ANECDOTE

Friend Left Misogyny After Finding A Relationship

  • Jordan shared a friend who embraced misogynist influencers while single, then left that ideology once he entered a happy relationship.
  • The relationship solved loneliness and dating frustration that had fueled the extremist fixation.
ADVICE

Broaden Perspective With Real World Exposure

  • Encourage varied real-world experiences like travel, volunteering, and work to broaden perspective and humanize groups targeted by propaganda.
  • Jordan notes teens often only know family and school, so travel and diverse interaction supply crucial data.
INSIGHT

Filial Responsibility Laws Are Limited

  • Filial responsibility laws exist but are rarely enforced and won't force adult children to care for a parent; they're mainly for cost reimbursement to institutions.
  • Jordan warns state enforcers, not private actors, hold that power in practice.
