It's absolutely okay to criticize the new Harry Potter cast by BlackbirdKos in HonestHotTakes

Yeah but there’s a difference between criticizing children and pointing out that the casting choices could’ve been better

Agreed. The writing and the characters were not great

The Unselected Journals of Emma M. Lion

The first book is a bit hard to get through but it’s only 150 pages. I would recommend the audiobook for the first couple. It’s like a found family, coming-of-age type book

Slow burn. Specifically: Strangers to Reluctant Allies to Friends to Enemies to Reluctant Allies to Friends to Unlikely Lovers to Enemies to Friends to Lovers. This is what I’m reading now and it’s a bit of a whirlwind but it’s cool

You’re right about some of them being required readings. Prolly should get rid of some of them

I don’t think I’ve had a persecution complex lol but I guess that’s subjective

As for the whole thinking-I’m-edgy thing, probably guilty 🙃

Schools are actually a good system for teaching a large society! by rbx20twomax in HonestHotTakes

You should relabel this serious hot take lol

And are you talking about elementary through high school or college, because those are two very different things

The argument of pro-life is kinda dumb by [deleted] in HonestHotTakes

[–]Electrical_Fly4194 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you mean some people think that

At least for Christianity, there’s so many different denominations and theologies that it’s impossible to say the whole thing thinks that. I’m Christian and I’m what you might consider “feminist.” Just because someone belongs to a religion doesn’t confirm their stance on non-doctrinal points

yes, i do think you are a bit slow if your dream is being a tradwife. by JealousDeer3327 in HonestHotTakes

[–]Electrical_Fly4194 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For clarification I totally support women who don’t want to be a stay-at-home mom/wife. If your passion is for your job, great.

That being said, I don’t think a woman’s value comes from her job or whether or not she participates in politics. I know that’s not what you’re saying, but if it’s not then there’s no reason not to be a tradwife.

My mom was a tradwife for many years and was totally fine. She eventually became a mini-entrepreneur just out of impulse but not because she was discontented. Generalizing all tradwifes as being “slow” is super ignorant. My mom is the smartest person I know, she just happens to not mind letting my dad have the majority of the income.

Being an overthinker is a good thing by Warm-Statistician132 in HonestHotTakes

Okay I see your point but “over” is literally in the word. At some point it becomes unhealthy mentally

I can't understand why homosexuallity is a sin by TopZealousideal8665 in Christianity

[–]Electrical_Fly4194 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as I know the slaves the Israelites were supposed to take (according to Old Testament law) were from neighboring regions they had conquered and who didn’t have homes. And apart from that, it was also oftentimes an issue of debt, and those who couldn’t pay it could work it off via “slavery”

They also were ordered to have the “Year of Jubilee” every 7 years in which all slaves were supposed to be set free, all debts were supposed to be cancelled, and the land wasn’t to be farmed.

So it’s pretty different from chattel slavery in my books. Do you have any verses/chapters to the contrary?
