Not just any man either, 'cause when pimps, drug dealers, and hustlers are the only male role models you have shit is bound to go wrong.
My moms tried to tell me some shit when I was younger, but none of it meant as much as when my pops sat me down and gave it to me. One of my uncles stayed on my ass about shit growing up.
Yeah, moms was there and trying to teach me shit, but she typically deferred to my father, stepfather, or uncle to give it to me straight.
I've known plenty of dudes raised by single mothers that came out well adjusted, but far more that would have benefited from positive men in their lives (i.e. the Big Brothers program, church groups, etc...)
