I wrote an movie for the Disney Channel called "How To Build A Better Boy." I was shocked at the backlash there was about the title. 1/x

The DC audience is about 70 percent girls, so it was a movie mostly aimed at girls about not idealizing romantic romantic expectations 2/x

My life is an example to my son so lessons come from not just what I say but what I do. If my example is hypocritical what will he learn?

Exactly you don't need to tell them show them how to treat women most of these men who do these stuff have either terrible fathers or none
