This matters. A lot of boys are starving for identity, structure, and belonging before the manosphere gets to them. If healthier models don’t reach them first, grievance will.
Thanks for this. I’m sure many will find it helpful! Can someone talk about the boys who don’t play video games or participate in social media? My 13yo and 15yo have a hard time socially because they aren’t in these spheres. What are they to do?? Are kids still hanging out in person? I feel like we as parents damaged them socially. because of delaying phones and social media.
This is such a good question - so hard to figure out when phone restrictions start to get in the way of social connections. For my son, it was when he was in 9th grade and someone cute asked for his phone number, and he didn't have one!
Alternative ideas: join clubs, play board games together, play sports, act in a play, join an improve group, do social service together. You could also consider a phone with calling/texting but no social media. Good luck!

This is incredibly awesome. I will be sharing this with all my parent friends. Thank you so much for highlighting this gold nugget of an initiative!
Showing my age… I can’t find the server on Discord. There should be age appropriate links to getting to the server. 😃
This looks fantastic and it seems like open-mindedness, curiosity, and generosity are all baked into the core of it. Great modelling.
This is wonderful. Is there a version of this for 5-6th grade boys?
I don't think so, but there is a free course linked at the bottom of the post where you can get ideas for how to start one.
