Well, I think that the problem here is that when we speak of a subject like "indoctrination' which we all agree is wrong, there's a hidden implication that indoctrination actually happens.

In the Modern Western world, this hidden implication is that homosexual parenting and homosexuality in public is tantamount to "indoctrination", which isn't actually the case.


I agree, to the contrary, the numerous incidents of """"Straight""""" pastors and such going gay heavily suggests that indoctrination into straightness happens, particularly in religious communities.

I don't know of any message that insists people must be gay or bisexual lest they be terrible people.

Except perhaps Tumblr.

There is an out of control trolley speeding towards Jeremy Bentham, who is tied to the track. You can pull the lever to cause the trolley to switch tracks, but on the other track is Immanuel Kant. Bentham is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Critique of Pure Reason. Kant is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Principles of Moral Legislation. Both men are shouting at you that they have recently started to reconsider their ethical stances.

I think on Tumblr, what really happens is that kids who are usually on the lower end of the teenage spectrum find a safe place to vent a feeling that they would dismiss as irrational once they've calmed down, and then straight people get all up in arms about it, and then others come to the venting persons defense, and get tired of being emotionally shut down.

It's very much a hot-blooded emotional thing, not an actual ideology that gay/bi people on tumblr hold.

Believe me, you wouldn't be the first.

Honestly "anti-feminists" outnumber radfems at this point. The only successful anti-feminists blogs are the ones that go out of their way to find feminists or other oppressed people with like 30 followers making bad posts, and then blow them out of proportion.

Ironically, what ends up happening is that anti-feminists give radfems a much larger audience than they would otherwise have.

I know Lil Bub, when I was a young teen and going trough my radical gay activist phase, I hated straight people. If Tumblr was around then, I would join.

I used to be a bit more firebrand than I am now (which is odd considering how paranoid I was and, to a somewhat lesser extent, still am about being outed), but at no point did I ever hate like Tumblr does.

Yeah, I grew up hearing gay people were the worst, them and the Muslims. And I was ignorant about a lot of things back then.

I expect there are parents who will exert pressure on their kids - either a little or a lot - to express some particular sexuality, including (now that it is sufficiently mainstream in some communities) homosexuality. Remember the flap over this article? We had a long and contentious thread about it.

Well, the only reason you are right is that your post was requiredn Sadly for you and the thread's overall quality, this is also what makes you wrong.

Uh, could you say that again?
Next time, try Hirota's less "point scoring" approach

No. You seriously think I'm going to change the way I post just because you're upset?
even if it means you don't get to make a condescending and snappy reply

Look at the pot calling the kettle black. Your reply to mine may not be snappy, but you're quite condescending.
because, hey, that is a style of response which won't create the mountain you did.

It was hardly a mountain. It involved two other posters, and the thread is back on track anyways, so calm down.
And here I am making said mountain higher in hope that next time the mature methods of Hirota are followed.

Again, condescending. You're not going to convince me to change the way I post with that tone. I haven't seen Hirota complaining about it, so none of this really matters anyway.
I TRY TO KEEP MY WILD ASSERTIONS, AND I WILL DO MY BEST TO HOLD OFF POSTING WITH THIS NATION UNTIL 2016

what would you say causes this kind of thing to be brushed under the rug? Male ego or gynocentrism? Granted you could say they're both related, but I think the male ego can be largely independent of female wants and needs in such cases.

It doesn't even list the jobs that the women work in, so it could be anything.
Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.
The probability of one's participation in homosexual acts is directly proportional to one's public disdain and disgust for homosexuals.
If a political figure makes an accusation of wrongdoing without evidence, odds are probable that the accuser or an associate thereof has in fact committed the very same act, possibly to a worse degree.

Given that, until now, employment to population ratios have been higher among men in virtually every country, this was worth bringing up. In the US, 65.4% of men aged 16 and over are employed, and among women aged 16 and over just 53.7% are in employment.

It's an interesting assortment of countries. There is one sort of natural "group" of adjacent states - the Baltic states and Belarus:
Lithuania, Latvia, Belarus, Estonia, and Finland
Then a scattering of tiny "resort" islands with tourism based economies:
Guadeloupe, the Bahamas, Seychelles, Barbados, Antigua and Barbados, Martinique
Then you have a pretty miscellaneous collection of other countries - three are island countries, actually, so there is a bit of an island pattern going on here:
Cyprus, Iceland, Ireland, Israel, Moldova(!), and Kazakhstan(!)

Kazakhstan is pretty completely unexpected from my perspective. Moldova is very small and highly disrupted, and Israel is a bit of an odd duck as countries go. Figure that they're on the list for idiosyncratic factors very particular to them, and you have a pattern of relatively small island countries & Baltic-area states.

Interestingly - and fitting with the pattern of tourism-dependent islands - labor force participation is pretty close to even among male and female Hawaiians, which is quite different from the national average.
