What about their dad’s & uncle’s? Mum’s male friends? I don’t know, external (outside the family) isn’t the only source of “mentorship” and we should stop trying to pretend it is

I don't think it's generally believed that a mentor has to come from outside. In fact, I think it's because mentors coming from close family is not prevalent that pushes these boys and men to find mentors elsewhere.
