Teach your sons!!!

Teach your sons this

The burden of leadership is responsibility and accountability. 
Deferring blame to another group is sometimes a form of submission.
No matter what a dog does, they'll always blame the owner 
No matter what a child does, society would always blame the parent
No matter who caused the ship to sink, the captain is always blamed
No matter what  women do,  men will always take the fall 

The term "Be a man!" has turned to an urban joke.
But really, it goes beyond not crying when you're distressed.
It's about being consistent and reliable.
It's about knowing that you can be counted on when it's time to salvage situations.
It's about being able to put a smile on people's faces even when you're dying inside.
It's about emotion management; not just the ability to hold back tears but ability to behave normally and morally in the presence of all sorts of emotions including envy, anger, sadness, lust, love, joy, sorrow and grief.

Tell your sons:
That the Y chromosome is not a flex
There is a reason you were given an extra engines;
Your lungs are larger, hearts stronger, bones as strong as steel and a will tougher than vibranuum.

The Y chromosome is there so you can take a beating 100 times and rise up one more time.
It's for you to weather the  storm for the rest.
It is to serve and protect.
You were made of the same stuff as gods.
Though you might be burned at a stake, you'd rise up again like the Phoenix.

Most importantly
Tell your sons 
That what makes a true man
Is his ability to say no to a promiscuous woman - the Achilles heel of all great men.
