That's what I meant by imaginary wrongs.

Some things end up being cultural and are hard to fight. Men with fatty deposits on their chest have moobs that are pretty much like hairy breasts. These can be displayed in public but a woman's breasts cannot. It's stupid but a fight that will take a damn long time in winning. But it's the same sort of idiocy as behind segregation. "I can't prove it with science but I have my faith! Mixing races is bad!"

If I want to get right down to it, I consider religion toxic and think it's abuse to raise kids religiously. But that's not a fight I even want to try to make because what sort of solution wouldn't make for a bigger problem? CPS taking kids away from religious households? I'd be against that. Best I can figure is have freethinking organizations available for kids who survive the upbringing.
