    From what I could witness, most likely the “first abuser” is most likely a close family member, either the (step-)father or some uncle or grandfather - people who themselves believe in such values they call “traditional”.

      Father’s need to support their sons, show empathy, and actually engage with their children in a meaningful way. Hug your fucking kids!

      Yeah, but also (step-)mother or some aunt or grandmother, maybe even girlfriend. Not only men are pushing these “traditional” values.

        This is true, but if even just one family member protected them from this harmful rhetoric, it saves hope for the kid.
