Touchy subject for some, but let’s touch base with what REALLY may be the problem with women finding a good man these days…

One of my girlfriends, the mother of a four-year-old boy, stated “all this foolishness that some of these men put women through is a direct result of their mothers not demanding that they respect women in the first place. You can raise your boy to get an education or get a good job- but if you’re not raising him to be accountable for how he treats women, then you aren’t doing your job as a mother or a woman.” A father added, “I’m amazed at how many fathers know that their sons are dogs, but don’t call them out on it. They just turn a blind eye, make excuses, and even dismiss their son’s behavior as something they will grow out of. What kind of man takes pride in knowing that his son is the cause of another woman’s pain?” And lastly, there’s my sister, mother to my nephew, who steadfastly proclaimed, “my son will know better than to play games with any female. This momma’s not having it. He knows momma’s not afraid to put the good foot up his ass!”

Parents, especially those raising sons, need to take a hard look at what type of men they’re raising their boys to be. Are we raising our sons to be honorable, God-fearing men? Are we raising our sons to be introspective and empathetic? Are we holding our sons accountable for the way they treat another person’s mother, daughter, or sister? Are we teaching them to treat women the way they’d want another man to treat their mother or sister? Are we raising them to be the type of men we’d want to marry?

How do you feel about this? Are we raising unfit men?
