    agreed. but if some culture says you have no choice but to do something that another gender doesn’t and it becomes normalized to you to not have that choice, isn’t that at least worthy of a reconsideration once you leave that culture?

    in a simpler abstraction, if a person grows up in a cult where it’s entirely normal and okay to them to obviously and regularly give up their power to another type of person in that culture to make a decision, would you consider casually talking to them about it, from a place of love and concern?

      Yes, always question what you were taught. But it’s up to the individual to do that at their own pace.

      It’s the same with religion. I expect everyone to question the one they were indoctrinated into, and I personally think everyone should leave, but everyone goes at their own pace.

        Okay, that does make sense, I understand. I appreciate you for answering my honest question and not judging me for asking it in a way that may have seemed ignorant. I wish we could have more honest, unassuming political discussions like this these days.
