OK...this thread is totally not picking up the point I was trying to make.

Granted all the fanfare created around the topic of "free speech" in this country, I am having a hard time understanding Americans' (and particularly American women's) terrible distate of starting up any discussion that would involve the slightest bit of controversy or complexity. I have frequented several women's forums so far (parenting/baby-related) ...and there is an incredible level of censorship.

THIS IS WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT!!!

Maybe you should come over to the poltical threads. This should satisfy your thirst for free speech, complexity, and controversy. I just don't think that parenting/ babies is all of that controversial in and of itself. I can't speak to censorship in the forums you mention because I am not familiar with censorship in that sense. Now place it in terms of media censorship and you will get a barrage of hits around here. Perhaps if you proposed a specific question, were a proponent of a specific lifestyle, or conducted a poll to seek the opinions of others here, you may find what you are looking for at this site. Otherwise, I don't really think you will get complex, passionate, and genuine ideas around here without sowing some of those seeds yourself.

Maybe I am wrong here, I don't know, if I am, I apologize in advance.
