A group of mothers came to Dr. Shefali alarmed that their 12- to 14-year-old sons were sneaking out at night to roam the subway tunnels together and form their own underground brotherhood. Her reaction was not alarm but recognition: boys who are not initiated by conscious older men will initiate themselves, and the results range from underground clubs to gangs to cults. Single mothers, she observes with compassion and directness, often carry their own deep trauma at the hands of male anger — and that unprocessed trauma can cause them to project onto their boys' natural wildness, clamping their energy and shaming impulses that simply need channelling. The prescription is clear: seek out Big Brothers Big Sisters, find a wise uncle, get him a mentor who can talk to him about his body and his impulses. She cites Scott Galloway's argument that elder men should deliberately adopt uninitiated boys — because the alternative is the manosphere stepping in to do the job.
