    It wasn’t the comment that lacked nuance; just your reading.

    All the stuff you added went without saying.

      Parents jobs arent to protect their kids.

      What the fuck else does that mean? If you want to believe you can read minds and assume what a person is talking about, whatever.

      But if someone makes a statement, maybe take it at face value rather than “ah yes they must mean something else”

      fucking idiot

        I’m pretty autistic, so you’re not allowed to write this off as “people using magic communication I can’t understand because I’m smart” or whatever your model of the current situation is.

        When a person says it is not a parent’s job to protect their kids, you already know what it means. It’s right there in your three bullet point.

        • dont get into strangers cars
        • dont let strangers into the house
        • look both ways when crossing the road

        If a parent’s job were protecting their kids, these would read:

        • Don’t let your kids near roads or cars
        • Don’t give your kids control over the door
        • Don’t let your kids cross roads

        Like, if I was given care of a dog for a week while their owners went on vacation, and my job were to “protect the dog”, I wouldn’t be putting the dog in any of the situations where its own choices were the source of its safety.

        Are you ready to stop pretending that you don’t see?
