Wew lad, lemme get a drink

I settled back down while <Jamie> resumed running. “Tough” was never a word my partner or I said in our child’s presence. Not because it was something we consciously decided on, it just never occurred to us or came up. At the time, “tough” didn’t even enter my mind. “Resilient”, a good quality for any person of any age did. That was only the first of numerous incidents that have led my partner and I to agree. Our son is toxic.

This alone didn’t equate to manifest toxicity of course. A pattern of escalation emerged.

He loves to flip light switches, as a lot of kids do. He started racing my partner to reach them. He’s also started racing in front of the girls at his daycare. This was disturbing because while a child his age is not yet able to really grasp the concept of privilege we’ve been careful to train him that girls always need to go first. When he got to the state where he asks why this is we planned to tell him girls don’t get to go first very much. So it’s the nice thing to do.

Just last week he proudly proclaimed he was not a baby. My concern escalated into worry.

Things finally came to a head just this weekend. He was doing his standard running about and exploring during our weekend outings. We were in a hurry to leave the store we were in so I picked him up telling him we need to go. His curiosity had not been satisfied and he immediately started crying. I held him close and said “It’s okay to cry.” Apparently, this was triggering to him in some way. <Jamie> inhaled raggedly. His cherubic face, red from crying, tears still on cheeks curved into as close to a snarl as his tiny frame could muster. Little hands clenching into tiny fists. “I NOT CRYING!” He shouted.

I was so shocked I nearly dropped him. He was trying to hide his pain and emotion. One of the foundational behaviors of toxic masculinity. I’m not proud to say when we got home I flew into

inquisition mode. Calling his daycare provider, previous daycare providers, my parents, my partner’s parents. Anyone I could think of who might possibly have accidentally or purposefully exposed to media or something else that would have taught him to bottle his emotions or behave aggressively. By both a bit of coincidence and a bit of design <Jamie>’s only spent time with other bio boys a handful of times. All of those interactions have been very Most people in our social circle have had only girls. So I was sure it had to be some kind of media exposure. As I stated we are very careful about the kind of media he is exposed to. He has nothing that depitcs conflict resolved via physicality of any kind. It was something my partner and I are both adamant about. If the people I asked are to be trusted it’s likely my son still doesn’t know hitting is even a thing.

My partner and I are currently at a loss and regrouping. Unable to identify a source for <jamie>’s aggression we are moving on to damage control. We are looking into restorative therapy for him. He is still young and there is still hope. My child is toxic now, but it does not have to be a life sentence. Especially at his age. The last thing the world needs is another aggressive and self interested boy in it. We are still fully committed to making sure that does not happen.

And that's it. Keep in mind the idea is to make it not too over the top. Since that would be a dead giveaway.

That's the response I am looking for. Well, at least the one I'm looking for from sane people.

It’s funny. You put a lot of work into it

Well a lot of those things are things my son has actually done.

Or things I have actually done to my son.

You should submit it to buzzfeed or the guardian to see if they will print it

That was something I was going to ask as well. Where to try to publish it.

It’s peak degeneracy, so the entirety of the msm is an option

Right, but I also need a publication that will not investigate too close into the writer's background. Unfortunately, I did not have the foresight to create a social media account a few years ago to establish this phony identity.

Lol

Put it on Wordpress

Well, most of the purpose of it is to trick leftist media outlet to publish it. Then pull the rug out later.

That would be entertaining

I really like the "tough" bit

thanks

Escalated is used alot, I felt

Yeah, needs a bit of polish yet.

Missing word in the second last paragraph, " all those interactions have been very Most of our friends"

Supervised, monitored. Some word like that.

Minor, i put.
The agricultural revolution line had me rolling

Toxic masculinity's first "victory" was men reining in women's hypergamy by demanding monogamy via mutual agreement among the men to facilitate the threat of violence against women if they strayed.

Man, I could be a PhD candiate if i could say this drunk all the time.

You can definitely fake it in your professor Grumple stage of drinking

Well, that line is more or less parallel with current thinking in cultural anthropology.

What's funny is the marxists fail to notice this was their first revolution. Because men overthrew the presumed prehistorical matriarchy and seized the means of reproduction.

Human males were literally the proletariat in their pre agri utopia fantasy. Forced to labor under the threat of losing mating access, AND the uncertianty of which kids were actually theirs.

Nobody to really talk to tonight.

Anyone in here familiar with the degnerate anime "Axis Force Hetalia"? It's terrible.

Sticks in my craw, because it is one of many things I feel like I thought up first. But better.

Well, you sure can back up the article, I was waiting for you go into lysenkoism.

Anime isn't my cup of tea

in other "professor grumple" news Anime is shit, but it's a different kind of shit. So it is a nice change of pace. I was only ever a psuedo weeb myself. I was too old by the time it blew up the west anyhoo.

But i had this idea for a manga. It was titled "Magna" (see what I did there)

You took the words out of my mouth "anime is shit"

It follows the same rules of everything else Sturegon's Law "95% of everything is shit"

but there are two factors that let it penetrate the west
