Having young sons must be so terrifying for parents ngl. It breaks my heart seeing how easily young preteen boys are roped into a alt-right pipeline that feeds them incel ideologies before they even get a chance to grown and develop their own opinions

Seriously one of my biggest fears if/when I become a parent. Fortunately I was able to break out of that pipeline but I’ve lost a few friends who grew up to be genuinely really racist and misogynistic people

Maybe stop shaming boys for being boys?

I think there’s a big difference between “boys being boys” and young boys being taught that “feminists need to get destroyed” and that “alpha men don’t cry” and it’s cool to be aggressive and rude and patriarchal and what not. I’m not trying to shame boys, I’m just saying social media and online algorithms target young boys and push them into right wing ideology that can be both harmful for themselves and can lead to negative outcomes for the society around
