should a mother who is bitter against men be left with a son

[Bklash]

This is a subject me and my friends were discussing. Should a divorced mother who has been proven to be bitter and have a hatrid towards men be left as a sole or primary carer for a son. We thought the son may be neglected, metally damaged or even be crossed dressed by the mother. The cross dressing is a big issue because the son won't be able to fight her or protest so may becme a transexual againist his own choice (I have nothing against them I just think it should be a choice). All of the above could be made worse if the son had a sister because she would be the favourate child by far. All of the above could warp the son, so what do you think.

This is a really interesting topic.. I've never really thought about this before.

I suppose it depends on what extent their bitterness stretches too.
With a dislike for "men", I would presume their feelings towards "boys" wouldn't change, and if anything may motivate this mother to bring her son up to be as polite and gentlemanly as possible so he doesn't hurt other women (or men) in later life, as she experienced.
If it gets to the extent where it effects the relationship between them as offspring/parent in a negative light, I think it'd just come under the same category of child abuse if he/she is being made to do things he/she doesn't want to do.

I think it's completely unfair to generalise it to everyone though.

Not ALL women that have been through a divorce are left bitter.
Not ALL women that are bitter let it effect their relationship with other men.. they may just not let them get that close to her in a relationshipy kind of sence.
Not ALL women that DO let it effect their relationship with other men take it out on their son, if they have one.

Its individual differences, IMO.

Can i ask why would a mother make her son cross dress because she hates men?

Does she have a fetish for drag queens or something?

Umm.. I think it does affect her son because since she's blind or mad and is completely into her feminine protective side, she may indirectly take her rage on her kid just because he's a boy or because it reminds her of the father..this sometimes causes that she may cross-dress or accustom her child to have a trauma..and he may start acting and dressing like a girl...Come on!! If you're mad at men, punch a pillow or something,,,Enter a Feminine pledge Sorority Group...I'ts not the kid's fault he's a boy with a mother who can't tolerate life as it comes...Stuff happens.

Personally, I think that although a mother may be bitter towards men, her feelings towards her own child would be different.

True.
