More and more of the backlash building against divorce and single parent homes. The whole arc - sexual liberation, mass broken (or never formed) homes, damaged children, backlash, swing back right - is engineered and planned.
Let me explain why today's adults want toys.
We have an entire generation who grew up in families fragmented by no-fault divorce and sexual “liberation”—with parents who divorced, never married each other, or brought a revolving door of partners into the home.
Those children were starved of the stability, maternal love, and paternal love they needed to mature.
Parents are supposed to understand, support, and accommodate their children. But when adult sexual identity, validation, and desire take priority, children are forced to understand, support, and accommodate their parents.
Adult sexual liberation --> inverting the parent-child relationship.
Those kids are adults now, but they never really had a childhood. Finally in control of their own lives, they’re grasping for some semblance of the childhood they were denied.
We can only hope their attempt to reclaim childhood stops with the He-Man dolls—and that they don’t repeat the cycle by forcing their own children to carry adult burdens.
