Not forcing your daughter or son to go hug someone equates to them eventually being cold, miserable and friendless?
What a jump there.

So progressive feminism took over the Girl Scouts?

This is why I'm glad I'm a part of a handshake family. You get a firm handshake at Christmas. Eye contact is your call.

Not much of a "jump" actually.
The blanks can be filled in by looking at the recent attempted radicalization of the Scouts and Society at large by bitter, angry Feminists.

They aren't being forced to hug strangers, they aren't doing it in some back bedroom....damn, people.....

That’s pretty much exactly why she doesn’t want to hug Uncle Cory.
It's projection. The people who are truly trying to condition them are the people who disseminate this garbage. If that wasn't the case, they'd have included boys in what they claim is a "problem."
Get it now?

There is a large segment of women who identify as Feminist who are the most loathsome, miserable, controlling, idiotic humans to ever slink across the face of the Planet.
Womerns aren't a monolith, some of them are very, very zhitty people and your sarcasm falls short because refuse to acknowledge that fact.

It is a complete jump... telling a child that they do not have to give a hug if they do not want to =/= turning into a cold, heartless person as an adult. What?
You also are imposing whatever this radicalization you are mentioning onto the idea of simply not forcing a kid to give a hug.
I see this happen with parents telling their kids to hug ANYONE who basically does something nice. The distant neighbor gave them a popsicle? Oh go hug them. The friendly man at the grocery gave them a flower? Oh give them a hug!
It a pretty simple idea here, stop telling your kids to go up and hug someone, especially if they say they don't want to or are acting standoffish. At holidays, hugging family is FINE but it's the pushing kids to do it that is the question. Just back off, why does this upset people so much?

You and your ilk are the one who are equating having your child hug aunt Mildred when she gave her $100 to rape and sexual assault.
Posted on 11/13/18 at 2:02 pm to blueboy
Aunt: You lost a tooth, there will be a dollar under your pillow.
Kid: What do you mean I get money when I lose a tooth?
Aunt: Don't you have a fairy Godmother?
Kid: No, but we have an uncle that we wonder about.

This is almost as bad as an OwheelO story.
No one I know is having their kids go hug random strangers.
This is suggesting that parents nudging their children to show affection to family that miss and love them is somehow related to sexual assault.
No one is suggesting that they go join creepy uncle Rodney upstairs alone to “watch movies”, (though why you’d have a family member you don’t trust around young kids is beyond me.)
But teaching them to be affectionate to people, especially family, that are gracious and generous to you isn’t a bad trait. People that aren’t thankful when you are kind to them are kind of a slap in the face. Not that you are doing it for a reward but the niceties of reciprocity are part of a polite society.
These proggies want to break down the societal mores so of course they don’t want people, especially women, appreciative and affectionate towards others that show them acts of generosity and kindness. Because everything comes from government and party, not individuals.

You're right that is somewhat of a crazy jump.

And what you're insinuating here isn't a jump?

You don't have kids so why would you think we want your opinion?

You have no idea who I am
and in fact I do have kids. And yes, I've seen kids be told to go hug strangers.

We're raising an entire Generation of kids that feel like they are owed everything & they have NO idea how to engage in a simple conversation.

My only issue here.. is this idea that if you aren't affectionate then you aren't thankful. Just because a kid doesn't come hug you doesn't mean they aren't thankful.
Why can't saying "thank you so much, this means so much to me and I appreciate this gift" be acceptable?
