Brute Reason

A collection of thoughts about psychology, social justice, and anything else I give a shit about.

If kids are taught shame and embarrassment about what’s essentially a normal part of development, who knows what the repercussions might be. And if a child becomes deeply afraid to talk about these things with trusted adults, who knows what else they won’t feel comfortable sharing? Kids need to feel there’s an environment of love and communication, not shame, so they can talk openly about other “weird” body stuff — think periods and sex — down the road, if they want to. Also, so they’re not scared to speak honestly if they’re ever put in situations where they’re being violated or taken advantage of. Because that’s the truly awful stuff, and significantly more shocking, angering, and disgusting than any typical childhood development.
