I shared my POV but just wanted to make sure, are you saying that mother asking her son not to cry fuel chauvinism in men?

It's just a thing like father treats their daughter as princess. Doesn't mean the girl become a queen? It's just a siblings rival that the one is treated better than the other but parents treat them equally and we know it. I don't agree that mother's feed chauvinism in men. It's the society that fuels this.

Society play a key role in men chauvinism but there are SOME mothers who fuels chauvinism in men.

Maybe in Ramarajan's (yesteryear actor) lifetime. But I stand in my point, 'Mother's have nothing do with male chauvinism'.
