Many young men are attracted to what some call 'toxic masculinity,' which rejects the equality of women and preaches aggression. This includes 'incels' or involuntary celibates. Most of these young men feel rejected, so they want to build their muscles and assert their maleness. Steve and Jon talk about the failure to teach our kids how to deal with rejection, how to communicate well, and how to resolve difficulties in relationships.
Romantic rejection often leads to membership in an authoritarian cult and the acceptance of socially dangerous beliefs. Steve and Jon discuss ways to approach this problem.
