Dr. J Show | June 12, 2024 - Nick Freitas

"Down with the patriarchy!"

"Toxic masculinity!"

How are men supposed to behave when what comes naturally to them--to defend and protect--becomes defiled and prohibited?

"A lot of young men feel like they're waking up in the middle of the movie and they're the bad guy, and they have no idea why," said husband, father, Virginia delegate and former Green Beret Nick Freitas.

With impressive clarity, Freitas answers these questions:

What does it mean to be a man?
How can they be good men and good fathers?
What are the five skills men must develop?
What effect does an absent or abusive father have on children?
What should single mothers raising sons know?
What does Pew research show about the mental health of women who believe they can "have it all"?

Get ready for clear-minded truth bombs from Nick Freitas by watching the full episode on Locals, or find the first part only on YouTube, Bitchute, or Odysee.

P.S. In case you missed it, Nick hosted Dr. Morse on his own show to discuss motherhood and the importance of infant attachment, among other requirements for a healthy society. Watch it here.

P.P.S. To all the dads out there, the Ruth Institute thanks you sincerely for the essential work you do for the family. We wish you a very Happy Father's Day!

How does this Dr. J Show relate to our on-going (less than one week left!) ex-gay visibility campaign?

Many gay men report a negative sense of their own masculinity. Nick Freitas helps men feel comfortable in their own skin.

As we've learned from our many interactions with ex-gays (thank you for sending us your 300-word stories!), a father wound is a common factor for many men and women who experience same sex attraction.
