The Making of a Wife Rapist: What if violence is a sign that people want to feel good and do so in horrible ways?

That is a main learning in my life history interviews with people who commit violent acts.

The Making of a Wife Rapist: Authoritarian parents think they are doing the right thing. They are strict with their children, which, in fact, does promote optimal child development, when strictness is combined with sensitive responsiveness and love.

The Making of a Wife Rapist: Human development is complicated. If it were simple, we human beings would have figured out long ago how to make the world a safe and loving place for everybody.

I think we knew how to do that all along.

The Making of a Wife Rapist: I am of two minds about Mack. On the one hand, I am horrified at his harmful acts. What he did is wrong.

On the other hand, Mack was a child once. His future was wide-open with much to look forward to.

Sunday thought: America’s trauma. What Reich is talking about has a name: moral injury. Moral injury occurs when we witness violations of our beliefs and values about how to treat other human beings. Our values are justice, care, dignty, worth, & self-determination. open.substack.com/pub/robertre...

The Making of a Wife Rapist: Mack fit the profile of an incel, which stands for involuntarily celibate. Incels are men who have no sexual partners, are ashamed and blame women for their celibacy, hate them for it, and are socially isolated and angry.

No, not Christmas Adventurers; MAGA Justices who are intentionally shredding the US Constitution. If we survive the Trump/GOP takeover ... SCOTUS must be replaced, except the three brilliant women Justices; Sotomayor, Kegan, and Brown Jackson.

Start over with REAL Constitutional scholars.

The Making of a Wife Rapist: What if deep down, dangerous violent men are mistrustful little boys angry that no one loves them and who use violence to make themselves feel better?

Mack was like that. He sought excitement, entertainment, and vengeance for relief.

The Making of a Wife Rapist: People who are violent are shallow and uncomplicated. They want something. They do whatever it takes to get what they want. That’s it. There’s nothing more to their violent ways than this.
