What the actual fuck was that shit about BDSM???? That shit shouldn't be taught about in any classroom for fucks sake

There are groups out there that actively work to teach BDSM to children and teenagers. Planned Parenthood is one of them.

This was part of an expose some conservative group did on Planned Parenthood. Apparently, they found a lot more besides this. They were also promoting kink directly to underage teens. Unfortunately, it seems like this only got traction with anti-abortion groups. Planned Parenthood erased much of their BDSM content after this expose, but some of it is still there. This event was advertised to youth educators, especially middle school and high school teachers. Why in God's name would they hold an event like this with "a specific focus on teenagers?" It doesn't seem like any feminists called out Planned Parenthood for their actions in this case. This was back in 2014, but I can only find conservative sites talking about it, no feminist ones.

What I don't understand is why the need to teach about fucking BDSM on schools, it makes no sense. Do people get murdered because they like to engage on it or something?

Where's the emergency?

I think it's just part and parcel of their overall ideology. They need kids to accept it before they develop critical thinking skills.

After all, in some areas, SWERFs are considered just as bad as TERFs.

It seems like caving and coddling to me. Like "hey, we know you can't be bothered to keep your kids off porn, and we can't talk to them about it directly because religious sex-is-evil fundies and secular ""sex positive"" fundies will gang up on us from different sides, so here's a half-assed course on how to safely choke someone out."
