Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

Society to a large extent still treats children as property.
Its weird as shit too. All kinds of kid maintenance people get really weirded out when you come in with informed kids who know exactly what the procedure is, what goes on, and has their own questions about it appropriate for a 5 year old.
They expect you lie to your children, about anything that might be unpleasant and just let it be a traumatic surprise ( this is what my parents did )
This is true. I personally am without kids, but I know a few lefty parents who won't put their kids on social media as they haven't given an adult consent yet. I think this is the way to be.
There's a good Moral Maze episode about this.
