      this is literally the problem. parents don't even face minimal moral disapprobation for most abuses. people think the very idea of parents having power over children is funny, much as John Adams found it funny when his wife suggested men had power over women.https://twitter.com/nberlat/status/1338634504697749504 …

      responses to that tweet are split between a majority of people being giggling asshats and then a smaller number of people telling me about the horrific abuse they experienced as children.

      parents can take their kid's phones; spy on them; lock them in the house; forbid them to see SO's (queer or otherwise); refuse to help them with college; kick them out of the house. there's hardly even a social consensus that any of that is bad.

      I think ”Lord of the Flies” addresses what happens when kids aren’t provided structure and discipline. I guess it’s fine Piggy got his skull crushed by a rock as long as the kids are able to do whatever they want unencumbered by their parent’s oppressive tyrany🤦🏻‍♂️

      Fiction books don't actually "prove" anything about psychology and social science because - brace yourself - they are made up

      You would think this would be obvious but no The worst was when I had a Christian teacher read us the story "The Monkey's Paw" and then warn us that the story proved messing with the occult is no laughing matter

      I’m seeing all the likes come in on the post & it leaves me shaking my head. Was this really “the worst?” Like it was so awful that a Christian teacher read a fable to you that warned against the occult? So bad that it weighs on you still to this day? Really? This is your worst?

      It's not the worst thing that ever happened to me but it's the stupidest example of someone making a spurious argument from fiction to make a point about real life

      It "weighs on me" how fucking stupid it was, even among the many many stupid things I was "taught" my Christian teachers growing up

          Bet it’s not weirder than my 6th grade CCD teacher showing us the (graphic) video of her giving birth...to show us how ‘beautiful’ new life is I guess? (Maybe it’s no wonder I turned out child-free)

          Christian teacher: "I wish I had a story about the dangers of the occult that will remain with the kids even into adulthood." *One finger on the monkey paw curls up*
