    Or, to put it in other words, all you can offer is more rumormongering and fearmongering bullshit that isn't even correct about what actually happened: a single teacher once accidentally showed the wrong version of the educational film The Mask You Live In [1] to 12-year-olds in 2019, which accidentally exposed to them to a few more minutes of knowing that blurred-out pornography exists, and a single parent complained, and then nobody else but the right wing hate-o-sphere ever cared again.

    "'being a man' very much means being strong, independent, self-reliant and unassailable"

    So you are only a man if you fit this very specific characteristics?

    I really recommend you watch this documentary: http://therepresentationproject.org/films/the-mask-you-live-in/
