...or I could have entitled this thread the "mediocrity and stupidity of the typical American woman".

In the past year and a half I have been frequenting several parenting and baby-related forums simply because I reached that stage in my life (I have a 6 months old).
The problem is that such forums seem to be moderated by such "consensus/harmony" -obssessed vultures that it is basically impossible to start any meaningful, more complex conversation about child-rearing. As soon as that happens, someone gets sanctimoniously offended and the moderators delete the thread.

Any post that goes beyond "oh, how cute our babies are" is considered a "hot, controversial" topic and it is automatically not accepted. Everyone is supposed to be brought to the lowest common denominator - "dumb and happy cow" style.

Got a question: is this how Americans like their women? High-pitched, eternally dressed in pink and idiotic?

The only forum I have been to so far where things are actually DISCUSSED is this one; but then again, this is a male-populated forum with no interest in baby-rearing. Shheeeeeshhh...
