Or women who bear children and then do not bother to raise them. Most women can be mothers; can they be Moms?

People just need to look at who the have children with. If the man doesn't care about the woman he is with there's a good chance he won't care about the kid. Sex without commitment may end with a fatherless child.

Then again boys are taught to become a man by men. Men understand the world isn't fair and you take care of yours. It's a hard lesson learned and its a process.

Agree. But sadly, too many boys today learn to be "men" by watching porn and listening to other inexperienced boys on the Internet.

There are a lot of ways to be a man. Some boys are raised by fathers who don't teach them to respect women, who teach them violence is the answer to their problems, who are never satisfied with their children's accomplishments and let them know it, and myriad other poor behaviors. I'd rather see a boy raised solely by a competent, loving mother than one raised by some of the men I've known. Yes, in an ideal world kids would be raised by two well-adjusted parents, but that doesn't mean they can't be raised well in other family situations.

Yes by saying "I feel you!! The same goes for women who refuse or can't or choose not to be mothers!!!" I think they mean women who have children but don't raise them.

I think it is great you are able to do what your own father was unable to OP.

The key is don't have children with incompetent men. A man will instruct a boy on how to be a man. Just as a woman will guide a girl on how to be a lady. Most of our relationship problems comes down to the people we choose.
