    I suspect you empathize with him and encourage him to empathize with people regardless of gender. Aiming to raise an adult who happens to be a man rather than a man who happens to be an adult. As well as teaching emotional regulation

      again, easy to say, hard to do.

      what does that actually look like moment to moment? what do people do differently between those that do and those that don’t succeed in this? how can you teach something you don’t know because no one taught you?

      what does an empathy lesson look like?

      it’s a hard problem and we really do need to figure out some specifics if we want to make any real progress.
