    Funny how they use the word “consent” here that is usually used by progressive people to advocate for safe sex. This is surely done on purpose. To make it sound like seeing dildos in the store is something close to sexual harassment.

    Funnily enough, they frame it as sexual harassment against the adults. As in “now I have to explain my child about sex toys”. And completely ignore the children’s perspective. If there was any risk in seeing sex toys, the children would be much more prone to getting “damaged”, as they are children. But since when do “conservatives” even care about the health and safety of children?

    The parents should be very well able to deal with seeing sex toys. They are adults after all.

    The children will not care about just seeing the sex toys. The biggest risk is that the parents scare them with a bad explanation, and then when they get older they will be scared of sex or think they need to do some things they don’t want to.

      Conservatives have no qualm engaging in behaviors that they criticize in others. If they think something will let them get their way they will use it, regardless of double standards or hypocrisy.
