A boy will learn who and what he is from a man or company of men

He cannot learn it from any other place
He cannot learn it from other boys
He cannot learn it from women

The plan was this: A father would lay the foundation, pass knowledge and confidence to the boy

Many failed
We can choose to pretend, but the truth is this, we have always wanted or craved a father's attention or approval as men, we got grades and Daddy's smile was what we wanted above all.

Understand this when raising your sons

Teach them to be men, teach them what "Man" means
So many fathers were psychologically distant from their sons, only appeared when it was time to flog or scold? This is not it

This distance forced many to look for role models outside, someone to model their lives after, sometimes it was the neighbor or the "uncle" next door
