Another brilliant essay on a critically important topic / Thank you Ayaan! My 5 cents on this: From years of prosecuting violent crimes & drug traffickers in DC’s local and fed courts, here’s the single most common factor BY FAR of these young men whom, sadly, it was my duty to prosecute: No stable father figure in the home, often from whole neighborhoods bereft of that presence. The hugely decisive role of this factor was and remains undeniable - Yet our woke policy mandarins insist on denying it, burying their heads instead in critical theory and similar dodges. And millions of boys continue to languish sans fathers.

I think AHA was advocating for the adoption of Christian norms in her book "Nomad," so I certainly find a continuity in her views for the last 15 or so years. It has been a while since I read the book, but if I remember correctly, AHA's father adored her and her intellect even with the stifling restraints of Islam. The strength and resilience of people raised in a two-parent family is remarkable.
