Let's raise some men. Normally, I'd tell you to avoid becoming a surrogate hooyo of an adult man and attempting to fix a human who isn't even broken just a victim of your unspecified expectations. However, I'm not in that sort of mood. Let's make our workshops other people. Particularly what you'd classify as part of the priority population. Let's hope there are no criminal records. It's easier to dust off a NEET than a felon but who knows maybe you'll Malcolm X this Abdi with a few degrees or at least an advanced vocab.​

1. Shave his cornrows or fro like he's preparing for Umrah.​
2. Proper diction is essential and enhancing his vocabulary. I'd strongly recommend Word Smart Genius: How to Build an Erudite Vocabulary. If you want him to score highly on his SATs or GREs.​
3. I hope you intend on bank rolling his education and removing all his blocks be they about his capabilities or financial obstacles.​
4. Let's give him nutritious meals because your man-son needs to eat well. We're putting him on a low carb diet and giving them some HIIT training at the gym.​

Once his confidence is lifted and after you've paid enough to facilitate his glow up in every sense of the word. Let's hope he is of high character and won't ditch his sensei or get snagged post-come up by someone less invested.

Let’s ask chatgpt for solutions

Done the first part of asking why the disparities.

It's important to approach such a question with sensitivity and avoid making broad generalizations about any group of people. While it's true that societal, cultural, and individual factors can influence the experiences and outcomes of different groups, it's important to recognize that individuals are shaped by a multitude of complex factors, and there can be a wide range of experiences and outcomes within any group.

If you're interested in understanding why some Somali men who were raised in the West or the diaspora might be facing challenges or differing outcomes compared to Somali women, consider the following points:

1. Cultural Expectations: Traditional gender roles and expectations may persist within certain Somali communities, both in the diaspora and back in Somalia. These expectations can influence how Somali men and women are raised, the opportunities they're given, and the pressures they face.
2. Educational Attainment: In many societies, including some Somali communities, there's a growing trend of women outperforming men in terms of educational attainment. This can lead to more career opportunities for women. However, this doesn't mean that all Somali men are not measuring up – many are also achieving success in various fields.
3. Economic Factors: Economic challenges can impact both men and women, but the way these challenges are navigated might differ. For instance, Somali women might seek education and employment as a means of financial independence due to various factors, including limited opportunities for traditional male-dominated employment.
4. Cultural Adaptation: Somali men and women raised in the West might navigate the complexities of cultural adaptation differently. This could influence their identity, relationships, and social roles.
5. Family Dynamics: Family dynamics can vary widely, but it's possible that Somali women's roles in maintaining family ties and contributing to the household might be perceived differently than men's roles.
6. Mental Health and Well-being: Factors like acculturation stress, discrimination, and generational differences can affect mental health and well-being. Individuals might respond to these stressors differently, influencing their outcomes.
7. Community Support: Somali women's groups and support networks in the diaspora have been known to empower and uplift women, providing resources and mentorship that might not be as readily available to men.
8. Media Perception: Sometimes, media or public discourse might focus more on the challenges faced by one group over another, which can shape public perceptions. It's essential to take a nuanced view of these issues.

It's crucial to avoid making sweeping generalizations about Somali men or women based on limited observations. People's experiences and outcomes are influenced by a multitude of complex factors that extend beyond their gender and cultural background. If you want to understand this topic more comprehensively, consider conducting research, speaking with individuals from Somali communities, and seeking out diverse perspectives.

Let's raise some men. Normally, I'd tell you to avoid becoming a surrogate hooyo of an adult man and attempting to fix a human who isn't even broken just a victim of your unspecified expectations. However, I'm not in that sort of mood. Let's make our workshops other people. Particularly what you'd classify as part of the priority population. Let's hope there are no criminal records. It's easier to dust off a NEET than a felon but who knows maybe you'll Malcolm X this Abdi with a few degrees or at least an advanced vocab.​

1. Shave his cornrows or fro like he's preparing for Umrah.​
2. Proper diction is essential and enhancing his vocabulary. I'd strongly recommend Word Smart Genius: How to Build an Erudite Vocabulary. If you want him to score highly on his SATs or GREs.​
3. I hope you intend on bank rolling his education and removing all his blocks be they about his capabilities or financial obstacles.​
4. Let's give him nutritious meals because your man-son needs to eat well. We're putting him on a low carb diet and giving them some HIIT training at the gym.​

Once his confidence is lifted and after you've paid enough to facilitate his glow up in every sense of the word. Let's hope he is of high character and won't ditch his sensei or get snagged post-come up by someone less invested.

We are doing quite all right, thank you, all things being equal. Are you by any chance conflating two distinct, if disparate groups: boys vs men? They are different, you know. Granted, boys grow up to be men, and if the wrong path is being trodden, it goes down hill from then onwards. And perhaps using your neighbourhood as [the] benchmark? Not all of us reside in Dixon, or Cedar, or Peckam.

I think you are under 18 so you get a pass to express yourself in whatever way you like. Provided your hooyo approves.

Some people are adults but act younger than they appear. Not everyone grows up it seems. At least not mentally. Also, a man could come across as adult in some ways but have the disposition of a high chair tyrant when he's upset. Maybe he's a man but situationally defaults to a boy in times of crisis. I digress. It's possible to change an adult's behavior but doing so may mean resorting to unethical measures. Its also a futile endeavor. Clearly, my post was poking fun at the idea of rescuing and fixing people that don't need it.
