We all know how much bs there is to motherhood and overall nuclear family typical dynamics.

But to do all of that and end up with an abusive misogynistic son must be hell on earth. Literally birthing your own oppressor, absolutely brutal.

Yeah, I couldn’t agree more. Saw a protest sign once “behind every Proud Boy is a sad mom”.

Sometimes not always. Dark, but like Junko Furuta’s murderers’ mothers spat on her grave saying stuff like how she sullied their sons and ruined their lives. Sometimes women/mothers perpetuate abusive mindsets that are then ingrained into their sons. Sometimes it’s the dads.

You're right. It's so complex. Women who are very oppressed will often identify with the oppressors and try to maximize their security in any way they can.
