"The son “Will” is obviously proud of himself, even though what he is describing is a form of coercive control. Threatening to isolate a female relative unless she denies her perceptions of reality indicates he does not care that she may not believe what she is saying. All that matters is that she has been forced into line. This is not activism; it is patriarchy." This is a fucking laugh. Trying to cut your family member off from fanatics who are damaging them isn't coercive control with malicious intent, it's also similar steps you have to take to deprogram people from cults. It's a weird roundabout way of saying you should "always respect your elders" even when they don't respect you and have spent their life gaslighting you.
