ወንድ ልጅ ተወልዶ ካልሆነ እንዳባቱ ስጡት አመልማሎ ይፍተል እንደናቱ

“If a boy child is born and doesn't become like his father, give him a spindle to spin thread like his mother.”
Meaning
This proverb reflects traditional gender expectations. It suggests that if a male child does not demonstrate the masculine traits or roles expected of his father (e.g., strength, leadership, provider), he is then likened to or expected to perform roles traditionally associated with women (e.g., domestic tasks). It conveys societal disappointment when gender expectations are not met.
