What do you remember about 2017? Hard to believe it was only four short years ago. Aside from all things politically, an event took place on the Portland Max on Memorial Day weekend. This was a situation that should have never happened. Sadly, it cost the lives of innocent people. People that didn't deserve their time on earth to be cut short. Tune in to this episode to find out about the self-proclaimed patriot Jeremy Christian. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/crookedcrimesisters/support
On May 26, 2017, 35-year-old Jeremy Christian boarded a train in Portland, Oregon - heavily intoxicated and armed with his “right to free speech” and a knife. What happened next aboard the TriMet MAX Light Rail would forever alter the course of every single passenger onboard. As investigators eventually pieced together what led up to one of Oregon’s most horrific attacks, they discovered several alarming warning signs in the 24 hours leading up to a tragedy that many speculate - might well have been preventable.

Earlier this year, the Oregon Historical Quarterly published a special edition called “White Supremacy & Resistance.” The issue evolved as a reaction to the racial violence that resulted in two murders on a Portland MAX light rail line in 2017. Articles explore white supremacy in the formation of Oregon and its state constitution, as well as the history of violence to dominate and control nonwhite populations, from Indigenous peoples and African Americans to East Indian, Chinese and Japanese immigrants. We talk with one of the guest editors of the issue, emeritus professor of Black Studies at Portland State University Darrell Millner, and with independent historian Johanna Ogden.

How do you raise boys to become great men? That's the big question we tackle here at On Boys. It's the question Jen grapples with in her own home and on BuildingBoys, and the question Janet helps parents and teachers explore and answer through her coaching and online courses. Michael C. Reichert has spent a lot of time studying this question as well. He's a psychologist, dad & grandfather of boys and the founding director of the Center for the Study of Boys' and Girls' Lives. He's also the author of the recently released book, How to Raise a Boy: The Power of Connection to Build Good Men. The key, he says, is to make sure your boys feel known and loved. Many people today blame "toxic masculinity" for violent, entitled and racist behavior in men and boys. But blaming "masculinity" for these behaviors draws attention away from the ways the current method of raising and socializing boys leads to all kinds of harms, including loss of virtue, loss of connection and loss of humanity, Reichert says. Unfortunately, stereotypes about boys & masculinity cause many of us to forget or neglect boys' basic need for connection. Pushing a boy out of the nest too early -- insisting he go it alone with minimal support -- does not lead to strength, resilience and grit. Boys who lack a solid relational anchor (usually, a strong relationship with a parent or other adult) are adrift -- and these the boys who harm themselves and others. Of course, boys don't make connection easy. Thanks in part of stereotypes and societal expectations, boys are likely to resist, reject and avoid your efforts to connect. Try anyway. Keep trying. Reichert recommends these three strategies to build connection: 1 Deep listening 2. Special time 3. The listen-limit-listen model of discipline It's possible to reach your son, no matter how disconnected he may be, Reichert says. It is never too late to develop and deepen your relationship with your son. Raising good boys, Reichert says, is really quite simple. "If we violate boys' basic natures, bad outcomes will ensue," he says, "If we meet their basic needs, they're likely to wind up connected to their hearts, connected to their virtue and connected to their goodness." Memorial to the victims of the Portland MAX train shooting In this episode, Janet, Jen & Michael discuss: The importance of connection to boys How relationships help boys become good men The "Man Box" & how it restricts & harms boys The 2017 MAX train attack in Portland & what it teaches us about masculinity Toxic masculinity The mama's boy myth (Spoiler alert: It is NOT TRUE that only men can teach boys how to be good men) Dads' role in raising boys (Spoiler: It's NOT to teach him the secrets of masculinity) 3 strategies to build connection with boys Why boys won't work for teachers they don't believe care about them How stereotypes affect boys' behavior Why you need to create space & time to simply be delighted by your boys How to control your emotions so you can become emotionally available to your son Why it's perfectly OK to not be perfect Links we mentioned (or should have) in this episode: How to Raise a Boy: The Power of Connection to Build Good Men -- Michael's book michaelcreichert.com -- Michael's website (includes contact information) The Mama's Boy Myth: Why Keeping Our Sons Close Makes Them Stronger -- book by Kate Stone Lombardi When Boys Become Boys: Development, Relationships, and Masculinity -- book by Judy Chu, mentioned at 19:58 The Truth About Parenting Teen Boys -- BuildingBoys post that addresses the "asshole" question mentioned at 28:00
It's been an interesting couple of weeks. Less than a week after the Manchester Arena attack in London, 3 people on a Portland MAX train were stabbed, 2 of them killed, defending two young women from an attacker. We do talk at length about those killings and how they made us think and feel. This part of the show is not funny and it is not meant to be funny. But it's relevant and important so we decided it was something we had to do. Use the links below if you want to help the victims & their families. Also on this show, Aba and Chase went on a hike. You'll want to hear all about that. Then we went to Handsome Pizza on Killingsworth so listen in to hear what we thought about that. And you'll want to stick around for all the entertainment news including Alien Covenant, Star Wars The Last Jedi, American Gods, Fargo, Better Call Saul, Game of Thrones, Twin Peaks, The Orville, Castlevania, New Mutants, Blade Runner 2049, Tracy Morgan and a whole bunch more.
