AIBU not to be surprised

The murder on the beach in Bournemouth was committed by another misogynistic little prick who thought he was clever enough to not get caught. Fortunately the brilliant judge gave him 39 yrs. Saw through the bullshit.
AIBU to think that children and certainly boys need actively teaching that they are responsible for how they are perceived, and they are owed nothing. Teaching children they are important and centering them in their families lives is producing these little pricks as they expect everyone else to bow to them. The sheer numbers of boys producing this misogynistic crap and egged on by Tate and co show as a society we have got things massively wrong with children. How can we stop this tide?

🙄

Are you a parent? If so, are you sure you're not part of the problem?

You don’t think we should teach children they’re important? Ok….

If parents made their children feel important do you not think they would be less inclined to look to social media and the likes of Andrew Tate for role models? I'd say it's the children who don't feel important who are more likely to do so.

Sorry for not commenting earlier..been busy....most boys are brought up in homes with women, mothers, sisters, grandmothers, aunts, cousins so why do they turn to the likes of incel/ Tate followers. The young man I have referred to, by all accounts that I have read, wasn't deprived, came from a firm family background, but still considered it his inadequacy to be the fault of women.
I work in a male dominated trade, the comments at times are so stupid that I would wonder if they ever converse with women.
All I see are immature boys, held up as little princes, told they are wonderful, can achieve whatever they want, with little effort or talents and expect the world to fall at their feet, when the reality is that most, like most girls, will have nondescript lives, get up, go to work in rubbish jobs, go home, eat, sleep repeat. Hopefully they meet someone, but that's not guaranteed either. It's not for women to smooth or change that path. It's for them to work to achieve if they want more from life.

and yes, I have adult sons.

Certainly going by a lot of threads on here, many boys are raised to put themselves front and centre, no consideration needed for anyone else, particularly if the other person is just a wife or partner who’s grown their baby inside her body, birthed it, and is now bringing it up. Why should they put themselves to any effort beyond that needed to draw the woman in in the first place and then impregnate her? That attitude comes from somewhere. @wastingtimeonhere I don’t see much to dispute in what you wrote. Unfortunately.

Okay Jo 👍

If children can't feel important in their home where can they? Also you don't really know much about home lives. Often when men are brought up in unhappy homes with an abusive father they blame the mother, go figure. As for the workplace who is promoting the men with little talent or effort? It's certainly not mothers
