It doesn't work selectively, if society can shame you into not taking drugs it will do so everything else non-confirming.
In my society not valuing individual freedom girls have/had been shamed into not wearing jeans/skirts, going out for night movie show or even cutting hairs.
- nonethewiser 3y agoFirst, you are conflating being ashamed with people shaming them thers. Second, it doesnt follow that shaming 1 thing means shaming everything. And surely you can recognize that there exist some things that people should be ashamed of?
- tehbeard 3y agoAnd surely you can recognise that others can have a very different view of what's shameful, that's at odds with your own rosey view of it as a tool against self destructive behaviour? Various religions and political groups have used and continue to use shame against the lgbt community, using monikers like sinful or perverse to shame them for who they are by grading them against some flawed ideal that they themselves often fail to attain.

- denkmoon 3y agoPlease head over to X and observe the homophobic tweets.
- cat_plus_plus 3y agoAre you fine with both these tweets and people smoking fentanyl in public, or can social pressure do some good in both cases?
- p91paul 3y agoIn your society girls go around in underwear? nice! Sorry, I really had to :)
