When you get married and have kids, constantly teach your son that he is not better than females; imbibe in him the spirit of humility and debunk every perception of male chauvinism. He should equally cook sometimes like his sisters, he should wash, clean, tidy the house.
Teach him that if he is hungry, he needs to go and cook, not a woman..
Teach him that gizzard is for both genders..
If you'll teach your female kids that virginity is their pride, teach him same.
If you'll have to teach your female kids that sleeping around makes them lose integrity, teach him same..
Teach him that "HE CEASES TO BE A MAN AND BECOMES A BEAST" immediately he lays his hand on a woman..
Teach him not to think about marriage only because he cannot cook, because he's too busy or lazy to wash his clothes. No..
Teach him that what makes him a real man is how he treats his woman;
Teach him that his responsibility is to love his woman,
Teach him that listening to his woman doesn't make him a weak man..
Teach him that his woman has no business trying to keep him by going by some rules, nope. He's got to be responsible enough to stay committed..
Teach him that his opinions ain't superior just because he is male..
Folks,
One of the causes of our gender inequality is parenting. It started all at home. When our male and female children comes back from school, the male carelessly undresses and throws his uniform all over the house, parents asks the female to go arrange them, because?
She's female and needs to learn how to make a home..
She wakes up by 5am, he wakes up by 7am. Why?
She's a woman, she's got to wake up first and do chores..
And he sleeps till 7am and you say nothing as a parent?
She cooks all alone and serves, and even when there's a little flaw in the meal, you nag her, telling her that she won't make a good wife. In fact that she might not last in marriage.. Why?
Because she didn't cook well..
What of your son?
How many times have you told him of things that won't make him a good husband.
See, cultural bias have made us tilt the full responsibility of making marriage work to a woman. Even as early as 15, many females are being reminded of what they must do to be a virtuous woman; homely wife; that they must cook well, wash, clean, wake up early, ETC..
Do we remind our male children constantly these same things we instill in our females?
And when the average woman gets into marriage, her hubby doesn't care about kitchen, can't wash, can't help out, can't do nothing. She has to do everything to make it work, in as much as he is to blamed for such irresponsibility as an adult..
But who mothered him?
Who fathered him?
Your work as a parent isn't just to send your kids to school and when they grow you let them be. Nope, you've got to start now to mould them as a blessing to whoever they'll marry.
Parenting influences a child's future marital destiny. Parenting influences how a child treats the opposite sex.
Start from your home. Start debunking gender stereotypes. Boys should cook, they should also wake early, wash, clean..
Teach them too!!!
And watch what tragedy he'd avert in future for the woman he'll decide to spend forever with.
Save a woman in future by training your male children well today..
Have a nice day.
