Mothers and Fathers should not tell their sons to grow big and strong...
Those wishes, are of an archaic time. For your sons to grow large and muscular, independent and capable is to type cast them into a life of servitude.
Being a big strong man he is to be readily muled for physical labor. A protector when needed, and then dismissed when the task is completed.
The world is taught through television and stories such as David and Goliath that big strong men are by nature, the villains.
The big intimidating man in the bar who is defeated by the pudgy underdog.
The "jock" in high school who loses the pretty girl to the scrawny nerd... These are the modern day triumphs.
Yes, it is better for your young sons bit to make the same mistakes as I. Teach them to be dainty and feminine.
More opportunities for those who are small and fragile.
As they do not intimidate or pose any possible threat to those around them and their status quo, these men are more desirable to be seen in comfortable positions amoung the public.
Men such as I. Larger, muscular, dangerous looking... Our positions are that of mindless guardians and bouncers. Faceless construction workers and trashmen.
Forced to be what society makes us, we either hide in plain sight or become the evil that society wants us to be.
