Well, no, I do "get why". But that "why" is just "because they see themselves in her and don't want to think of themselves as transparently repulsive pedophiles" in which case we just return to point 1 of "conservatives genuinely get stressed out thinking about other people"
The thing with this "concern" garbage is that it doesn't even work here. She barely even tries to make this argument and when she does it's about "fertility". She's very obviously motivated by disgust and pride and I don't get why people are pretending to be stupid about it
The thing to get about conservative parents is that they literally just don't believe in abuse as a concept because to them "parents know best" is a law of the universe and not just a turn of phrase used to get 3 year olds to stop asking why they have to eat vegetables
This is downstream of the fact that they just don't really understand that other people exist in general and thinking about this stresses them out. It's the same reason they can figure out *other parents* "spank their kids too much" but have no real introspection about this
@Lispy_Dipshit Last session my technician was telling me that I "handle the pain so well" and that I "do such a good job hiding it". Do you think he was hitting on me
As much as I support the Nuclear family and how fundamental it is for life.
I never thought I’d hear a person I consider a friend say there is no place for me in this country simply because of who I chose to love.
I never once pushed my lifestyle onto anyone and have always voted and advocated for conservative principles.
But I have the same civil rights as anyone else in this country and I am saddened by this insane comment.
