An ongoing conversation I have been having for about five months with an IBMOR friend and brother (I am white, but he IS my brother) is the fact that women cannot raise men. Thankfully he and I agree. It is impossible for a woman to know what a man is. Therefore it is impossible for her to raise a male child from boyhood to manhood. She CAN teach him morality and how to be well behaved with perfect manners, but she can NEVER turn a boy into a man.

To be a man, a boy must leave his mother and be with other men, and then he must be alone with only himself to grow into a man (more could be said about what it means to be alone with himself, but idk if this is the forum for that).

A mom can give love, and can teach many wise things, but she can never create a man. Women hate this fact, and they hate hearing it. My ibmor buddy and I have had many conversations with women. Very few finally come around and admit that we are right, but most call us pigs and think the only thing that separates us from women is our plumbing. No, there is much more to being a man than plumbing, and the fact that these single moms don't get that is exactly why they can NOT EVER make a man out of a boy!

Thoughts?
