What Would It Take You To Raise Your Boy Child Well?

When we speak about raising a better man. The first thought that floods like an ocean into a lot persons mind is Feminism.


She must be a Feminist to even desire any sort of change in men. They say with contempt, and uttermost disgust.






Do you need to be a Feminist to talk about the ills in the society? Especially if it's perpetrated by a particular gender, most of the time.


This assertion doesn't in anyway mean that Women are not part of this disgraceful vice. No. It only means that is often dominated by men.



Especially, those who are not sane enough to discern what SELF DISCIPLINE, KINDNESS, and GOODNESS truly mean?


Young girls were recently raped, and murdered in cold blood, by unknown men of the underworld. Men who were supposed to protect them.






Men who were supposed to be there for them. People who should fight for, and with them.



Almost every day, a girl or boy somewhere, is raped by a Father, Mother, uncle, aunt, senior friend, friend, help, teacher, nanny, cousin or someone who swore to love and protect them.



How they are able to stand, seeing a human being cry and beg for mercy, while they meted out their atrocious act is way beyond my comprehension. And trust me, I don't even want to comprehend.






For Christ sake, why would Anyone want to forcefully take carnal knowledge of another.


Why? Why would anyone be audacious enough to look at a human being as nothing but a sex tool? Someone to toil with, or desecrate at will.







Worse still, some persons have the effrontery, nerve, and temerity to even think or spill out, with all gladness of heart, that girls or guys seduce them into rape.



Lord, I weep for us. Especially, those people that believe the "it's okay for men to cheat", or "men are polygamous in nature" notion.








Can we stop this, "because it's a man" mentality already? Can we?
What would it take you to raise your boy child well?


What would it take us to inculcate values in them? Why can't we raise our boys, without instilling the entitlement mentality in them?


When we ask you to take your time to tutor your male children, especially, so they would understand who they really are, what to do, and what not.






How to treat every single lady they come in contact with, starting with their sisters; So they wouldn't fall into identity crisis when they clock puberty.
Are we asking for too much?



If you ever have any reason, whatsoever, to condole or justify rape, then it's either you are a rapist, or about to be.


Every act starts from the mind. You don't watch what you don't like.
And this also goes out to every lady out there.
