One of things I have wondered is: are the boys that grew up witnessing domestic violence against their mothers prone to Christian nationalism? Because they developed “learned helplessness “ and the only way to stay safe in the world is to promote a society that looks like them and puts them in control.
As the grandma to two young grandsons, I think a lot about the issues you two discuss here and the importance of narratives of positive masculinity. A really thought-filled discussion. Thank you!
Great discussion here y’all.

This is a very good wondering and also very sad to think about.
