[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think one clear message on which we can all agree, form this whole incel thing, is:

- boys need to be far more educated and raised as feminists.  It is the antidote to toxic masculinity.  I am talking to you, boy-moms.[/quote]

Well let me tell you what that looks like in real life because that’s what I did. Now he is caught between two worlds where he is not fitting in. The girls don’t want to play with a boy and the boys don’t think he is strong/fast enough to play with them and so he is left out on all sides. [/quote]

What? Raising a feminist boy does not mean not good at sports. My god, the stupidity in this thread. [/quote]

Actually it does in some cases so thanks for your insult. If you don't prioritize sports because you think that your kid will be perfectly fine being accepted for who they are, then you will have a rude awakening when they get shunned by athletic boys for not being sporty and most girl groups since they don't want a boy to be in the mix as they get older. Ask me how I know.[/quote]

Yeah, mostly because of as***s like you raising other as***s to shun non-atheletic boys. That's what this whole thread is about. You are the problem. [/quote]

WTF is your problem? My boy is not athletic and because we don't believe in strict gender roles we find ourselves in a position where his girlfriends are abandoning him for other girls and he is not athletic enough for the boys. Where did you get it mixed up? I hate this culture but it can't change as long as sensitive and more imaginative boys are shunned from both sides. [/quote]

The problem is you are perpetuating the idea that your child is struggling because he is not good at sports. Do you not see how harmful that is to him? Instead of musing about your child should be something he is not, perhaps help him find a different group of friends who will accept him for who he is.  [/quote]

I am watching it happen in real time and I have never projected such a message. It’s just the cold hard truth and if it were so simple to “find a different group” then of course I would. The kids at his school (very progressive neighborhood) are sorting themselves this way and there really isn’t anything I can do about it. Maybe you could offer a helpful suggestion rather then exhibiting toxic masculinity?[/quote]
