You’re severely misconstruing two things.
I don’t know dude, you’re saying it’s ok with sniffing little girls hair. Justify it by saying it’s to save a life.
I’m not.
Guess I was wrong to say the rest of the members would agree here, we wouldn’t be doing that to little girls that are just acquaintances.
I welcome the challenge, btw. And this is not an attempted flame-out on you.
My issue is the implication is that sniffing a girl's hair = Pizzagate
I don't mean to sound patronizing about this, but I find it sad that so many people never experienced an elderly person in their life who hung out with a girl before. And what do old people do when hanging out with young children at an event? They hold out fingers, they pull noses, they sniff hair, they pat heads.
Some of that is perhaps socially outdated for what was acceptable 60 years ago. But why? What is so horrific about it?
Yes, in our modern era where every stranger wants to get into your underpants, you should never leave your home basement and only play video games. But this attitude is not only overreaction and completely enfeebling for a child. It's also destroying the emotional well-being of young people.
I also know that not everyone treats physical contact the same. I've shared hugs with former coworkers at a party once where everyone (almost) was encouraging it. And then I made the mistake of not wanting to leaving someone towards the back who I mistakenly found wanted to be completely left out. OK, lesson learned. But it wasn't assault. It wasn't malicious. I learned my lesson once, as I had no idea of her history. But that doesn't mean I am going to treat everyone as a leper now because I made that one mistake.
This militancy around sniffing a girl's hair just strikes me as intolerant (and dare I say "woke") as these same people accuse universities of being for not inviting controversial speakers or for requiring safe spaces. What happened to the rejection of hypersensitive snowflakes?
I honestly don't understand it. It makes me wonder what horrible, closeted, affection-deprived life these people think is reasonable. These people should not be having children in my mind. They're dangerous and would be raising school shooters.
