Look this thread isn’t about “whining;” it’s about how do we stop the very real and growing problem of our boys turning into incels. The cure to stop this is to make a conscious effort to raise boys as true feminists. |
Boys need to be raised to be masculine. Raising them to be male feminists risks making the red pill arguments more persuasive. Men need goals to which they should work. Doing more chores for their wives won’t motivate them. Having healthy sons starts with having a father and mother in the home to be good examples. Then is means teaching the boys what the boys should give to their families and what they should expect. |
| Obviously, avoid divorce at all costs. This is a common denominator. Avoid exposure to maga, Nazi and other hate groups. Volunteer at shelters, food banks, etc so they can feel the joy of helping others and cultivate compassion. |

I'm not going to read this whole thread but how do you think that having a mom at home and private school make a boy incel proof? It seems to me that having a mom at home to take cafe of his every whim and not model a career and identity is exactly the kind of type of kid who falls into this. Private school? I don't get that. Good school is enough.
I would think that a kid with solid parental involvement, a healthly social scene including boys and girls (not dating necessarily), and models of successful adult lives, careers, romances, hobbies is the best case scenario. |
Doing chores IN THIER OWN house, you mean? They aren't doing chores for their wives. So sick of male chauvinists. |
You misunderstand. Left to their own devices, the men simply wouldn’t do many chores for themselves, let alone someone else. Men view many chores and tasks in the home as unnecessary. |
Here is why we are f’ed. Because people believe that being masculine and being a feminist are mutually exclusive. |
BECAUSE THEIR MOTHER DID IT FOR THEM. Being able to be a functioning adult is pretty masculine. Needing a nurse maid to wash your sheets and clean your floors just makes you a pathetic slob. |
I never saw this in my experience. When I was dating, the men were fine on their own. Reasonably tidy apartments, groceries in the kitchen, clean clothes, and cooked meals. I’m also a landlord of a single unit and often rent to men. They’re fine. Or least not significantly different than the women. Maybe the men don’t put up as much decor but they request to paint the walls as often as the women. |
Men and women want different things from each other. Feminism doesn’t do a great job of acknowledging that reality. You’re welcome to explain how feminism complements masculinity from a man’s perspective. Not sure I’ve seen that case made in a compelling fashion, but maybe I don’t read broadly enough. |
NP but that women want to be able to vote, autonomy over their own bodies and equal rights should not be not complementary to what men want, should it? I mean, many men want women without a voice to be subservient to them - but that doesn’t seem like what’s good for women at all, does it? |
I'll make sure to tell that to my husband who for many years raised his daughters on his own and ran a very tight ship. I think the problem is YOU. |
+1. I had a single dad but somehow he managed to clean the house and cook the meals. Shocking, I know. |
So, no public schools are good? Wow. You seem delusional. Creating an environment with almost no screen time does not prepare them for the world we live in. |
Hoping this is a troll, or just a clown comment, as this is the single worst thing you can do to prevent the situation OP is describing. -- Mother of 4 boys |
