Never heard of Brother Nature (because I am an Old), but this is Reason 4,009,736 that I am glad social media wasn’t around when I was a youth.

It’s a relief to see someone else say what I was thinking. Phew. This old lady was all: OMG the youth of today doesn’t know that toddlers are happy to play with ANYTHING including the hair in your hairbrush and the poop in the cat litter box!?
They can never say they don’t know exactly what they’re getting into - or staying in.
Daughter of a dental hygienist and a dentist (okay, that was probably a fairly predictable meet-cute), 7th Day Adventists who worked during her childhood as missionaries in Africa & Asia (while performing dental services), who worked for the Bush admin (from Wikipedia, not The Atlantic, which - hey - thanks for…

The truth isn’t always delivered in the form most palatable to each and every individual. That doesn’t mean it’s not worth hearing.
When do we stop calling organizations like the Federalist Society and the Heritage Foundation ‘think tanks’ and call them what they really are: Centers to dismantle progressive, democratic advances made over the 20th in favor of predatory capitalism and reactionary (racist, sexist) social mores.
With all your comments and focus on the language rather than the message, it feels like you are willfully missing the point of the article by diverting the entire discussion to one of manners and language rather than message. That, even with all the responses, you insist on articles being framed so that they don’t…
First, I wasn’t the one using language you find offensive.
It says so much about our cultures and judgemental attitudes towards girls and women that studies looking at correlations between preventative medicine and sexual activity were even carried out in more than one country.
We took a while to decide to get this vaccine - not because of any worries about sexual activity,…
If this is your reaction to the story, then it was absolutely meant for you.
Fine to disagree with her, but to call someone who wrote seven volumes of books on how to combat authoritarianism, a single working mother who became a billionaire and then used her money to tackle homelessness, promote education and family health to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars (closing in on half a…
I’m not going to argue whether ‘rant’ is the best term for this 1100-word take-down. As for ‘well-written,’ I can agree that a lot of five-dollar words and phrases are used, some of them correctly.
