One thing I’ve noticed more and more as I’ve grown older, is that adults are surprisingly stupid! Mothers will get their infant boy’s penis mutilated for no reason other than aesthetics. My own parents made a lot of stupid decisions while raising me that in my view, didn’t need to be made. I don’t think of myself as a smart person, so most of this might just be hubris.
The biggest problem I have with most parents these days is the obsession with posting their children on social media for everyone else to see. It’s just very sad, I don’t know what goes through these parent’s minds. It’s a level of narcissism rivaled only by IVF and surrogacy. How much disrespect must you have for your children’s privacy to just post them on the clear-web for every weird pervert to have access to? This is a very big reason I’m not completely pro-parental rights.
I’m very grateful I was born before this point.
