    Same premise as that show SuperNanny: Children love nothing more than structure imposed by someone they see as a superior.

    Man-children are no different. Plenty of kids I grew up with never had a childhood, working on a ranch. They were adults, by modern standards, by around age 14. And yet there’s plenty of 30-year olds that still have learning and growing to do to reach the same place as a farm kid.

    Guys at 10 live under a benevolent dictatorship that may or may not have their best interests at heart - it all depends on the dictatorial powers in play

    Guys at 20 live in an anarcho-syndicalist commune that may or may devolve into an authoritarian regime governed by the strongest individuals

    The one thing that man is actually qualified to speak on is child psychology, but that doesn’t pay as well as right wing grifting.

      Too bad he uses psychology to further a right-wing agenda instead of just fucking talking about psychology. I’ve seen him justify some truly abominable shit with ‘but the research says…’

      Someone who supports spanking, who would force any child questioning their gender identity in the closet has no reason to be around any child.
