Not sure Simmo that these turds actually hate anyone who has darker skin than them, they just think they are superior.
Watchd To Kill a Mockingbird" for the 600th time on the week-end, and the thing that turned the jury was the Negro charged with rape, saying he felt sorry for the white woman. Moral indigation of people like Jones et al, who sincerely feel morally superior to us turns my stomach.
I agree, I think they believe themselves to be superior to most people regardless of race/ethnicity, they view poor whites as āuseful idiotsā in their never ending quest for personal power usually by stoking the irrational fears of the ālesser whitesā. However, hate and the belief of superiority arenāt exactly mutually exclusive, in fact they go together quite well and often.
Iād be interested to see what sort of things theyd be role playing.
Iām no expert in the subject matter of teenage sexuality & development, but it is a critical time for teenagers, that much cant be disputed.
On the one hand, yes, I agree with you, people should not be ashamed for having multiple partners/ being bisexual, absolutely. And yes, I do agree that the program would/ should be aimed at developing empathy towards others as opposed to teaching kids to take a particular course of action with their own sexuality, which is most definitely good.
On the other hand, Iād be wanting the school to be very strongly emphasising that although your 14 year old friend may be experimenting with girls and boys and be doing it with multiple people, that it is equally acceptable not to be doing so, and that in fact in the vast majority of cases this wont be occurring.
I still do think its weird that they would be role playing a 14 year old having multiple partners, because I just dont think its a realistic assessment of what 14 year olds are doing (unless things have changed in the last 10 years), and I wouldnt want the balance being swung in the favour of that sort of behaviour being normalised for a 14 year oldā¦ but what do I know, Im an old fart now.
Im sure (well I hope), that its a balanced discussion.
Iām sure schools do teach, not to be pressured into doing things your not comfortable with.
Iād also add, donāt use your definition of partner either. Having 5 partners in your 20ās vs 5 partners at 14 means two very different things. Without getting into the nitty gritty, when I was at that age, everyone wasnāt banging but they were doing other things. Which would fall under the definition of sexual experience.
I never said it wasnāt okay, not sure how you got that from what I said. I said it isnāt that normal for it to be like that. Maybe read what I said before you try and get all moralistic on me.
Oh and btw, ā ā ā ā -shaming happens even if you have one partner so why make the differentiation on how many partners and the sexual orientation (not you the program)?
Weeeeell, define āmultipleā and define āpartners.ā
And define ānormal.ā
Because itās not unusual for a person to have three different partners in three months at aged fourteen. Regardless of their sexuality.
Perhaps not the norm, but not out of the realms, either.
And Iām sure no-one would be shaming a fourteen year-old straight kid for doing that, or even think it worth commenting on.
By and large, most kids are justā¦dealing with this.
And youāll have to do a lot of convincing for me to accept that itās old white men with hang-ups about it that are anything other than the problem.
