I am so happy that my partner acknowledges the Father’s mistake in the show Adolescence

r/

I have seen a lot of Men misunderstand this show, but had tears in my eyes when my boyfriend before even me realized that the Father not showing compassion, not being there, not being emotionally open to the kid was such a gigantic issue in his childhood, which coupled with the bullying, all the incel content he was consuming without any supervision all bubbled upto the chaotic person he became so young.

Men must be more involved, vulnerable and emotionally open to their children in this new era.

    Honestly, I don’t believe a kid can get to the point of being a violent misogynist at age 12 without hearing some misogyny at home.

    I watched Adolescence, and it seems like just another victim blaming, poor men, how dare women say no to a “niceguy” mess.

    Female victim lashes out verbally after nudes leaked and boy tries to exploit her pain to get sex. Boy kills girl, but its not his fault because dad didn’t cuddle him enough, and girls are mean. Bollocks.

    What’s worse is that Dad didn’t change after the event. He treated Mum and Daughter so poorly, right up to the end. No one is talking about that and it’s really annoying.

    What has caught my attention is the parents talking about what they were doing at age 13.
