re: #110 A Mom Anon

I wonder if at some point we could go from gawking at the perpetrators of this shit and start asking how we could raise boys and create places that teach how wrong this shit is and why. I know I’m impatient, and I see the conversation in some places now, but not nearly enough. Lots of salacious details and hand wringing over how shocking it all is won’t fix a thing.

Many boys are/were taught what is right and wrong. The problem is many chose to ignore those teachings and do what they do anyway.

I think some of it comes from men getting together and learning how to ignore all that teaching and doing what they want anyway. That is a powerful thing. Men can be tough on each other and many weaker men follow along and then it becomes a thing they do.

Apparently learning the hard way is going to be what is needed.
