No, it really does. He's claiming something is widespread where I live, and that's just not true at all outside of maybe - maybe - some backwoods inbred hicks (though I question whether they would know what a cotillion was).
He's talking about my home and painting it in a negative light by making claims that have no basis in reality. Forgive me for being offended when my home, my people, and my culture are being lied about
Far be it from me to deny someone a chance to indulge in righteous indignation, but you're off the mark, Â His point about accepting what's normal to you is still very much valid is what I mean.
Also I'm from the south too, fuck the south.
That's part of it. Another part is him saying that it's prevalent in many societies today, then he goes on to state something that happened to him in the south as an example. This is but a singular occurrence. I can assure you that it is not "prevalent" and most people you mention this to would think it's ridiculous.
The example is perhaps bad, but the point about accepting what's "normal" to you stands.
