What do I do?

I knew we had very different views, and I have cowardly not addressed it. My daughter is very much influenced by them, and calls me a white feminist, but I am white and I am a feminist I don't understand the slur you intend knows I have GC views.

We skate around the subject in real life, and my attitude to most things on FB is don't engage, never engage, social media is a blunt instrument, but I've had some 🍷, and I just don't want to let it go.

Wise women of FWR, what should I say?

How can you debate with people who refuse to debate?

What are they so afraid of?

TrumpsToddlerTantrums maybe except that you are going to be seen a certain way by some family members for the views you hold that are diffent to there's, you could debate your views but if they don't share the same views as you then you maybe seen in that light by them.

I love the idea of being a heretic.

Straight out of The Crucible.

‘There’s definitely a civil debate to be had here and both sides deserve a voice’

Prepare to be accused of heresy though and unfriended!

"We must dissent" ? Anyone who calls for no debate is calling for totalitarian dictatorships?
