Let’s face it: young men, especially those who grow up without their biological fathers, are constantly surrounded by women. Teachers, babysitters, and pediatricians are all jobs that skew heavily female. 

That’s not necessarily a bad thing, but if boys don’t have a balance of men in the formative years of their lives who can teach them hard lessons and guide them through tough times, they may feel adrift, struggle in school, and fall behind their female peers later in life. Maybe, they’ll become too feminine. Maybe, they won’t learn how to be gritty and hold themselves accountable. Maybe, they’ll be let off too........
