Importance of Male Involvement in Boys' lives
Boys are often considered physically strong but emotionally and mentally weaker, highlighting the significance of male presence in their lives. Although single mothers are superheroes, the involvement of men is crucial. The absence of male figures can leave young men without male role models until their mid-twenties, impacting their development. Masculinity is portrayed as taking care of oneself, family, children, and community. However, true masculinity is defined by actively engaging in the lives of boys, a concept that has been tainted by scandals like those involving Michael Jackson and the Catholic Church. The decline of mentorship culture is noted, with a call to revive the traditions of apprenticeship and mentorship that America was built upon.
