Some critics say fathers are they key to changing attitudes that allow these attacks to happen. Ferozeahamed A. Politics and Society Tue, 15 Jan 2013 05:52:19 -0600 Although I agree with most of the statements made in the article, mothers, I feel, play a larger role in creating a sense of superiority in their sons. They coddle their sons and set higher moral expectations for their daughters. Fathers are content to leave parenting responsibilities to mothers. PRI: Public Radio International
