Man taught by a woman

There was once a family of four, two children, one boy and one girl. The boy was the eldest of the two, their mother and father were devoted to one another, husband did everything for her and his family, tried to mould his son into a man and his daughter into a woman. By means of giving them good advice when they needed it and even when they didn’t need it, it kept them going and highly motivated. He made sure that his family was well taken care of.
One day, one day while moulding his son into becoming a man, he sat him down and presumed on saying “Son, I’ve got to tell you a couple of things you’ll encounter whilst becoming a man. I need you to treat your sister the exact same way as I treat your mother, if not better, I need you to open doors for her, show her what it really feels like to have a man in her life, how it feels like to have someone taking care of her and someone to protect her at all times and at all costs. As a man you’re going to do things you don’t like in order to see what you love, between you and I, man to man, I detest taking your mom shopping because before we leave the house we agree on going to one shop but when we get there we end up exploring just one mall but because I love her and I love seeing her smile, I do it. In most cases shopping with her can take up to a day but seeing her smile, never gets old to me.”
Hence guys always act like guys is for the mere fact that we’re never taught to become a man by a real man, we’re constantly taught by a woman who can do both on how to become a man. We're not told to stay in a relationship, we're not taught to face or deal with our problems but we're taught to solve them. If it's a loss, let it go and if it's a gain, keep it! We're constantly taught to find beneficiaries in everything we encounter in our lives. If something is worth more than our time, we're taught to leave it.
When will we be taught to appreciate the small things, such as her smile, her laugh or her good company? When will we be taught to appreciate the small things, such as having loyal friends, loving family and a good place to call home? We're constantly told to dig deeper, seek more and appreciate less.
