"This post is part one of a series. In our efforts to escape poverty, to make mortgage payments, to meet the demands of our jobs, we've become simply too busy to raise healthy boys. The old African proverb, "It takes a village to raise a child," applies to each one of us. Collectively, we all raise all of our children and right now they are letting us know that we aren't doing such a great job when it comes to our boys in particular."
"I work with a lot of incels (involuntary celibate) who hate women. These men are often heavily influenced by men like Andrew Tate and Nick Fuentes, who often disrespect and blame women for their problems. All young men, at one time, were beautiful baby boys (Tate and Fuentes included), and then their development simply went off the rails. What happened?"
Many boys are socially adrift, lonely, and friendless. Economic pressures and demanding jobs leave parents too busy to raise healthy boys. Collective community responsibility is necessary because communities shape child development. Some young men become involved in incel communities and adopt misogynistic messages from influencers like Andrew Tate and Nick Fuentes. Friendships for many boys are superficial and romantic relationships often fail for the same reasons. Mothers observe predatory influencers seeking adulation, validation, website clicks, and money. Several young men face accusations of sex crimes tied to poor sexual self-management. Early parental engagement and community support can help redirect at-risk boys.
