well.. From what I've seen a man can raise a great woman but a woman can't raise a man because Men aren't raised, they're made. You can take a male with stand up parents and he can still turn out to be a piece of shit or you can take a male that never had nothing in life, mom strung out and it's up to him to decide he wants better and tries to achieve it. That's when the male becomes a man. Also, you can have a girl who daddy didn't show her enough attention and she ends up out there. Or, you can take a girl and have daddy teach her some self worth and she'd be straight. It's not a diss or nothing it's just mothers tend to be the nurturing type and a man doesn't need to be nurtured he needs to learn the value of hard work and the sooner the better and a female needs to be loved and adored and be shown attention by the opposite sex so that she gets the real attention she deserves before she gets the fake attention from the first thing with a penis and gets rolled.
