Answered by Examlex AI CopilotThis tells us that in cultures with strong separation between males and females, there is a clear division of roles and responsibilities when it comes to parenting. Males are seen as the ones who have the power and influence to shape the development of male children into men, while females are relegated to the role of childbearing and nurturing, but are not seen as having the same impact on the development of male children. This reinforces the idea of male dominance and control in these societies, and perpetuates the belief that masculinity is something that can only be passed down and cultivated by other males. It also suggests that there is a lack of recognition for the important role that females play in the upbringing and socialization of children, particularly male children, in these cultures.
