I don't think I've ever said that
But like, one of my exes came from a similar level of religious oppression to me, and he was from a medium-strict muslim family
I'm absolutely not thinking only of christian fundamentalism here
Wow. Aella. I read you before in the rationalist adjacent world but was in the mood a few minute ago and had to *see* you. Googled Aella porn and...wow. Thank you kiddo.

I find my own experience useful to try to communicate exactly how the cultural conservatism was directly enabled by religion, it's not like a separate fluke. But the general thing applies to religions all over the world, and I don't think they're separate flukes either.

I grew up with many practicing Jewish families and didn’t see any oppression. Feels like strictness is there more important variable not religion.
My family was super strict with me and both of my parents were atheists. Has nothing to do with religion.
Lots of bad in religion but it provides meaning and comfort to a huge number of people. Now that they lack religion in the west they also lack meaning and purpose, as well as a fundamental shared morality. The world is not a better place without religion.

That and sending Katherine to a different country seems fairly extensively extremist.
How about a poll on which ones are suitable.
