Responses that completely destroy the original argument in a way that leaves little to no room for reply - a targeted, well-placed response to another person, organization, or group of people.
The following things are not grounds for murder:
- Personal appearance ("You're fat", "You're ugly")
- Posts with little-to-no context
- Posts based on a grammar/spelling error
- Dick jokes, "Yo mama", "No, you" type responses and other low effort insults
- "Your values are bad" without any logcal or factual ways of showing that they are wrong ("I believe in capitalism" - "Well, then you must be evil" or "Fuck you you ignorant asshole")
Rules:
- Be civil and remember the human. No name calling or insults. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone else.
- Discussion is encouraged but arguments are not. Don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguments sake.
- No bigotry of any kind.
- Censor the person info of anyone not in the public eye.
- If you break the rules you’ll get one warning before you’re banned.
- Enjoy the community in the light hearted way it’s intended.

Honestly, is that what moms are doing? I have not exeprienced it. If anything, both my parents were overly worried by me hitting puberty. No "bees and flowers" talk either, they relied on my school providing that.
No, I got no relationship advice from either of my parents, other than their living examples. Which wasn't very good, as advice.
I also don't see why moms should give it to their sons, and dads to their daughters, exclusively?
I suspect what this guy refers to are tropes from song lyrics, which might come from a place of hardship, maybe a mother raising a child without a father. And now I think of it, I've heard women sing this also: "my mother told me about love..." So in the end it's about absent fathers, once again.
