I’m almost a little disturbed that so many people didn’t know about the whole story behind “Incels” and how this is weaponised to radicalise men? We’ve been talking about this for years and you need to pay attention to this.http://nymag.com/selectall/2018/04/suspect-in-toronto-posts-about-incel-rebellion.html …
Not sure how helpful it is to blanket blame parents. Toxic masculinity is obviously multifaceted and doesn't just start in the home, and manifests in a lot of ugly ways that don't necessarily lead to an Alek Minassian/incel-type.

This is true. Although I do wish parents were more educated when it comes to online spaces designed to radicalize their children :/

Absolutely. Becomes harder when the child is 20+, but there's definitely tons of groundwork parents could/should do to help steer their kids away from these paths.

I've been a teacher at all levels of education, including a technical high school that felt like a place from Dangerous Minds (that 90s film starring Michelle Pfeiffer, for real), so I'm aware about the anatomy of such negativity (and other kinds too).

I was lucky enough to move to a good (UK) school from 14-18, which wasn't as cliquey as my earlier schooling, and I grew a lot. I've taught too, and it seems my good experience was an exception to the rule - cliques are considered normal, but can be very damaging.
