The big take away for me so far is that by denying boys and men opportunities to be vulnerable with each other and build supportive, caring relationships, they have only two acceptable* options: loner, or bonding via anger, violence and the humiliation of others.

I’d never put that together before. And it makes sense of so much that is mind bogglingly hard to accept or understand.

*fight the system, boys!!
