"Proper" is such a subjective word. What's proper for me might not be proper for someone else and vice verse.

The sense of right and wrong comes from within. Ask girls to "dress" responsibly otherwise. No?

If kids are learning from online media than people who are voicing out here also need to voice out against shows like GOT. No one knows who will get inspired in what way from such shows.

Why should people voice against GOT? How many times do people need to say that GOT is a fantasy set in medieval times, a time when the most grim of things happened, including child marriage and inbreeding too. The most taboo things were normal then, and even then it isn't something that is justified. Why should anybody speak out against GOT when they know that the things it is showing are not set in present times, and neither propagating any of the taboo issues they portray in the show. Only an idiot would think that a show based in a completely different era from present day that is presenting taboo issues has a negative impact on viewers. If the things that GOT showed were set in the present times, people would for sure think W*F, but nobody is, because a smart viewer would keep the time periods in mind before even complaining.

It's useless to tell you about what. I didn't call just anyone who I don't know, an airhead. I used the word airhead for the ones who came across as airheads to me. Television, influence, creative restrictions these are the kind of lame jokes I do not wish to reason with.

Progressive lmfaooo... has become another lame word. Suddenly everyone wants to be 'progressive' just cuz it's progressive to be 'progressive'. But duh! Not everything will be as one wants them to be. One can be progressive only once they accept the fact that there will be progressive things in the world and regressive things in the world and that what's progressive and what's not will be a subjective matter. The definition of 'progressive' will not be the same for everyone. Some people would want to work and some would prefer to marry and settle down. Some would choose to protest every belief and some would prefer following every belief even if they are termed as orthodox. Progressive is when one accepts the fact that there will be all kinds of things and people. Same goes for stalking.. your definition of stalking is different than mine. It's a matter of perception which will differ from person to person, accept it or not. Do not dictate your perception about things as the the ultimate truth.

I agree that sometimes, progressive and regressive can be subjective.

If a women stays at home to take care of her kids and the household, that is considered regressive. However according to me, it is only regressive if she is forced to stay back. if the woman chooses to stay at home on her own volition, then it is fine because I think women making their own decisions is the most progressive thing of all. so yes, in some cases progressive vs. regressive can be subjective. but it is not an one size fits all concept. I don't understand how the concept of child marriage is considered "progressive" to some, I didn't even realize it was subjective.

LOL W*F was that all even? Now you are trying to redefine progressiveness to fit your argument. None of that made sense, and maybe you should read into what that word really means before you try to make up things abut what YOU think being progressive really means. At least then you wouldn't have wasted all that time in typing a failed argument and end up making a fool of yourself. @Bold- This is when you really screwed up with your argument. So being progressive is recognising and accepting that both progressive and regressive things exist? So we shouldn't complain then should we or voice disgust when we come across something regressive?Again...W*F 🤣

Mind you, regressiveness stems from the norms that have been created by the patriarchal system. Patriarchy is a set of beliefs and values that outline the way society should run, which were implemented by men, and are, unfortunately, followed by both men and women alike in society. Being progressive is setting out for social reform by rubbishing these very norms set out by patriarchy that have bounded people's free-will for so long, so that in the long run any regressive practices and beliefs that were made a norm by the patriarchy system can no longer act as an obstacle to the progress of society, people's goodwill and human rights. A person should be able to make their own decisions without societal pressure that is influenced by patriarchal beliefs.
