You see, we live in a very interesting world, nowadays. It’s a world where children can easily access X-rated material on their handheld mobile device, where 5-year-olds can choose their gender apart from the one their genitals imply, and kids may be forced to use the restroom with older classmates of the opposite sex. But stay away from Red Dye No. 40! It’s a world where pronouns such as him or her can be deemed utterly offensive or dressing your daughter in pink is considered child abuse, but dressing them scantily with their bottom buttocks showing while twerking for a YouTube video you’re posting publicly is not. Really, it’s cute, and it will probably go viral.
We currently exist in a society where it’s cruel and unusual punishment to spank your child, but spanking via an S&M fantasy franchise like Fifty Shades is the best thing since sliced bread! You can’t discipline or correct a child because you may hurt their feelings, but you are free to murder your child while they still reside in your womb because the heart beating in there can be broken, just don’t break the one of the child who doesn’t finish first in tee ball. We’ll give them all a participation trophy instead. And while we’re at it we’ll give accolades to the lady with the sixteenth abortion. I don’t want her to feel bad for making a choice for her own body.
Because you see, it’s all about choice. You can choose to end the life of an unborn child, and you can choose to sit down during a national anthem. You can choose to break windows and set fires to other people’s property when you think life is unfair. You can choose to disobey police and resist arrest, and you can choose to become outraged at the consequences of your own actions. You can choose to become offended by things that further your agenda. You can call an almost 75-year-old Christmas song offensive and indicative of a culture that accepts rape, and then you can choose to award and celebrate celebrities who earn millions off lyrics that leave no room for question that they are demeaning to women and in favor of sexualizing and objectifying them. You can choose to do this. Does it make any sense? No, of course not! But it is your choice.
Will this be a popular post? Likely not. It will be highly offensive to some of you, and you will have the choice to be angry about it. You will have the choice to blame the current president, blame religion, or even blame it on bad parenting. We all have a choice. Sadly we live in a world where you can have your cake and eat it too. You can be indignant of some things, but not others. You can be angry at some opinions, but not all. You can be totally offended by “Baby, It’s Cold Outside” while jamming out to your own personal copy of Jay-Z, “Big Pimpin’ “, or “Slob on My Knob” by Three 6 Mafia. Makes perfect sense.
