Evangelicalism is teaching—and homeschooling is enabling and empowering it—that children have no rights to themselves. That they are not their own. That they owe their bodies, minds, and souls to those more powerful than them.

my favorite thing about these tradfundies is the simultaneous insistence that men are supposed to be strong leaders and heads of the family because they were Designed To By God but also god designed them to be helpless stupid babies who can't read or remember any information ever
David wood confessed to having slept with an underage girl before his conversion and I defended him just as much as I have redeemed promiscuous women.
The gospel is for men and women. All sinners
I genuinely don’t want to get married. Today, a coworker complained that his wife asked him to help fold the laundry while she was making him breakfast. He said their 2-year-old daughter was sick last night, so neither of them got enough sleep, yet he chose to go to work early instead. I immediately asked, “Just help fold the laundry???” He mocked her, mimicking the way she asked for help. I’m sure my face said WTF are you even talking about. He even said he’d rather be at work than be with his wife and their 2-year-old “crybaby.” Do better, men. Please. If you can’t act like a husband or a father, don’t get MARRIED.
I'm in a crafting group on FB and literally every post these days is "How do I make my work look like this?" and an AI photo.
Just a constant, constant flow of people who can't tell AI from real art. Even if they do embroidery and the AI embroidery is obviously impossible.
Sure the Gaetz report is bad, but are we REALLY going to start scrutinizing EVERYONE in congress who has committed statutory rape, done illegal drugs, participated in prostitution, and accepted illegal gifts? Surely no one could survive these incredibly high standards!
I cannot stress enough that even if the Haitians killing some geese claim were true, it would be a misdemeanor violation of hunting regulations which no right-winger considers an act of savagery when hillbillies do it all the time
When you see parents say things like "the woke stole my child from me" or they use "groomers," what they are talking about is people caring more about the human rights of their child as autonomous human beings than they do, and they want to slur those people in retribution. 3/
Controversial take, but I truly believe minors do not have enough human rights in this country. They're treated like second class citizens. For instance, no court in this country would convict these parents of theft, even though that's exactly what it is.
@sickfemme Yep. I have anxiety and depression. They’re well-managed through medication and the coping strategies I learned in therapy, but they’re absolutely still there. I don’t really expect this battle to ever end.
@CollinRugg That last sentence says a lot.
I know everyone is different, but for me, I was suicidal before I made the decision to leave, because I felt that I had no way out. Once I realized I could go, there was a light at the end of the tunnel. A chance for things to get better.
@unsafeturtle I’ve been reading it! The author seems continually surprised by how awful the Christians he encounters are.
Which is an interesting take, because I’m… not. 😆
@shad0w_fax For my chronic pain? Absolutely. Gimme. Being in constant pain is horrible and holds me back.
For my neurodivergence? No. It’s a core part of who I am.
@thechosenberg Oh hey 5 and 6a are part of how my exhusband pressured me into painful sex I didn’t want to be having.
Weird to see it spelled out like that.
