[quote=Anonymous]This is an interesting question. Many of the men on both sides of my family (dad's and mom's generation and now mine) have struggled and there are more than a few failure to launch examples. Meanwhile the women all -- ALL -- have thrived. It is enough of a thing that I noticed it as a child and asked my mom about it and she said something about parents "raising the daughters but loving the sons" being the issue. At the time it didn't make sense to me but later I understood it to mean that the sons were spoiled and coddled in ways that crippled them and made them less prepared for life while at the same time tough and exacting with the daughters which taught them to be more independent and work harder, strive.
