They're not awful human beings. They're propagandized by Cbristianity and a toxic culture of masculinity.

This is basically what toxic masculinity is. It's not that masculinity itself is toxic, although some women, in their hurt, make that claim. There's a lot of positives to so-called masculine traits.

It's toxic to yourself and others when you think men own those traits and that women either can't be allowed to have and develop them or are incapable of doing so.

It's toxic to yourself and others when you you think masculinity makes you better or superior to non-masculine people.

That's what these family members allowed the societal narrative of the purpose of men and women, spirituay abusive anti-Jesus preaching, overly andophillic media, and in more recent years right wing shock jock bloviating to propagandized to them DESPITE the observations of their own eyes and their OWN lived experience.

We are more influenced by the constant passive bombardment of propaganda than we think we are.

Now they're alone and disconnected because they drove everyone who loved them away with their bitterness and gall.

Bittheyre not horrible. They're wounded and manipulated into self destructive beliefs and behavior.
