Oh Savvy... this is already a lot to process. I'll start with this - when did women have to start "making room" for men? Aren't we the ones who have been trying to muscle our way into the places where decisions are made? And now we're just going to step aside for men who feel/believe/pretend they are women?
I was dreading your review and analysis as I worried it would exactly as you have written. It’s very hard if you have Grandkids to comment on books such as these for fear of being ostracized. I have to tread very carefully with my daughter. Prayer is my strength in these difficult times. Thank you Savvy!
While reading your review, the thought occurred to me, “Why are we laying such heavy burdens on children?” They don’t need to know about all these things at such a young age. If that were the case, why aren’t we giving them details about cancer? Why no insistence that they understand the struggle of paying bills? In “The Hiding Place,” Corrie Ten Boom tells of the time when, as a child, she asked her father about physical relations between men and women. They were traveling at the time, and her father placed their suitcase in front of her and told her to carry it. She couldn’t and told him that it was too heavy. He replied that the answers to her questions were too heavy and that he would tell her when she was grown enough to bear the weight of the information.
Thank you for reading, reviewing and alerting people to what's really going on. I have up my grade schoolers a long time ago, but want to be aware of the stuff they teach. Again, thanks.
