Any wagers on Hegseth's father being as big a misogynistic jerk as his son?

Seeing how fast Petey-boy's mother recanted her very damning letter made me wonder if her husband threatened her if she didn't disavow what she now claims was written in haste.

It would not be in the least surprising if the son learned his shitty attitudes from watching how his father treats his mother.

Where did this guy learn to brutalize women.
To treat women as objects to be scorned, humiliated and injured.

First he has to detox and get clean and sober.
Then he has some very hard therapy work ahead of him.
