The various cases like Shraddha case or Nikita or other cases have led to discussion on women but not much on focusing on how boys are raised by families and what message they get from media, internet, society or family or older men.
Are boys being raised to be entitled? Not value human life? Aftab's parents knew he was violent, had volatile aggression. Why they never taught him anything or got him therapy in time? Why they pressurised Shraddha instead to stay with him and not break up with him? Why they blackmailed Shraddha instead and promised her Aftab would change someday?
Why society asks girls to be patient or tolerant, be empathetic and wait for man to change while not asking men to be sensitive, empathetic, caring or respecting women or controlling their temper?
Why men are rather encouraged to be violent or angry or controlling? Why boys and men who are not violent, are mocked and called weak or sissy? Whereas violent and aggressive or philandering ones are called alpha or chad? Or real manly men?
Why parents of boys do not discipline them or teach them to control own aggression? Or stay loyal to partners or value human life? Why they do not get therapy for sons if they know their sons has violent or psychopathic tendencies? Why they hope some girl will change him or hope his partner will tolerate him? Why some parents themselves also tolerate violence of own son? Are they afraid to lose control of male heir or afraid who will care for them in old age? Are boys growing up entitled or with wrong ideas of what it means to be a man? Or how to treat women? Are older men failing to be good role models for young boys? Do boys grow up seeing dads or grandpas abuse moms and grannies or put down women and repeat same behaviour with other women?
Are films, TV shows or video games or so called manosphere sites and social media giving wrong ideas of masculinity to men and promoting violence and misogyny?
Why such stigma against male mental health and refusal to admit own issues or take therapy?
