Raising kids these days must be a real minefield with all this toxic culture being so accessible.

Fundamentalist religion is at the top of the toxic culture, and it has been around since before the incel term.

Anyone offering easy answers to complex questions should be suspect. And that does largely incriminate all religious groups around the world. They often espouse seemingly decent and benign ideologies. But unfortunately the mindset that latches on to those things, idealogues; are the danger. Even if the ideology themselves aren't necessarily.

They often espouse seemingly decent and benign ideologies.

Sometimes they are so conditioned that they don't even think of their bigotry as bigotry.

I think organized religion fills their heads with problematic ideas about gender roles.

Heh, while religion isn't required for that. It's impossible to argue that it doesn't help with it. Putting faith in anything and turning off critical thinking is always a recipe for disaster.

Pretty sure the old testament gives wives more authority in the community and in the household than what our current government is aiming for.

Fucking hell there are instructions for abortifactants in the OT

Don't pin this on religion, this is purely the bias of petty men coloring their interpretations.

We had an easy answer - a decent paying job that offered a decent lifestyle and a hope for a better future but the rich took it away.

Usually, it's just another term for the same thing, I would say.

And most parents are too lazy or too tired to police their children

The kids are also at school half the day or more, we’re trying to teach and reinforce critical thinking as much as possible with our son. And I’m trying to show him that there are lots of ways to solve problems when examples arise.

But I’m also a dad that both fixes the cars and cooks the dinners and solders the electronics and sows on the buttons. He’s a smart kid, and a contrarian like his folks, so I hope he’s gonna be ok.

lol no one raises kids these days, they leave that to youtube

If I choose to have children, they'll be home-schooled, and their internet use will be entirely supervised until they're older. None of this, hand-a-toddler-a-tablet nonsense.
