at best the father believes he is protecting the child from the social consequances of a stereotype because in his days it was a lot worst then it is today, at worst he actually believes he is protecting him from things that he believes would change the child's sexuality and thus prevent the child's assention into whatever the father counts as heaven.
either way he is being stupid, but the heart is probably in the right place. the brother gets the advantage of being more in touch with the current state of society. but that's about it.
