  > has concerned voluntary non-conformity with gender roles, especially in front of children Glorifying gun violence in front of children and making children follow active shooter drills seems curiously fine with you > Why is society obliged to tolerate that? Why is society obligated to tolerate right-wingers throwing a fit and causing moral panic about every minor progressive issue? Why is society obligated to tolerate the alleged "christian morality" (which is anything but) being pushed by right wingers?

    > Glorifying gun violence in front of children and making children follow active shooter drills seems curiously fine with you Banning violent performances in public libraries is fine with me. > Why is society obligated to tolerate right-wingers throwing a fit and causing moral panic about every minor progressive issue? What state institutions sanction with their imprimatur of authority to children is no minor issue. > Why is society obligated to tolerate the alleged "christian morality" (which is anything but) being pushed by right wingers? To be clear, it’s not limited to “Christians” or “right-wingers.” Public institutions sanctioning flagrant violation of that society’s gender norms would be extremely controversial in most of the world. In fact, of the 7 billion people in the world, the people who think drag shows in libraries are mostly in Christian or formerly Christian countries.

  > I suspect a history book will show me that nearly every society in history, Don't suspect, read a book (unless your local library has been burnt to the ground or blown up by hyper ventilating pearl clutchers). You do realise (I hope) that significant chunks of western theatre history (ie. popular entertainmant, including for children) has been rife with men in drag playing the part of ladies? Quick, go check your history books, subsection theatre. While you're there look up Onnagata in Kubuki theatre in Japan for a bit of Eastern cultural history .. and for goodness sake don't look up Bugis culture in Sulawesi as they've recognised five genders for centuries. You have some pretty blinkered preconceptions. Home school?

    Do either of those examples convey to kids that it’s okay for them to transgress social expectations and norms? Or are they practical responses to exclusion of women from theater professions? > You have some pretty blinkered preconceptions. Home school. Nope, just a normal person (very liberal by global standards).
