All of those examples are cases of the hearer being insufficiently intelligent, insufficiently sane, or insufficiently mentally developed, and thus not equipped to hear truth-statements without taking unreasonable offense. Into which of those categories do you think the women on LW fall...?
Back at the top of this thread, what is discussed is “A father tells his daughter X. Some here may find that objectionable.”—what would be obejctionable wouldn’t be X, but the fact that a father tells his daughter X.
Daenerys’s examples are analogous to X—things that may not be particularly offensive as truth statements, but that one still may not want to tell small children.
(I think in this subthread some don’t pay enough attention to the differences between “what’s okay for discussion on LW” and “what’s okay for a father-daughter discussion”)
Hmmm, a fair point. I took the people objecting to said statement as saying that it’s offensive/objectionable in general, or offensive/objectionable to them specifically, rather than saying “maybe so, but perhaps not something you should say to your kid”. If my interpretation was incorrent, I apologize.
