Agreed. Boys without their dads under the same roof typically exhibit more of these types of attitudes.

I'm sure you're doing your best OP, but let this be a warning to young women who think not being married to their kids' dad is no big deal.

This highly depends on the kid's dad. Being married to a misogynist will not a balanced kid make...

You will probably get further if you ask him what has made him feel that way and then listen to what he tells you without judging his reasons. This will do you better than simply telling him it is horrible to think like that and that he "needs to" have respect for girls. Obviously, he is hurting from some kind of rejection.
For once I agree with you.

This is also why some are suggesting therapy if it is a deeper issue.

Sometimes figuring out why there is a problem could be key to solving the problem.

Mother,

You came here, presumably to leave with more info than when you arrived. I've no dog in this fight for your son. It doesn't matter how accurate these people here may display. They bring you what you already know. It doesn't matter how unpopular my words may be. I bring you a perspective you did not already have. Like I said, the ones in your immediate vicinity will keep you immobile. They are louder and exist in greater numbers. Watch out, please.

Bye.

Well..It has been well over a month since you opened/started this Thread regarding you request for help..and haven't added anything since then..in fact this is only the 2nd post post..Hardly appears you feel quite so urgent for input..

I would appreciate updates..how things are going now..what have you decided to do? and so on. Discussion often does help..but IF you actually expect a bullet menu to deal with your issue..You will not get it without input..instead all you'll get is armchair judgements on what you initially asked..

If you do not respond to posts offering opinions..then just maybe this venue isn't helpful for you..Help only comes with communication..Maybe Social workers have stirred you into the right direction..

But your above #2 post doesn't seem like you're in a better place after over a month...Please seek help..Your son's future is at stake..help him..dwelling on your own hurt/confusion will never help him..outside influence on your son is something you cannot control BUT what you CAN control is a "CONSISTENT MESSAGE" and open door to him to talk about it..IF you close him out ( to protect yourself) He will become at the mercy of public sector/Social workers/Police/ School officials...Stand up for and with your child!! PLEEZE!!

Sure you can. Just don't provide links to blogs and websites that are intended to stir the pot.

Considering that you haven't elaborated beyond that, or provided anything actually related to Parenting, and actually provided a link, it seems your intent is to discuss that group. The Politics and Other Controversies forum is a more appropriate venue for that.

Personally I lost interest so I don't want additional information. I was simply providing information I thought you might want. Others upthread provided responses and asked questions which you more or less ignored so you could post a link to a blog. When you aren't an active participant in a thread you started (outside of providing links to controversial sites), people tend to make assumptions regarding your intent.
