Part 4/12:
The discourse continues with a provocative claim: many societal issues are rooted in the feminization of men. Figures like Speaker Johnson have pointed fingers at social welfare programs, such as Medicaid, and the phenomenon of "stay-at-home sons." The narrator discusses how some mothers, particularly single mothers, may inadvertently enable adult sons to remain dependent and emotionally tied, resisting their sons’ exit from the nest—a sentiment tying into traditional fears about male independence. The portrayal of "stay-at-home sons" as a product of enabled, overly nurturing mothers underscores a belief that societal changes diminish masculinity.
