It is really about status.

The leftist mom is afraid her son might lose status among her social group if his views do not conform to the elites and wealthy.

He should not feel aggrieved—all he needs to do is conform and obey and everything will be great.

Psst, Kathryn, Gray, all your teenage son wants is to GET LAID.

Soft men create hard times.

It’s just word salad. Her screed is couched in trans language which renders sons and daughters meaningless.

What she means is “The boys won’t say what we want them to say and their silence means they believe things we believe are unacceptable. We don’t get to berate and belittle them for believing it to bring them back into line”.

I cropped out the first few paragraphs because JimRob runs a clean website.

Basically, Karen started off the piece with her observing that someone had turned her greasy stove into a place for drawing a specific male appendage after…erm…it was “done.”

Her article is literally the reason boys are conservatives. Imagine having to listen to her assaholic lectures constantly, over breakfast, in the car, when you want to watch a game in peace, when you start dating.
This is what happens when America stopped spanking wives.

I bet you can feminize boys. However, are some things that just happen with boys.

Yes, there is culture, and family, and tradition, and TV etc.

But when I was an Asst Scoutmaster at summer camp, the Scouts loved the rifle range, archery, and the waterfront. Around the campfire, they’d sometimes whittle.

Some of them gravitated to the more cerebral things like chess, but even then the Troop went to the chess matches and cheered.

“… we have to let them figure it out in safety. …”

And she’ll get them killed out on the street.

“LOOKSMAXXING” is simply altering your appearance to be more attractive, e.g. combing your hair and shaving. A “Sigma male is one who is,”Independent, self-sufficient, and emotionally intelligent, they move through the world in a way that neither seeks nor requires validation from others.”
Both of these would be considered normal by sane people in sane times.

“ This can mean letting reactionary and unformed pseudo-ideologies breathe the same airspace as us while we invite patient conversation. It might feel dangerous to let a teenager argue that sexism works both ways, but it’s far more consequential “

The arrogance and sheer self serving blindness of this idiot is off the charts. This absolute inability perceive reality, to think objectively, to SEE anything you don’t want to see is what makes these psychopaths dangerous.

“There’s no mystery about why young women are becoming more progressive...”
Which is her uninformed way of saying that she’s never examined her own political certainties.

Again a standard lefty mom who cares about the connection between what her kids do and what they believe. I agree with her about those video games. I was never a fan. They were in my belief the beginnings of training kids to tolerate trannies. I saw popular ones with female characters who performed like only a male could.

Libs are extremely tolerant of everyone they agree with.
