Nerfed = they censored their own propaganda.

That's something.

The culture of "nudging" with government power and gone full steam ahead.

Anyway, I still think about this snippet of an interview I watched that goes how therapy for men needs to be different for therapy for women.

Like you pointed out, Pathways seems in every way to be a proof of his points.

(also mary poppins was screenwashing! lol)

Mr Banks was definitely a bumbling father.

What's funny is his wife is really bumbling too, but because we think of suffragettes is good, she comes over better.

But if you think of suffragettes as against the desires of the women at the time, she is a lot more bumbly.

It's funny to think that the very same actions would be looked at very differently by a different culture

But that's a really interesting point, about how the otherwise good movies of that period nerfed fathers, and put across a couple other ideas, too, and at first, fathers were so well established that it just seemed funny. Like taking something powerful and and making it look kind of cute.

But it's kind of odd to look back before that and how families were viewed and realize how different it was.

Yeah. It's why the boiling frog may not be technically accurate, it remains a very apt fable because we notice it often.

It's like that meme about John Cleese and monty python.

Not sure what John Cleese meme you mean.

Have you seen how based he has gotten?
