5316 PEACEFUL PARENTING AND UPB - Locals Answers
November 25, 2023 20:22 - 53 minutes - 48.8 MBUpB question: I may be mistaken on the tenets, but if the basis of UPB seems to be offenses against someone's wishes/boundaries (rape being not UPB because it is not possible for it to be consensual, thus always guaranteed to be against someone's wishes/guaranteed to be breaking their boundaries...), then why can something only be immoral if it's part of a category that has to be against someone's wishes? What if someone does something intentionally sadistic, such as knowing someone's trigge...
