However, if the boy had been raised in a family culture disrespectful of women, it might not be a good idea.

Generally, a person's attitude towards women starts earlier. When teen lust kicks in that adds another factor, but none of the boys I went to HS with really changed their attitude toward women once they reached the books-over-crotch stage. If they were nice guys before, they were nice guys after, sometimes blushingly. If they were jerks before, then they became jerks with erections.

You know, sex is a very natural part of human life. It has to be integrated into one's world unless one is in the small minority who never have much interest in sex. If a father chose to open the conversation by taking his son to a strip club, the results would vary depending on the relationship they had and how it was handled.

The worst misogyny seems to occur in societies that are extremely sexually repressive, like Saudi Arabia. But there men are not taught that they can restrain themselves, and they are never exposed to females who are not related as persons. So they grow up and are just clubbed by sexual desire and the good/bad woman dichotomy.
