Need a plate of generic, insipid platitudes with a giant helping of bad science and misogyny?

"make boys feel better about themselves"

I don't want something like that, I think inherently the goals of leftist liberation make people feel less pressure to correctly present a gender role, so the utility of a guru like JBP vanishes. You don't need to learn to play your role, because you decide what it means to be you. So we don't need to teach boys how to act, we're by our actions creating an environment where that won't be a problem. The interrim between current world and that world won't be flawless, but that's something best addressed by non-explicitly leftist groups. It's not something "the party" or whatever needs to work on

I'm not disagreeing with you there as much as I'm saying you set excessively rigid parameters for what qualifies as political action in what is an intersectional society and people.
