I feel like a whole generation of kids are missing out on positive male role models.
Step up, and pass on the good vibes and knowledge

“Manosphere is because no fishing” is an astonishing take, care to back up the implied “children from single mothers turn to be more misogynistic” claim with some source?
The Manosphere cooked up this bullshit “this generation missed out on real men” post in the first place
I was in foster care. My mom was a druggie alcoholic.
Now, I have 5 kids: 2 girls, and 3 boys.
My oldest, a girl, needed my help. I gave her life advice her mom wouldn’t. My second oldest - a girl - I helped transition. My third, I help him pick dresses and skirts, because he gets embarrassed around his mom. My fourth, we learned our own sign language when he was younger, as he was nonverbal autistic until he was 6. My fifth, his mom and I help him daily though leukemia.
I guess it would be better without me helping them.
Your an ass. Male role models can help, like female role models. My help is different from my wife’s, but it in no way diminishes her contributions.
Everything you’ve done in that regard is extremely commendable and I congratulate you on being a wonderful father!
My intent was not “there can be no good role models who are male”, but rather “I don’t see the need for gendered role models”. You’re a wonderful father not because you’re male, you’re a wonderful father because you’re being awesome to your kiddos!
That’s a real literal interpretation. Lack of healthy male role models in a boy’s life can easily lead to manosphere content. Just look around.
I couldn’t teach a boy to fish but I was lucky to have good role models (men and women born shaped me of course).
?? I really don’t get what you mean. Are you suggesting that men without fathers tend to go further into the manosphere? You’re gonna need to back that up somehow
I said nothing of fathers. I just meant that some young and impressionable may look for someone they can see themselves in and turn to the liudest and worse option if they have nothing else to guide them.
I’m not speaking in absolutes.
