Must it be institutionalized? Can't this be encouraged without some one-sized-fits-all framework? I learned from a lot of guys in church related groups, yet with so much garbage messaging it made me hate myself. Also encountered some very good guys in school, forums, and LAN gaming, and without the religious strings attached.
- pyuser583 3y agoInstitutions are “stable, valued, recurring patterns of behavior.” Institutions encourage “second fatherhood” as a means of passing in the patterns of behavior. That behavior might be killing opposing militaries, educating future generations, or religious worship. So I think there’s a strong obvious link between institutions and second fathers.
