Science is real and we must not anger her

The BBC is running a story trying to pull at our heartstrings for starving fathers in Afghanistan who are ready to sell their young daughters just to buy food. One man weeps while holding his seven-year-old twins, saying he'll sell one to feed the rest. Another already sold his five-year-old. I don't care how hungry I get I would never do this. Not in a million years. These beautiful, innocent little girls are being treated like goods to be traded by the very men who are supposed to protect them. Instead, they're guarded by monsters. Poverty and hunger are horrific, but selling your own child isn't an "impossible choice" it's a moral failure. The BBC can frame it as tragic desperation all they want, but we should be disgusted and outraged for the daughters, not feeling sorry for the fathers willing to do this. These children deserve real protectors, not men who see them as a survival asset. Absolutely sickening
