Smirking_Serpent posted:I introduced myself to the bus driver and asked that he keep the bus as quiet as possible Probably one of the most unreasonable expectations in the entire thread tbh. Hey public school bus driver, just keep this bus full of 14 year olds that you have zero direct control over quiet while you're trying to drive.

My favorite line from Pick that shows how out of touch she is with reality is when she said a person wasn't really wealthy if their net worth wasn't over 30 million.

Respectability politics only works in very specific circumstances and never on its own, because the overclass just uses it to make excuses for hating you when you inevitably display the slightest negativity no matter how justified or just relax and act like a human being for two seconds.

Pride parades are the most concentrated public expressions of degenerate sexuality, like age gaps and dog play, and people with traditional values view them accordingly. Whether that's fair depends on your point of view. I think it's unfair to homo attracted persons who don't make poly pee bath bombs but I guess people are going to ride freedom to the line

Pick posted:And I'm saying that the onus is essentially on them, and that it isn't fair, but what's is essence media messaging/ advertising does not maintain the standard of being fair. Look, it's like there's no way to 'be a woman' that will satisfy misogynists. You're either frigid or whorish or shrill or boring or whatever. If you like to cook you reinforce that women should get in the kitchen, if you're smart you're stuck-up, if you care about clothes you're shallow, if you don't you're a slob. I don't think the pressures on POC are any less arbitrary and contradictory. If there's nothing I can do that isn't going to hit some bad stereotype about women, much less lesbians, then why should I bother bending over backwards to fit someone else's narratives?

Yeah, and I think that if the regular bus can't be made to work, the district is required to provide alternate transportation.

the respectability argument doesn't really make any sense in the era of sanitized corporate pride because the public face of pride is so tame that anyone really offended by it is not really going to come around on the whole not stoning homos to death thing but it also doesn't make any sense in the original context of pride because things were so bad in those days that trying to live a life of quiet respectability wasn't an option in the first place. maybe there was some point in the mid-90s where there was some nugget of sense to it? that would be pretty on-brand for pick's posting, anyhow

AITA for not allowing daughter (17F) to attend parties? My daughter (17) is going into her senior year of high school and we live in a rural area with admittedly not a lot for a teen to do. It is very common for her friends and classmates to have bonfires and other house parties on weekends and sometimes even weeknights. I have never allowed her to attend them because I know there are drugs and alcohol being passed around. I’m not sure what gave her this idea, but she had gotten it in her head that things would change for her senior year. I have certainly never given her this impression. She is under the legal drinking age and I do not want her to get arrested and ruin her life over a bonfire. She claims she is the only one of her friends, and one of her only classmates, that never attends these “events” and I am “alienating” her by not allowing her to go. She says most conversations revolve around these parties and she feels she has nothing to add. My husband (and her father) says he sees both sides equally and is having a hard time deciding his opinion. He says of course he recognizes that it’s not legal for these kids to be drinking, but most of us went to these parties growing up, and it’s a “rite of passage” of sorts for a teenager. I decided to entertain the idea of allowing her to go to one bonfire at her best friend’s house this weekend, whose mother I know well. I asked my daughter if she planned to drink alcohol at the party, and she told me, “I won’t lie, I might have one beer, but I would spend the night at her house if I do.” So I told her she absolutely would not be going. My husband now feels like I am “punishing her” for being honest. I feel that I am protecting my daughter from ruining her life by being arrested for underage drinking. So, Reddit, AITA? EDIT: okay, I see at the very least I am TA for asking her about drinking and deciding against the party. I will give her my “blessing” to attend this party, but I will still be asking her not to drink. EDIT 2: I promise I am not that horribly strict! She is involved in extracurriculars, she has many friends that are always allowed in our home and she can go to theirs, and I’m not even against alcohol! We have brought her and friends on vacations where they could legally drink, they certainly did, and we all had a great time. I just want her to follow the law while she lives in my home.
