Can a woman teach her Son masculinity?

[Jaguarheart12]

The best examples would be

Soccer ledgend Christiano Ronaldo, he was raised by a single woman and look how strong masculine he is

She could find help

If she wants to or wanted to

Yes she can , many strong masculine men like Christiano Ronaldo was raised by a single woman

[Lionman95]

No she can´t. She can model him what a woman wants from a man because boys aren´t raised solely by their parents but also by teachers and role-models.
A mother can help her son find good and healthy rolemodels for life but she can´t be a masculine man and doesn´t know the struggles he faces without him telling her.
by the way if she could then there wouldn´t be any conflicts between the sexes hence women and men were totally able to understand each other and there would be no sense for websites like this.

She could model some stuff but at the end of the day, a child needs a role model of both genders. If a girl only had her dad telling her and trying to show her what "a woman should be like", she'll probably be disgusted by the idea and rebel. I imagine it would be the same for a son. Plus, children needs to learn how to interact with the same gender. A boy needs to learn how to be "one of the boys", that something that he would learn from his dad. There's hardly, if not a single, positive statistic about single parent homes (for both genders, not only single moms).

For me masculinity is if a man can polish his own shoes. Iron his own shirt, sort out his own Cupboard and clean up the mess he made freshening upon the bathroom
Among the Classic examples.
And have priorities over his home and 🏠

[Jaguarheart12]

Putting his wife and kids above himself

[Jaguarheart12]

And taking care of his Parents

@jaguarheart12 there are definitely things that a single mom can teach her son but she won't understand everything or be able to do everything. A single parent, mom or dad, has to balance two roles at once: theirs and that of the missing parent. There are single moms who raise their sons and daughters to be good feminine women or good masculine men like Ronaldo's mom but it's a difficult job and it's a rare to completely succeed at it if at all possible. I'm sure men go through difficult times that other men would understand better than a woman. Sometimes it's easier to have someone who has experienced the same and not only heard about it, y'know?

[Jaguarheart12]

The boys who's mother's "CARE" about them are a handful, but they are among the "Blessed"

[Jaguarheart12]

Reason why I say that is because she Sympathise with her boys through the hard times and hold their hands through the storms of life.
Not all women do that, but I adore those who do

[letuswaltzforthedead]

@jaguarheart12 yeah, I think that happens with both parents. Its difficult to relate and understand the problems of the opposite gender so most dont try. It's still good for the son to have some men in his life (I guess Ronaldo probably had since his culture's much more traditional) but if a mom tries to step up, that could work just not ideally. The statistics are against single motherhood. Most kids end up in bad places, so a mom would have to read up and learn a lot to understand. Not saying single moms are bad or anything, it's just hard work.

He had adult male coaches and trainers his whole life as examples. Your thesis is FLAWED. He had more male examples in his life than 90% of the two-parent household. His sport is how he learned manliness. You obviously 🙄 have no clue how life works.

[Jaguarheart12]

Portugal is a very masculine country
Portuguese women hold on tools traditional values where they believe that boys should play with trucks and cars and play sports. unlike western European culture

[Jaguarheart12]

Southern eurpeans are very traditional I. Terms of boys becoming men, Portuguese women are strict on raising masculine sons

[Jaguarheart12]

Unlike Spain and western European countries

[Guy13]

Cool. Thanks for data.

[DeWALTer]

No.

YouTube the documentary by Bill Moyer, "A Gathering Of Men" with Robert Bly. Masculinity doesn't mean "being a man". The boy must be initiated into manhood by other older men. The mother must "surrender" the boy.

[FreedMan]

She would have to find help. Men learn masculinity from other masculine people so another GOOD male role model even if the father isn't present. I can't teach my daughter the intricacies of being a woman or being feminine.

[andreasderjuengere]

''Hi, young man. Where's your Dad?''

'' I don't know. Mom could not keep him''.

or:

''I don't know. He is a jerk''

Cool 😎

[BeMuse]

Dude vaxed himself to fit in and now he has a heart condition. He's a sheep bitch. He's not masculine at all.

[Dinosaursandanime65]

I think that part SORT OF helped itself, mainly what matters is her being able to teach him how to be a “man” or as I more accurately and preferably like to call, a Giga Chad

[Adronicus]

No. I was raised by a single mother. My saving grace was my Grandfather, WW2 marine vet.

[CuriousMufuxka]

I'm not saying no, but having both parents is far more beneficial than just one. Well unless they're abusive, but that's become quite rare.

[Anonymous]

No. Every boy without a father in his life will find a male role model to look up to. There's a reason for that.

[Hogoblin_of_Venice]

No isn't an option? Some question.
