The world is a different place than it used to be. I'm only 29 and I feel like many shifts have happened. We take our son to the playgrounds near us, but mostly I prefer playdates and scheduled activities. Albeit my son is only 2. But, our main community is at our church and so we gravitate to people who are like us. I'm not willing to risk my kid free-ranging with a parent until he's older and has a more firm grounding and even then I'll still keep an eye.
With technology, ideologies, increasing crime rates, it's not easy being intensive, but the other options are less than stellar.
I don't like Andrew Tate nor Dan Bilzerian. But, I've listened to their talks and they're the only people sounding the alarm on how most women are treating most men like garbage due to feminist, anti-men, anti-family ideologies and other sources of hate. The other side (anti-Tate) just says get married and have a family. People care about the truth. Tate and et al are telling the truth about modern women, whereas the other side isn't even looking at the problem realistically.
A ton of good stuff here. Dr. Anthony Bradley is another one doing work in the realm of Richard Reeves, concerned about the guys: https://anthonybbradley.substack.com/
He recently wrote a book I'd like to get to (called Heroic Fraternities) which ties into this idea that men need a duty mindset to regain a sense of purpose. The fact that a good foundation can be laid during those college years - in countercultural ways from how we normally think of the worst fraternities.
I never expected Downton Abbey to show up on this Stack, but I'm also not very surprised, and at the same time, it is most welcome. Have to look up that scene just to give it another watch!
