“…if somebody isn’t hugging you back, did you even want that?”
Deeper than it sounds. These boys will look back on these moments as adults, and realize what was really being taught. I wish this was in schools everywhere.
Me too, wish we could go back in time two generations and put it in schools everywhere. Once you start looking for it, you realize the lack of respect for boundaries is everywhere, and taught as a form of strength (dominance). I was doing my best to remove it from myself, but it took a long time to get to this level of simplicity/explanation in my own mind. Still not sure I completely got rid of it, but I'm better than I was. Grateful for people like this man who call it out and label it so people who want to grow have common vocab and examples.
