@erica@octodon.social Perhaps not that harsh, though. We all have lived realities, it's just that some are more privileged--and some in the third world are downright scary.

I'm all for introducing more adversity into the lives of all Westerners, but boys in particular. It's interesting to see Western boys come to Taiwan and whine like crazy about the traffic, and then watch how the females adapt more easily. I support most things, short of violence, that build resilience.
