If you are not being ruthlessly shamed for your parenting by trolls, how do you even know you’ve posted a happy holiday snap of you with your kids?
Let’s take, for example, this perfectly innocent shot that singer Justin Timberlake posted of his actor wife Jessica Biel with their three-year-old son, Silas:
Timberlake captioned the photo: “If that pic doesn’t say ‘City Of Love’ then I’m out…”
So you’d be forgiven for thinking this was simply a photo of a family on holiday.
But you’d also be wrong.
You see, there was a lot that was problematic – apparently.
Let’s start with Silas’s hair. It is long. It is not how a boy usually wears his hair. And that needed to be pointed out. Because, was it a case of neglectful parenting? Did they just forget to take him to the barber? Or worse – is this part of the whole fluid gender movement where stereotypes of what it means to be a boy or a girl are being disseminated and the world is ending?
