You're right.

But like... I almost don't blame parents nowadays for failing to discipline their kids when they are one call to CPS away from landing in jail if they do. Like how do you exercise authority over someone if they have a ready at hand "get-out-of-jail-free" card always at hand?

Similar, aren't men in the same boat with women? Remember the recording from the Depp/Heard trial? "Call for help, who's going to believe you?" Nowadays I don't question why so many men are going trans - I question why so FEW are since it's an immediate trump card you can wave around. Like CS Lewis said in Abolition of Man - "we remove the organ then demand its function. We laugh at honor then are shocked to find cowards jn our midst."

I feel old at 45 years old. Where and when I grew up, the 90’s latchkey-kid era in NYC, violent, rule-breaking (including criminality), flamboyant, loud, and brazen men (that includes scum of the earth) monopolized a fair share of women. Certainly not people I want near my daughter when she starts dating, but far different than the schlemiels you call millstone husbands. Many boomer dads I grew up around could be described as such—air-headed, uninvolved, checked out.
