Info on the bigot Nick Adams: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_Adams_(commentator)

Relevant part:

Adams opposes education regarding LGBTQ topics in schools and said that only a "bad parent" would take their children to see a drag queen show.[18] LGBTQ Nation, an online news magazine, has alleged Adam's apparent hypocrisy on this topic as he has suggested taking children to Hooters.[18]

I've heard it as "steel sharpens steel" but in the context of male children needing a male role model. I think when boys don't have a male role model growing up they end up like Nick Adams thinking they need to be an alpha male all the time.
