Your argument reads like Palahniuk's satircal message in Fight Club.
These concepts of masculinity our culture pines for are destructive and unproductive. A woman is no less qualified to raise a man than a man.
No one has told them their success is evil. You're conflating women being told their success is success with men being shunned. There's a perception that women and minority groups have somehow gained an advantage in the last 30 years. What they've gained is some measure of equality with white males who still earn more, are more likely to get jobs and aren't stigmatized for their existence. If you believe white males are stigmatized for their existence, consider the stereotypes, lack of representation, and abuse women and minority groups face on a daily basis.
If a man can only find a role model in a man with x testosterone level, we are in dire shape as a society.
>A woman is no less qualified to raise a man than a man.
It's not that women aren't qualified, it's that children need father figures as much as they need mother figures:
>72% of juvenile murderers, and 60% of rapists came from single mother homes. Chuck Colson, “How Shall We Live?” Tyndale House , 2004, p.323
>“The strongest predictor of whether a person will end up in prison, is that they were raised by a single parent”. C.C. Harper and S.S. McLanahan, “Father Absence and Youth Incarceration”, Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the American Sociological Assoc., San Francisco, CA, 1998
>“After controlling for single motherhood, the difference between black and white crime rates disappeared.” Progressive Policy Institute, 1990, quoted by David Blankenhorn, “Fatherless America: Confronting Our Most Urgent Social Problem,” New York, Harper Perennial, 1996, p.31
I recall but can't find a meta-analysis which found that over 80% of children in single mother households read into stats with no critical thought.
Poverty is a more convincing factor in the way people raised by single parents turn out than that they didn't have a father figure (traditionally the financial provider btw).
