Thank you for your writing on this. I started watching Adolescence over the weekend, half way through! It is a deeply unsettling show, amazingly shot and amazingly acted. It makes me think hard about the conventions I want to have with my 12 year old son. Deep breath…
If you can stomach the watch, it will provide you with a host of discussion opportunities with your son. But no doubt, it’s a difficult show to take in.
Beautifully written article that summarizes the tenderness, insecurity, and often outward projection of troubling emotions onto others, women in particular. Although I am a woman, as a psychologist who works with a lot of men, and as a parent of two young men, I appreciate the struggles they experience. I am working on an article right now about boys and men, and with your permission, would like to quote you in that article.
I also really enjoyed the show. Great article, Doc. One thing - my understanding is that incel means involuntarily celibate, not intentionally.
You are so correct, Marty. Firing my editing team!
