I don't know how to make a quote line but this one stood out to me and made me laugh.

"Parents do not consent to their children being exposed to obscene devices while shopping for toothpaste."

What stores sell toothpaste next to adult toys?

    My local supermarket has sex toys on upper shelves in the family planning section, which is in the healthcare department. They don't look like dongs, so people shouldn't recognize what they are unless they know about them already. But kids might still ask their parents what that is on the shelf, and that is apparently worse than school shootings.

    My Walmart has them next to the pharmacy, 2 or 3 aisles away from the toothpaste

    Meijer has them on the same aisle as the deodorant

    It does baffle me that there are parents that think that a kid seeing that box will be ‘scarred for life’

    Well, it may lead them to satan. As you know, only pure people go to heaven. So don't even think about sex. And if you do, then better whip yourself until you forget about it or you pass out.

    I’m guessing that part is performative. I doubt there are dildos for sale at Walmart.

    They sell small vibrators in discreet packaging, on the top shelf near the condoms.

    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.
