Traditional solution of the past was to lure them in the army and let them die in some foreign country.

At the risk of sounding cold... anything that causes the mortality rate of men in this high risk category to rise significantly would likely reduce the overall problem. For example, making the choice of suicide readily available for young men that face poo life prospects, and the choice of ending your own life for the better of society a virtue, perhaps even heroic.
Whether enough people would see such a thing as acceptable for it to become policy is an entirely different issue.

Why would anyone want to raise a son in a society like that?

I don't imagine that it would be drastically different then raising a son today and here; the odds would still be excellent for a son to grow up an be successful.
Mind if I ask what you had in mind to make you think that such a situation would dissuade someone from raising a son?
Other than generalized chemical castration I don't see how you could eliminate the "problem" of most of the male population unfulfilled sex drive. For all its problems and unfairness, patriarchal society provides an answer to that problem, if an ugly one.
