I read a post on r/trp detailing a guy's entry to the red pill. He said that during high school he was considered very attractive, yet didn't lose his virginity until senior year while his friends were all getting laid much earlier than that. He ended up going into an LTR with the girl who finally fucked him, then continued the beta and got fucked over.
This is a recurring theme in r/trp; countless of these stories are posted, and countless more are experienced but never heard of. I'm one of those cases, and eventually I realized it was due to my upbringing: a beta father who was pretty emotionally distant and never taught me game, and an overbearing mother.
What can we do about this, from outside the family unit -- anything? Western society has such a stranglehold on the importance of families raising their children their way. Schools teach blue pill ideology. There are so many kids who grow up with alpha potential -- intelligent, good looking, athletic, talented -- but who fail and slip into BP because of their family life.
Of course, for those RP men who have children, we'll raise them RP. But how can we scale that knowledge, as that is the most effective way to make a real impact?
Can we scale that knowledge, in spite of Western society's vested interest in spawning beta males?
The best thing I can think of -- and it really isn't even a very good idea -- would be some sort of RP children's book that isn't explicitly RP. We find RP examples in the mainstream all the time and the public gobbles it up, but if you were to ever put "RP" on it, the same message would be criticized til the cows come home.
TL;DR: how can we right the course of boys who are set to become betas, specifically those who come from the common scenario of a beta father and overbearing mother? Is this at all possible, given Western society's vested interest in spawning beta males and the wide disdain for TRP?

How has knowledge about women been passed on before? Partly it was leading-by-example: sons watched their fathers and learned. But also through word of mouth, and through initiation rites or army service. That was usually after puberty, so children's stories should probably be ruled out.
The last 2 or 3 generations get most of their relationship 'schooling' from TV and movies, that could be one thing to attack.
I disagree with others who say it was "hidden knowledge", it was rather "man talk" knowledge of the kind that you had in your barbershop, but TRP used to be mainstream talk, not part of some secret cult. Even religious texts preached it.
Unfortunately, male only spaces have almost become extinct. I 'm pretty sure if you just increased male-only spaces, you would have more guys being 'schooled' properly. So there, another think that could be done is have more male spaces and/or boys only schools.
