    you don’t need to try so hard, just don’t let him have weird ideas about gender and hope he befriends at least one girl. that’ll be enough. all these idiots need is a female friend going “don’t be an idiot that’s not how things work”.

      Or a sister, or any woman who has the standing to tell you “your teeth are blotchy and your breath is bad, that’s why people won’t kiss you, go to the dentist”

        I always wonder where are the mothers of these shitty young men?

        Like.

        If I even thought of going into a misogynistic phase during my younger years, my mother would have put me in my place, yanno?

        Are anglo mothers less sprited than latin american mothers?

          It’s easy to imagine them however you want. Truth is a lot of those incels probably come across as normal on the surface and have a normal life and are just depressed people looking for something to blame

            Oof. Hard to read/think about. But I’m pretty sure that’s what’s happening.

            My kid won’t experience that (at least from their parents), thankfully. But we’re doing our best to instill an open mind and acceptance for our child.

      We won the lottery on this. Had twins, 1 boy 1 girl at birth. They’re too young to know if they’re gonna be friends, enemies, (probably both?)
