Lauren Southern: The war on traditional values has created a lost, angry, confused generation

This is from February, and hasn't improved with age.

For example, Southern fails to grasp that as we learn more about human sexuality, yeah, the right thing to do is to update the way we view it.

When we were hunter-gatherers, or early farmers, we didn't know about genetics. And it was very important to reproduce, a lot, because most of the kids were going to die young.

Today, we don't need reproduction as much (and it's putting our population in danger) so we can spend more time addressing the needs of non-reproductive or less-reproductive people. And we know far more about how we become who we are, from the genetics in our chromosomes, to the environment in the womb, to how we express our inner selves.

But it's still only scratching the surface, because a lot of people REALLY don't want us to find out. They prefer we fund garbage like homeopathy and smudging and "laying on" hands, so people can feel good about their mystical bullshit. You can actually get university degrees in this crap, not for learning ABOUT why it is crap, but for actually practising it as a career. It's shocking.

But sexuality, from a scientific perspective? That's forbidden. So it goes to the other side, full of gender studies robots, and feminist fools, so they can tell us how everyone just invents whatever society tells them to be.

There are no signs on anything biological that say "this is male" and "this is female". There are just individuals, who are expressing some of their genes, and that leads some to reproduce. Humans like to label things, so we put label "female" on the roughly half who seem like they could get pregnant at some point in their lives, and "male" on the roughly half who look like they can't. But that doesn't include everyone, whether you're looking at genes, chromosomes, hormones, anatomy, behavior, or self-concept. So it is manifestly stupid to try to cram everyone into only two groups.

Having finally wiggled free of these shackles, of course people are fumbling around trying to find the best-fit terms for people who don't neatly fit into male or female categories. Why would anyone expect we'd get this "right" the first time? This isn't a sign of no identity. It a sign of creating it.

(That said, I agree that the phrase "I identify as" is annoying and counterproductive. People should be confident enough to just "be".)

As for the nuclear family, while it does have its good points, true family values come from the extended family living together or in close proximity. There ought to be interaction, on daily basis, between the older generations and the younger, not just whenever they can afford a plane ticket. (This would also help with single parents).
