The Idiocy that I see on Facebook
I went on Facebook this evening (I can't help it - I'm a wee bit addicted to reading my newfeed 12 times a day).
Most of my Facebook friends are not idiots. Even the ones who I may consider to be "below average" aren't even bad and I don't care enough to judge anyways. And the people who are bad, well, I just "unfollow" them so that they don't show up on my newsfeed but they don't get upset that I unfriended them. Everyone's happy.
I see idiocy on Facebook from strangers. I see this whenever one of my Facebook friends comments or likes some outrageously popular post, and then I decide to read the comments.
This is the glorious post that appeared on my newsfeed today. Censored because I don't want this blog to get deleted in case this breaks any rules.
Over 1000 comments? Dang. Why people are arguing about this seems ridiculous to me, but you know, telling kids the truth about our bodies is a pretty heavy controversy still. Not that I think everyone should buy this doll, but I don't see it hurting anybody, either.
I had a look at the comments. Most of them were meh, normal. Most of them sane, whether I agreed or disagreed with them.
Then I read this one.
Yeah!! Why would a little girl need to know about the differences between boys and girls!! Telling them otherwise deprives them of their innocence, which leads to teen pregnancy!!

Wait.
I think they have a meme for this.
So there you have it, folks. The solution to the teen pregnancy crisis. Don't let girls know what boys' genitals look like until marriage. I can't believe that no one had thought of that before!
[Footnote: I am a woman who grew up with 5 brothers and no sisters. I took baths with one or both of my younger brothers regularly, plus there was a fair bit of running around the house naked. As a result, I think that being familiar with different body parts on males and females is healthy and can help lead to being confident with your body and your sexuality as an adult. Also, I did not have sex until I got married to my husband almost 10 months ago, and I am not yet pregnant. Also, I'm 25, not a teen.]
