Want a reasonable compromise? Here you go: keep your fucking nose out of other people's business. Sounds reasonable to me.

I would vote for almost anyone named Siobhan Dunnavant, except that one.

"not a ‘ban,’ but simply an assertion "

Assert my ass,

The whole point is to get the rubes all worked up. And we know what a worked up Rube really wants-bonfires. Big ass bonfires they can march around, pretending there's a stake in the middle with a witch tied to it.

So when we only met children play age appropriate video games that's a ban as well ?

This is a losing issue ,shit for brains ,not only are y'all in the wrong , but also this is meant to divide and conquer ( distract from foreign policy and economics )

Also talking to kids about sex disorders their minds

This isn't a benevolent agenda

CRT says there are exactly zero good white people, that even white people treat each other's well,it's always out of their own self interest

Y'all made Desantis win 70% of the vote in a purple state,and Disney is sinking like a stone ,but keep having these shit for brains takes,and don't forget to take your SSRI

If a statute, ordinance or regulation enables these dipnozzles to block the availability of books in a library or school, it seems to fit the dictionary definition of “ban.” Just because the Gaspacho Police can’t bust down your door, confiscate the offending publication and arrest you doesn’t change that. But the book is certainly banned, or “banned,” from that library or school. I mean, this isn’t hard to understand, but that doesn’t keep the fuckknobs from distorting the very language they claim we’re twisting.

Add “ban” to the list of words and terms perverted by the right. In this case, a ban is not a ban unless it’s absolute. As Brother Pierce would say, JFC.

Too, this ban idiocy is what you get from a party that can only roll on hate, fear and lies for obvious reasons.

“(The nude character is the author’s mother, who has killed herself in a bathtub.)” Not for nothing, but the nude character is also a cartoon mouse. Prove to me you read and comprehended Maus or GTFO. These idiots.

It's amazing to think parents these days would imagine that their kids have never been exposed to anything like this and need protected. They've all got personal computers/pornboxes in their kids bedrooms. In the unlikely chance they were able to keep their kids away from the good stuff on their PCs you can bet that their best friend's Mom and Dad have Pornhub bookmarked on their PC(password protected with 1234ABC)

There's also loaded pistols in each of the parents nightstands but nobody worries about that because nothing bad could ever happen there.

So, I found my mom's copy of Xaviera Hollander's "The Happy Hooker" when I was thirteen or so. Mom caught me reading and just shook her head. She knew I was a devourer of books.

My first thought was, "Is sex really this banal?"

It’s undeniable that teachers and librarians are aligned in a super woke conspiracy to get kids to read books. Seriously, the teachers and librarians I know aren’t “pushing” specific content (okay that’s a lie, they push well written and imaginative literature), just thrilled when a kid puts down the phone and reads any printed page.

In a just world, the Alabama forced birth horror story would have led on the evening news nationwide so the forced birthers could be shunned for the consequences of their actions, as morality requires.

How do the every-sperm-is-sacred anti-abortionists take this? Because they know for sure those whores be lyin' when they claim to have been raped or the victim of incest, and we're supposed to trust DOCTORS when they say there's a fetal abnormality? The same doctors who urge us to get Bill Gates' nanobot vaccine?

AMAC claims they are "pushing" Maus on the kids, and that they are "exposing every student". I really, really hate them.

My path to manhood was indeed marred by the media that I consumed. I was born in 1971. Watched way too much television as a child and a latch-key teenager. Saw movies ostensibly meant for adults (not that anyone cared). Some trad 80s porn. What was I exposed to? Misogyny. Homophobia. A toxic attitude toward sex relations. Madonna/whore. The sense that men were supposed to be amoral sex machines with big dicks, conquering and discarding a series of bimbos who deserved whatever ill treatment they got. I learned stuff like that, and it took decades to unlearn (to the degree that I have).

I may miss some things about the America I grew up in, but I don't miss all that, and I'd like to see less of it today. It was no golden age. Things were getting better for women and LGBT folk, sure; but the treatment I saw people endure in primary and high school scarred them for life, I know for a fact.
