Most of them don't know about this particular reconstruction and are usually taken with one of the daughter traditions, but underrated in the whole "broken young man" discourse is that deep in our cultural wellspring is letting young men behave like wolves for a few years and then marrying them off
Rather like a lot of kooky right wing ideas, "these guy think being in a kóryos would fix them" is such a kooky idea that people just sort of paddle around it, but it's absolutely central to the whole broken enterprise

I try and look at history descriptively, but I can't help but notice this seems terrible and maybe it's a social problem that we have a bunch of 16 year olds who want it, as a thought
