So many people are taking the wrong lessons from "Adolescence" (Netflix series)
Just here to vent. I recently watched a show called "Adolescence" on Netflix.
If you haven't seen it, it's about a 13-year-old boy who gets arrested and accused of murdering his female classmate.
What I loved about the show was that it showed how insidious incel subculture is, how it fuels hatred towards girls and women and nurtures a sense of entitlement in young men.
It shows how so many parents are unaware of what their children are watching and learning on social media, particularly boys who are vulnerable to grifters like Andrew Tate.
I loved the show and thought it did a great job of delivering its message...
... But then I saw many parents' reactions on social media.
Many were blaming the girl (the one who got murdered) for "cyberbullying" the boy because she was calling him out for being an incel.
Another comment said that the girl was in the wrong for basically calling the boy a virgin online and that she was setting an "unrealistic expectation for masculinity" 🥲
It just made me disheartened that many people, some of whom are likely parents to young boys, would still bend over backwards to blame women for everything.
That's it. Rant over 😩
