tbh its not just ignoring their emotional needs, painting this as an emotional needs problems just characterizes them as women and basically claims that men need to be treated like women, which is not true. its ignoring their developmental needs
you need some kind of expertise to feel like you can make even the most basic of professions out of
you need responsibility
you need role models that you can choose and can talk with, and practice having complex and sophisticated conversations with
you need a meritocratic environment
you need physical development, and to embed the need for building physical and mental habits that guide you through your life in a sane and stable way
you need an environment that encourages kindness, hard work, and neither babies nor feminizes you. you need to, specifically, avoid idiotic environments that promote violence as part of the social hierarchy of peers.
- enragedcacti 3y agoWere you expecting this 1000 word piece to address all social, emotional, mental, and physical needs of a child? I don't see anything in the piece that contradicts the developmental needs you list, except of course treating the need for emotional support as inherently a feminine trait, which is very well addressed by the piece.
- im3w1l 3y agoMen have a need to feel like men, which means different from women. As emotional support is considered a feminine thing it might be better to use a different framing without necessarily changing much of the substance.
