Karen also penned an incredibly bad article on homeschooling.

To be fair, Karen lives in Montreal. But she sounds like everyone on MSNBC.

And they call us “weird.”

Yes...let’s keep taking masculinity away from men. That’s a great answer to completely feminize everyone and then where will we be?

All I can say is, Jezer-Morton!
Waded in, had to withdraw. I’d rather swim in the Seine than read all that.

Ascribing to an identity of grievance is an extremely limiting way to define yourself.

The projection is strong with this one.

Yea, it’s a conundrum.

If I don’t post the whole thing/prompting clicking thru to the article, I’m accused of being a blogpimp.

Ah, The Cut.

The same rag that allowed Meghan Markle to use it to threaten the UK’s royal family...

Nuff said.

LOL! Good luck with that honey. You will have just as much success convincing your sons not to rebel at all the blame and discrimination heaped upon them, and thus to become Conservative as your Conservative parents had convincing you not to become a Left-tard. Welcome to the human race. It was ever thus.

I had a hard core leftist aunt and uncle.

They used to call me a Nazi and I used to call them Commies.

In those days we all had a good laugh about it.

Wait until she finds a copy of Ayn Rand’s “The Virtue of Selfishness” lying around the house.

A teenager who reads that knows what to say to parents who start telling them what to think.

“I own my life. I didn’t choose for you to be my parents.”

At that point lefty mom is going to break down and cry.

She also sounds like every leftist mother I’ve ever met. They are completely involved in teaching their (warped ) values to their children. They truly care what their children believe.
The same cannot be said of most conservatives. Most I know are mostly concerned with work and leave teaching their kids to schools. The only different ones are homeschoolers which are a small subset of conservatives. That may be why leftists pick on homeschoolers so much and keep repeating ridiculous myths about them.

Jonathan Cahn addresses the sexual confusion and perversion of our culture. He says that it’s become the liberal narrative of......

Masculinity in males and femininity in females = BAD!

But.....

Masculinity in females and femininity in males = GOOD!

Leftist views are a “luxury” for their wealthy or status seeking want to be wealthy readers.

They show them off like high end purses and shoes.

If times get hard this nonsense stops in a hurry.

Tell your sone that the democrat party is the party of stupid women and weak men. The republican party is the party of normal people of strong women and real men.

In my house my mother and father had differing political views and registered in different political parties—and there was no debating at least in front of the kids.

Their attitude about politics for me was very clear.

“You figure it out.”

Lol.

Liberalism, which the author celebrates, requires validation of oneself to come from outside influences.

Conservatism, which is what the author is describing, requires validation of oneself come from honest reflection on one’s own efforts and the results thereof.

The author makes the mistake of analyzing conservatism from a liberal point of view, hence the emphasis on grievance-based identities. She describes young men’s shift to the right as a “slide”, clearly showing that she believes liberalism to be the superior position, and then proceeds to pretend that any rightward movement must be caused by the same forces that are pushing young women leftward.

As I said regarding her anti-homeschool diatribe, there is an extraneous T in her last name.

“Anatomical graffiti is a proud tradition that I am happy to have in my home”

What does this even mean?

A few decades ago, I read an article from a lefty Mom about her attempt at raising her kids with no guns. There were no toy guns, no gun imagery in the home, and she monitored their TV habits. She thought she’d locked everything down (this was before the interweb was ubiquitous).

She came down to breakfast one morning (I guess hubby cooked) and to her alarm, the kids had eaten the toast into the shape of handguns and were “shooting” each other.

I found a contemporary version of this story, seemingly from a lefty Mom, who has more well-adjusted approach vs Karen: https://www.freerangekids.com/i-thought-my-sons-shouldnt-play-with-toy-guns-i-was-wrong/

“My kids have bitten toast into the shape of pistols. Keeping toy guns away from them is a fool’s errand.

“They happen to be history buffs, particularly fascinated with Ancient Rome (swords) and the American Revolution (muskets). Toy wooden muskets have proven to stimulate hours and hours of creative play, which, combined with poring over books about American history, has made for educational and fun activities I could only dream of for them. We also have a pretty good arsenal of neon-colored Nerf guns and Super Soakers.

“The 7 and 11 year old have both enjoyed archery at summer camp, and if they wish to learn target shooting with rifles at appropriate ages, I will not stand in the way. I would much, much rather they enjoyed this sport than get absorbed into hours of first-person-shooter video games before they are old enough to put those in perspective. I would also like them to know how to safely handle any firearms they might encounter out in the world.”
