OK. So I need to wrap up this post so I can go back to not being viral. I went to the camp and collected her projects this morning and informed them she would not be returning.
First things first. Please don't try and figure out the name of the camp and bother them. When this went viral I was concerned about harassment campaigns. The staff were all respectful even if they didn't watch my daughter to my satisfaction.
Second. My daughter is not traumatized. She doesn't feel like a victim. She is mad at me that I pulled her out today. The first day she was not scared or upset. She was giving me a debrief on her day and let me know about a boy that was stomping on her feet, kicking her, and hitting her butt. Furthermore she was SO EXCITED to tell me how she stood up for herself the second day.
It was a good learning experience for her. I will not always be there to step in and if nobody else is concerned about her safety then she can defend herself with her assertiveness and her jitsu.
I'm not mad at the staff, I'm not mad at the little boy, I'm not really mad at all anymore. I'm sobering up to the reality of the world I live in. This is a learning experience for me as a parent as well.
I try not to be an over protective parent. I try to strike a balance between exposing my children to the outside world and being with us 24/7. Neither me or my wife are working full time at the moment so we're always moving around places as a family unit. We homeschool. We have educated our daughters about strangers and unwanted touching.
I don't always make the perfect decision. I don't always make decisions that make sense to the rest of society. I do what is in my heart and what I feel guided by my God to do. I love my daughters and part of loving them is being honest with them about the world they're growing up in. Part of loving them is giving them the tools to succeed when/if I am no longer around.
In closing, My daughter is no longer in Camp. We won't be doing camps again in the future in California. I am satisfied with the outcome of my decisions. I consider this matter closed and no longer wish to be viral. I asked my small community for a little parenting advice and it went crazy. Now that the influencers are chiming in, I'm out.

Incoming rage post. May delete later. Could use advice from fellow girl dads. My wife homeschools. She does a great job. My girls do extra curricular activities like jiu-jitsu and other fun stuff. Yesterday we dropped my 5 year old daughter off at some summer day camp thing for children. She's going for a few hours every day this week. She came home telling us she had a wonderful time except for one part. Some boy kept following her around, being mean to her, and TOUCHING her butt. She told me she told him to stop and move away from him but he grabbed her and pulled her back and continued to touch her against her will. She told me she could point the boy out and described him as a little boy her size with brown skin. Now I get to deal with the nightmare of many California parents. Some shit culture that doesn't respect women has invaded the area I reside in and has now affected my daughters life. This is how I've chosen to handle it today. In about 2 hours I'm dropping her off again. We will be informing the adult staff about yesterday's incident. I told my daughter that telling the adults PROBABLY won't fix the situation. I know the kind of adults that pervades California. Weak ineffectual pathetic bottom feeders who are more concerned about social correctness than my daughters safety. I told my daughter if that boy touches her again today after we've let the adults know that she has my permission and every right to break that little boy's arm. Keylock, kimura, arm bar. Her choice. This seemed to calm all her little fears. Shes trained for this. I'm raising my daughters to fix their own problems, not be victims. If this is the first arm she collects, so be it.

@TimSweeneyEpic The offer to go on camera to discuss your seemingly genuinely held beliefs remains. I know the Town revoked your zoning and everything, but surely the current office would suffice if Epic's $100 million pit of gravel and needles in the center of town isn't a suitable backdrop.

This is the beginning of the end of the AI luddite movement and it’s long overdue. AI is a generational productivity tool for all fields, and companies whose decisions get co-opted by AI haters will become entirely unviable as competition whizzes by with better products.

Women often boast about maturing faster than men. Yes, they may mature to the level of a 15-year-old more quickly, but they never seem to mature beyond that.
Notice how calling an adult man a ‘boy’ is seen as an insult, but calling an adult woman a ‘girl’ is often seen as a compliment?”
heard historically women were classified as
minors and were often compared to children. That is why they were grouped with children during disasters or
emergencies….because they were seen as unreliable under pressure and more likely to react emotionally by crying or complaining rather than thinking logically.
I used to think men who said these things were simply misogynistic, but after engaging with women for years…especially in debates…I began to notice a pattern from
Both older and younger women often think emotionally, disregard facts, avoid accountability, avoid guilt and react defensively when confronted, crying or deflecting like children instead of reasoning clearly.
They can’t even stick to one topic without drifting into different topics and try to shame you.
This isn’t meant to insult or shade women, but I find it strange when an adult woman cannot think logically or take accountability. If you are clearly wrong, simply admit it.
That behavior seems odd to me. Even when they earn their own money, many still expect men to care for them, as if they were children.

What opinion about women do you have that makes people feel like this?

@OMGTheMess C02 is plant food and makes up 0.04% of the atmosphere. A single volcano when it erupts produces around 300 years worth of human industry C02 and on average there are 60 eruptions around the world per year. It's all lies!

I care about the environment
Our rivers and seas, erosion
But
If we shut down our steel industry
Export it to China, where it’s made poorly
under less stringent conditions
Then import it over thousands of sea miles
Are we really saving CO2?

@aovees @BrodieOnLinux Most laptops nowadays don't have a CMOS battery. They are powered exclusively by the battery, and even if you disconnect the battery and do the equivalent of a CMOS reset following manufacturers instructions, the BIOS password lock won't be removed because its stored in EEPROM
English
Cashies sold me a fucking BIOS locked laptop, I don't even know why they had this thing. It's old, there's a tool to crack the BIOS password on this thing, but they're stupid
English
@ChiefEngineerCE "why didn't you?" is the equivalent of "why did you not?" not "why did not you?"
English
Okay English grammar specialists.
Here is weird one that came to me the other day.
Is it proper to say 'Why did not you?'
Okay...
Is it proper to say 'Why didn't you?'
See? It is so awkward.

Don’t get pissed at me for what I’m about to say. But sometimes I think my son might be dumb as shit. Who cuts a lawn and goes up and down a hill. I’ve told him for years that you go side to side. Just proves my point that none of my kids will ever listen to me.

@thekingoftruths @Cr7Godbrand only if they look like you
English
@Cr7Godbrand All this takes but you are safer in a bus filled with women than a bus filled with men
Men start and end any civilization themselves
English
Women are the enemy of civilizations because their loyalty is to survival, not principles. Women’s moral conscience is lower than men’s because their psychological development is based on shame, not guilt.
Men feel guilt as an inner punishment, while women feel shame as fear of outside judgment. Because of this, women’s behavior is driven by social survival rather than principles. This is why people say a woman has the prerogative to change her mind.
This leads to a lack of accountability and an inability to accept the truth. No matter how well arguments are presented, women hate the truth.
Women understand the world through their feelings, which causes shifting standards. Because of this lack of reason and logic, civilization cannot survive under female leadership.
Men build and women consume. Men build civilization, while women build families. When women rise in power, civilization collapses, as the proverb says, “the hen does not herald the morning.”
Women belong at the heart of the family because of reproduction. Men continue in their role as warriors, protectors, and providers at the family and national level.
Women are supposed to support society through reproduction and promoting family, but they are not doing so. This is a failure of duty to society.
The feminist desire to win without a clear goal and without understanding consequences weakens the state. The state becomes weak and is then conquered by stronger forces.
Women should not vote or hold positions of national importance.

Mate, what a genius you must be - you post "China is not interest in sending missiles to Australia, or any other country" - and within hours China tests a nuclear missile in our own backyard.
Give yourself an upper-cut. And I suggest you sit down that think about how you’ve been brainwashed to get it so wrong.
HBDBRETT@hbdbrett
Give it a rest, Craig. China is not interested in sending missiles to Australia, or any other country, for that matter. Having said that, if the Australian government keeps playing the obedient lapdog to the US and allows them to continue building military bases here, turning Australia into a US military outpost so the US can launch unprovoked attacks, Australia may well end up becoming a target. While China wants to increase prosperity through trade, the US wants to destroy economies around the world through their foreign policy of continued aggression, forever wars, and their desire to increase their political and military dominance around the world. The US are truly the world's largest and most well funded terrorist organisation. You support the US regime, don't you Craig? I'm pretty sure your buddies at One Nation do as well.

@TheTayMan3771 @downbadcomment It's not his job to fix her issues
English
@downbadcomment You're not seeing her best self and spent self. You're seeing her fake self and her real self. She trusts you implicitly to allow her to be unrestrained.
What needs to be acknowledged by both of you is she isn't happy. You need to work on that. Find out what's missing.

Speaking of men who take over spaces that weren't meant for them...
This is a separate, cordoned-off "teen area" at my library. It has a single entrance that is clearly marked "TEEN," and the shelves contain only books for teens. There are ALWAYS 2–4 grown men lounging inside.
