You hang around some fucked up people. Nobody ever made a comment like that to me while raising my daughter.

Typically, physical violence towards boys is seen as normal, expected and necessary. As violence is seen as the natural realm of males. While girls are perfect flowery princesses that must be protected. At least until puberty when everyone* who is not their parent seems to regard every teen girl as an incubator.

*: People who uncritically abscribe to traditional misogynistic conceptions of gender.

Bah. I love my friends’ kids but I’m not above joking that the dad should abandon his family when he can’t hang out. Or tie them to a stake in the backyard when he can’t get a sitter. Absurdity is funny when it’s obvious that it’s absurd.

I’ve had a conversation or two that went like that. Weird strangers telling me I should be kicking my kids ass. And they say it in front of my kids too.

If you’ve got parents around you telling you your kids are floating turds I’d have a good hard look at how you’re parenting. Or hey if everyone around you is insane maybe it’s just everyone is insane…

My own mother encourages me to beat my kids, just like she did to me. And the bitch wonders why I don’t answer her phone calls.

Hopefully you don’t reference that thing to determine your morality

If someone derives right and wrong from something/someone else then it’s not morality

I grew up in a very anti-religious community there was one person in my grade that followed some sort of Christianity but I never talked to her

All that to say I just find it funny
