Wait until he gets to “where the sidewalk ends” 😭

You didn't even read it, did you? You just disregarded it because it doesn't fit your world view. You are pathetic, scum of the earth. People present you with scientifically backed evidence showing how the world really is and you disregard it because it is brought to your attention by a group of people you find inferior to you.

These overly sheltered manchildren who get angry over a children's story.

I love them tbh. Unfortunately I have received far too many beatings to live that life, but part of me still yearns for that freedom from responsibility and gender.

"Just read The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein to my 5yo son" Sounds like an unhealthy relationship, your child shouldn't require you to read to him. Cut all ties NTA

A friend of mine read me that book in my twenties for the first time, I didn't know it before, and all I could see was a story about unhealthy relationships and giving too much. I mean, I've always found weird that this is not considered the main message of this book

It's not like the book is remotely subtle about this.

wtf are you saying the sidewalk doesnt end at an actual cliff you can fall off of?????????????????????????????????????????
