A stereotype of a father with only (or many) daughters is that he will grow "soft" towards them and in turn emphasize with their problems, and in turn perhaps also the problems more specific to women in general.
A stereotype of a father and a son is that they will both suffer through their own problems, individually, in silence.

The trick for me has been to find things to do with my son. My daughter's will randomly unleash a torrent of emotion to me, but my son only talks when I do things like take him fishing or flying kites.

Yeah, we're really, incredibly dysfunctional. We separate stimulants from depressants, don't like guns too much, and have emotions. Oh, and we only bench-press 2/3 of our body weight (so far... working on it).
May macho-God have mercy on our limp-wristed souls.
Apparently most of the males I've met in my life are incredibly, incredibly dysfunctional.
