re: Is it actually possible for most single women to raise their sons to respect women?

Boys see how to treat women based on how their fathers treat their wives/mom.
A single mom can’t ever show him that
so he has no idea how a real man is supposed to treat women. Hence the violence towards women from a certain race

dont see how women could consistently raise respectable young men, and my wife agrees with me. Children, especially boys, need guidance from both parents.
I only disagree with the “especially boys” part.
I think it’s equally important for girls, but in an entirely different way.
I think girls that grow up without a strong father figure have trouble with wanting male attention, but not understanding what healthy male attention is, or how to get it.

Don't exclude single white women from the equation, they raise a lot of shithead sons, too. See: Trump assassins, ANTIFA shitheads, etc.

This is one of the biggest issues in black culture. Emotionally fragile women trying to raise boys. Total failure.

A) no
B) we need to raise our boys to be aware of “modern women” because the old rules don’t fully apply to what they’re going to encounter as they grow and start trying to have traditional relationships

Yes, no question.
In the same manner a single father can teach a daughter how to respect men / her husband.

Modern women are largely the result of being raised by single mothers.

My grandmother could. She had one warning:
You have to sleep sometime and I know how to use a skillet.
Nuff said.

It depends - does the mother have an apostrophe in her name?

Which is why I said the average.

Kids need a healthy balance of both parents. Sure there are some single women who do a good job, but there is likely other people in that kids life as well, but if I didn't have a dad or a brother I would likely be a completely different person.
Kids need some type of structure. I know in my family, my mom was like the vice principal. She handled the discipline but if it was bad enough she would send you to the principle... My dad.. And that's what you tried to avoid. My daddy worked, moved the grass, fixed shite around the house, etc. My mom drove a school bus so she worked like 2 hrs in the morning and 2 hrs in the afternoon with summers off.
If there was anything I needed or wanted or needed permission to do I usually asked my mom, but when possible I tried to ask my pops because he was more likely to say yes.. When my parents wasn't around... Like if I was in the bed room or they had to go somewhere, that's when I got brutalized by my brother. He used to always tell me "stop acting like a f_g" and other things that became common words I used (not in front of my parnets, but I did get in trouble from time to time for calling someone a f _g or ret_ard and other words. I learned from my dad that when women get emotional just ignore them..
There are some things I like that was influenced by my mom like the enjoyment if listening to music, etc but without a dad or brother.. Or male influence I would likely be a completely different person.. And I am just thinking about.

If the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.... then it depends on the make of the dad.
And perhaps while not ideal a good woman who's rid herself of a bad apple..... might indeed be better for his kid.
In the long run.

I know some great dudes who were raised by single mothers. Also, pretty much all of the biggest scummy womanizers that I know were raised by single mothers.

Actually have been dealing with something like this over the past week. Ive posted on here before about me and my kids relationship with my ex but long story short i raise the kids ,13yo boy and a 4yo girl, myself with very limited interaction with their mom.
Well, the other day, i was accused of not properly raising my son to respect women because.....my son and daughter constantly bicker and fight. I tried explaining that their fighting is more than likely due more to being raised in a single parent household and are constantly trying to battle for attention with my daughter winning out most of the time because shes 4 (*note i also spoil my daughter but thats something ive been working on). The moment that i mentioned that my daughter actually instigates more than half of their fights i was immediately shut down and told i was a misogynist and was raising my son to be the same way.
I talked to my son about all of this only to find out that theres a whole deeper level to all of this and apparently im being used as a scape goat. Turns out their mom is constantly saying negative stuff about men when the kids are around (shouldnt have rights, should die etc) and whenever my son tries to stand up for his gender he is told that he is wrong. Luckily, the boy is very hard headed and just doesnt let stuff go. Mind you, dear reader, that this is a woman who does not help out with her kids in any way what so ever, sees them whenever is conveinent for her and even then makes no effort to actually get the kids as i have to drop them off and pick them up 30 minutes away.
All of that said, my 13yo sees the way his mother acts and luckily he has a good enough head on his shoulders as well as a second parent to realize that this is insane.

That's absolutely a factor but there is an entire generation of girls being raised by married women who spent their formulative years wanting to be one of the vapid run-through women on "Sex in the City".
If a boy isn't prepared to deal with those women with clear boundaries, self respect and a firm understanding of how these girls are wired the boy is going to get run over, become angry and end up miserable when the values they were raised to embrace don't translate into relationships that build towards happy and sustainable lives.
No woman I've ever met is willing to be honest or introspective enough about female needs and desires to convey them to a boy in a way that will allow them to be prepared for modern dating.

a continual rotating door of men coming in and out of the house to bang mom will not teach a boy how to treat women.

Whoever this person is doesn't merit your time, attention or concern.
Using words like misogynist without clear evidence to back up the claim disqualifies them from being taken seriously.

Textbook narcissistic behavior on your ex's part BTW. Be very, very careful moving forward and document everything.

I agree 100% that single moms can raise great "dudes".
My contention was with the OP which asked:

I don't think most women can prepare men to acquire a solid "frame" with which to understand and center themselves when dealing with women in romantic settings because that requires a level of masculine thought and emotional control that is completely antithetical to women.

Ha, I can relate. My mom raised 3 of us and made bad decision after bad decision with men in her life. I certainly learned what dysfunction looks like.
