Parental controls only work imperfectly, on my child's own devices, and of course there are her peers who are not subject to my parental controls. My task would be a lot easier if these things were prohibited.
My challenge (with regard to what we're talking about here) would be much more direct if I had a son, who I really didn't want to grow up thinking that toxic masculinity is ok.
It's difficult. But I'm still inclined to think that people should be free to offer their services in these environments, and not be nannied by people who disapprove. Even though I do disapprove, and wish that the men would grow up and no longer be in the market for these things.
I should have been more precise with my words, like "allow" for example, but are the toxic men who ought to be told by their peers they are not cool being nannied? I do not think so. They are being told .. what you are doing is not cool.
You are tolerating toxic masculinity and it is not cool. How is this statement problematic is beyond me.
