Ultimate Grooming

The ultimate form of grooming is CONservative grooming of children into roles where men are dominant and women are subservient. It is especially rampant in christian CONservative families.

The traditional roles allow (these days) women to work until they get pregnant, but careers are frowned upon. Men rule the household and their word is law. Women must obey men.

By reinforcing traditional stereotypes, powerful men "grab pussies" and get away with it. Women are not believed and inhibit themselves from speaking up and speaking out.

Things like enhanced sex education in schools with discussion of important issues like Me-Too and abortion and respect are a way to counteract CON grooming of children. (Florida, anyone?) Providing safe spaces for kids and flooding them with rights-affirming education is important. There are other things to be done and perhaps posters here will suggest some.

"Parental rights" is a CON codeword for grooming, just like "States Rights" is a codeword for white supremacy and has been for 200 years.

This Ultimate Grooming is oppression and a waste of human potential. It must stop.
