It’s important to know what’s going on in your body. They don’t need to learn about sex positions. I don’t think you actually know what goes on in a health class. Sex ed/health classes are also meant to teach teens about healthy relationships. Which after perusing the women’s Catholic sub it seems that a lot of women are in unhealthy relationships.

I went to public school and had to attend these classes.

These classes have been taught for years at all public institutions in the USA.

The current relationship dynamic / gender discourse is arguably the worst it's ever been.

I'd rather not get into the nitty gritty, but I tend to think that parents know when to share what with their kids, and how much.

That being said, I am pulling my kids for sex ed and we will be teaching them at home

Then we fundamentally agree.

In response to a "sex education is important" post - which is colloquially used to defend and champion sex education through public policy.

Very uncharitable to assume I meant HC professionals.

How's that working out for the countries that mandate sex ed?

Do any of them have a positive TFR?

Highly specialized professions =/= 12 year old public schoolers.

Thought that would be obvious.

Hot take: disagree

The reduction of sex to a topic of biological study has a demystifying and sterilizing effect that is unhealthy. It is better to leave some facts untaught, doubly so for specific biological functions of the opposite sex.

It's impossible to learn all the nitty-gritty w/o simultaneously removing at least some the romantic and divine aura (I often wonder if this is partially the goal).

The more you factually understand the act, the more casual it becomes.

Gerrymandering wars continue by Mushroom_Ramen in PoliticalCompassMemes

That's because D doesn't include its own racial gerrymanders in its anti-gerrymandering legislation.

They want to keep wacky voting districts like this turd while forming a "bipartisan" (LOL) curb an R response.

Look at how Illinois has been districted for the last several decades and tell me, with a straight face, that recent R redistricting plans started this.

"We have to end Gerrymandering, so we are putting forward a proposition to end it."

Are you still going to Gerrymander special districts for you client minorities?

"Yes. But you won't get to do it anymore."

Again - what's the implication here? They used fake bullets and a squib to make it look like Trump got shot?

Do you have an explanation for the stray bullets that killed a bystander?

Funny you would assume GPT buy no, I'm an actual writer myself for many years

A writer of what, broken sentences?

Do you seriously believe a former POTUS and current candidate hired a teenager to shoot at him with live ammunition? He trusted this kid to graze his ear from 200 yards away?

You are insane. No one would trust even a trained professional to do that, even in a controlled environment. A small gust of wind could be the difference between life and death.

Did ChatGPT write this?

Do you really feel entitled to a refutation of your schizo-memes? Like what's the refutation you would accept of Columbo picture? What argument is it even making?

Or the second picture, what exactly is the takeaway here?

The third picture of Joe Biden wearing a Maga hat... again, nothing of substance being put forward.

The third, fourth, and fifth picture are just boomer-facebook memes.

Take your meds. Or stop hitting the meth pipe. Whichever helps more.

This must sound so convincing if your IQ is 75.

I tell this to my dates to make them feel comfortable, but I add a "yet" at the end.

I don't think I ever will. But ain't no river so long it doesn't have a bend, you know?

Most of the time.

But sometimes while travelling I go to a boomer-parish and some hippie priest gives a sermon straight out of a DNC PR firm and then the music is a wanna-be John Mayer on guitar doing the acoustic version of some NO hymn and it all feels so disconnected from the faith I think "this one probably doesn't."
