is around.............it's Mom they come too if they need advice or to confide there deepest toughts and I really mean deepest of the deepest toughts. My heart is always with them and I stand by them. Just be strong and stand tall no matter there size........LOL. Take care all. | |

Posted: 7/4/2005 7:35:48 AM | you idiot...they are talking about a single mom teaching her son to be a man.
I do believe a woman can teach her son to be a man. I am a single mom of a 16 yr boy and a 5 yr girl. My son's father was a self-centered man. He was not what you would call your "TYPICAL" father . He never played ball or taught him to drive or showed him to shave or even talked to him about the "BIRDS AND THE BEES".
I have drilled into my sons head on how a man should act. Don't get me wrong but men have a weird perception of what a boy needs to know and doesn't need to know.
All my son had was myself to try to teach him the right and wrong's of the world. And I believe a did a pretty DAMN GOOD JOB OF IT.
Yes my son is your typical 16 yr old boy, but he also knows that when it comes right down to being a man he has one hell of a head on his shoulders. And he understands that a man is more than the TESTOSTERONE GENE.

Posted: 7/4/2005 8:24:32 AM | THE MOTHERS SON BY R KIPPLING'S,I have a dream, A dreadful dream ,A dream that is never done.I watch a man go out of his mind,and he is my mothers son.They pushed him into a mental home,and that is like a grave;for they do not let you sleep upstairs,and you arent allowed to shave.and it was not disease or crime which got him landed there,but because they laid on my mothers son more than he could bear.what with noise and fear of death,waking,and wounds and cold,they filled the cup of my mothers son fuller than it could hold.they broke his body and his mind and yet they made him live,and they asked more of my mothers son than he could give.for,just because he had not died,nor been discharged nor sick,they dragged it out with my mothers son longer than he could stick...and no one knows when he'll get well-so,there he'll have to be;and ,spite of the beard in the looking glass,I know that man is me!.......my point being anyone can raise a child,its the child that controls the outcome of his teachings some are capible and others self destrucked.all you can do is be there for them when they do thanks, | |

I repeat...n...o....
No one can "make" anyone anything. You can encourage someone to do the right things, but you can't make them think of what is the right thing on their own.
If you are into babysitting someone's growth process, by all means have at it...but it is not a woman's job (unless she is his mother) to make a man out of a boy. It is his job to live and learn like everyone else. Let him run to his mom for advice...
I want to be someone's "girl" not someone's mother or teacher.
I think the only role model that can instruct a boy into how to be a good man is a good man who is in the position of respect to do it.
Lots of moms trying to build men out of their sons out there...it was never their job in the first place, where the heck are the fathers? | |

Posted: 7/4/2005 1:19:57 PM | blastkist: if women and men sit there and say, well i want the father/mother around to teach them the traits of a man and woman then thats sad to say. If a parent is absent, then it is up to us to do our best to show them how to be a better person and not someone that is best based on the gender. It is quite ignorant to say " where the heck are the fathers?"
Not all children that have no father is always the fathers fault. Sometimes the father passed away, the mother just simply never told the father or the woman was raped and she decided to keep the baby. If in society we sit there and blame the other party, all this world will be is full of blame and ignorance. We should take control of the situation and make the best of it.
My father mostly raised me and I can tell u that I am just as much of a woman as any other woman out there. He taught me what he knew best and maybe even more then what my mother could of taught me. | |
