One comment I found somewhat amusing was one of my Iranian friends (Muslim) explaining that birth control is encouraged in some Muslim schools of thought not so much because it is healthier for the woman, but because it helps the woman keep her appearance which pleases the man (sorry ladies, sometimes you just can not win). Anyway, the purpose of the post, I would caution against using words like cult, facist etc so easily.

Really interesting documentary/interview about the Duggar family and the IBLP (Institute of Basic Life Principals). It's on Amazon Prime, split into four episodes since it's over 2 hours long total.

It really does explain a WHOLE lot about some of the attitudes of intolerance that have gotten worse over the past 15-20 years in this country.

I need to say that I am confused to hear people say how loud, angry, violent, Matt Walsh is. If anyone has seen "What Is A Woman" (Free on Twitter now), he is nothing but polite and respectful. The people he is speaking with get angry, loud, disrespectful. I spend time trying to understand the divide in our country. If people can watch "What Is A Woman" and leave thinking Mr. Walsh was the aggressive disrespectful one, I may as well stop trying to find common ground. It is sad how people, if you respectfully disagree with what they say, get aggressive, walk out of even scream calling you fascist yada yada yada.

Hmmm... I seem to remember that poster commenting that, "If it doesn't affect you, why should you care?" in response to others complaining about things...

I guess that only works for other people...

I've watched 2-3 documentaries on The Villages that are very slanted and forwarded an agenda...why would this documentary be any different?

I never saw Mr. Walsh get angry and yell. Actually all I have seen is the opposite. People screaming at him when he tries to talk with them. Have you watched "What is a Woman". It makes sense and follows logic. As for his book, it does deal with trans issues. He feels children should not have their bodies mutilated when they are far too young to be having such procedures done. When I was a child I thought I was a fire engine. I believe most of the pushback many "progressive" ideals face today is the result of extremes pushing too far. When I practiced (I switched to banking and finance after a few years) we had the DSM2. People who had a type of body dysmorphia were treated as someone having a psychological disorder. Over the years transgender became more common. It was not until it was introduced to children that there was a major pushback. Re Mr. Walsh, his book Johnny The Walrus is written to explain those on the flip side of transgenderism. The side that is against pushing it on children. If you read his book , it does follow a logical train of thought. Speaking as someone who was educated many years ago, I see a similarity between cutting off a 14 year olds breasts and cutting off the arm of someone who would come to me and say they hate their arm. They should not have it. It is not who they are. IMO playing along with someone's psychosis is not helpful to the individual. We are feeding into their delusion. Again, in my view LGBTQIA+ should have stopped at LGB.
