>How to Raise a Boy is a weeklong series centered around this urgent question in the era of Parkland, President Trump, and #MeToo.

HAHAHA.

Why is this here? Citing #MeToo implies that somehow, after #MeToo, you're supposed to do something different in raising your boys. As-if teaching your boys to respect women is some magical new idea, or, that telling your boys to walk around with collective guilt for crimes they haven't committed, is somehow going to set them up for a better for life.

>Parkland

Gun shootings are down. Meanwhile, traffic accidents kill scores every year. Why are there no #RespectRedLights movements?

>President Trump

Yeah, sure sucks when the people who actually bother to vote, win an election. Imagine if conservatives "don't get their way" next election (which will likely go Blue, right?), and then they resort to the tactics the left has? Like burning down neighborhoods [1] and blacklisting speakers [2], dumping bottles of water on disabled veterans in wheelchairs, [3] and threatening to lock people in a church and burn it down. [4] You better pray to whatever deity you believe in that right-wingers are more respectful of the next election, or it's gonna be a straight-up bloodbath.

But hey, at least they won't live in San Franisco and complain about the "burden" of having to look at homeless people on their drive to work.

I also didn't understand what this intro had to do with the rest of the post. There is zero reference to this context in the entire article.
