Not necessarily a bad thing.<br /><br />"Insultainment," like satire, requires the writer throw normal prudence to the wind in order to forward outrageous assertions without worrying much about the reception of these.<br /><br />The assertions in your post are loosely based on things you have read or viewed, and lack direct observations and first-hand interviews, which are needed to support serious claims. Were you a paid investigator, you might get a dressing down from your supervisor.<br /><br />That being said, you could easily crank the rhetoric up a few notches for future posts, and they might be even more fun to read. You could even include observations but make outrageous interpretations of same. More bang for the buck.<br /><br />Regards, from a satisfied customer.

Then goes on to talk about how terrible it is to tell girls they ought to give marriage and motherhood a chance, and how awful that boys are guided away from barbies. As if kids ever hear such messages anymore, at least in public. Even when I was a kid, "mother" was not actually considered a serious option for "what I want to be when I grow up." <br /><br />The worst part is, some of the people most enthusiastically sharing this are parents with babies. All I can figure is, their kids haven't quite reached the age where they can dictate what they want and how they want to play. Hopefully, when they realize little Suzie loves pink and purple unicorn babies more than battle trucks extreme combat in spite of all their efforts, they won't try to change her mind.juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15975754287030568726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-70316191064894184102017-09-04T11:10:25.420-07:002017-09-04T11:10:25.420-07:00In other words, "we have to destroy the natio...In other words, "we have to destroy the nation to save the nation."Gagdad Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00911613613759942690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-58240136105711589932017-09-04T11:09:15.896-07:002017-09-04T11:09:15.896-07:00Related: American ideals vs. left wing ideology. ...Related: <a href="http://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2017/09/can-the-left-do-without-identity-politics.php" rel="nofollow">American ideals vs. left wing ideology</a>.
