    Is this 'lets be intellectually lazy' day?

Apparently. Your quote:

    I'm not sure why you would demonize someone for a phenomenon that is completely normal.

You'll note that my list is the Venn overlap for the subsets "things that are demonized" and "things that are completely normal." The point being: just because something is normal does not mean that it is good, that it is just, that it is something to be championed. On the other hand, you have bid "Childbirth and Education" as if they were things subject to demonization. This will be a difficult argument to make, should you attempt to do so.

It seems that you wish to argue that "changing social dynamics" are "good normal" like "Childbirth and Education." However, you merely argued that "changing social dynamics" were "normal" and, as "normal" things, not subject to demonization. I hope you now see the fallacy in your argument.

But hey. Let's start the kickoff with some snark, that always sets the tenor in a great spot, just like sarcasm and hyperbole.
