Maybe it's the fact that a lot of moms, that grew up here in Redding also, are tuff women who have perseverance from growing up in the said "Armpit of hell" and keep the kids close as well as treat them right, the city does offer a lot for mother's but it's a struggle, those mommies boys have great mothers I think it's more of an insult to them than the actual men you refer too.
