Ah, thanks for replying. My mother and I were talking about how a big problem today is men need men, and a whole generation of men were raised by women.
My dad was around; even though we actually have a deeper relationship now that I am out of the house with a family of my own, his willingness to bend over backwards for his children amd his guidance inspired me to want to be a father too.
His father was not around, but he had an uncle that took him under his wing and taught him to be a man.
Then I see your comments and it turns out you too had men who guided you, even if your father did not.
I really think the death of masculinity is something that is direly wrong with our culture. I used to work with kids, one of the few men who did, and I had a mother remark to me once "I'm glad you work here. (My son) has mellowed out so much at home now that he has a guy to spend time with." Both his parents worked and he was stuck all day with old woman in an androgynous environment.
Yeah, I’m a young woman and I definitely see a crisis of masculinity in my age cohort. Actually it’s a crisis of maturity period.
I have friends who are completely paralyzed at the thought of growing up. People want their moms to tell them what to do and expect the world to be handed to them.
It blows my mind that a whole generation failed to parent. Instead they just want to be the cool, hip parents with their kids. My mom always raised me with discipline, much to my chagrin lol, but I feel like boundaries/maturity are foreign concepts to a lot of my friends.
It’s depressing, but hey. There’s some sane people out there to help guide us.
Oh sorry, I though you were a dude. Damn faceless internet.
Daddy issues are a stereotype for a sad but real reason though, and boys who don't have a strong mother grow up fucked in the head too.
I guess in the end its what you said, it is a lack of boundaries that mess kids up. I personally think that the masculine parent sets most of those boundaries, or is psychologically equipped to set them well if they themselves are formed well.
A complete destruction of the dynamic between men and women has broken parenthood and yes, led to a generation thst not only don't know how to be good men and women but don't even know what a man and woman are. Im at the tail end of millenials and I shudder to think what our generation is doing to the next.

Anyway, im just trying to get thoughts in order.
