Sadly, it's not something that can be taught just by talking, because must be taught at a very young age. Boys need to learn to be strong as young schoolchildren, in order to not suffer the consequences of being weak. Social interaction patterns start early and persist. Fathers know this, so they must start early, so the son is prepared for the cruelty of the schoolyard. You're right about the lack of talking. It's not literally talking, it's conditioning/training. I was using the expression "the talk" to link it to something else you might understand.
