Comment on Wrong Groomers

  There is also the concept of “positive” grooming, for instance a child given specific education and resources to provide an advantage in something like politics could be said to be being “groomed” for politics or leadership.

  I’d say the idea of grooming is more intentional than just regular child-raising, but that might be subjective.

  As i said though, the current common usage is almost always negative and sexual in nature, it’s just not a requirement.

    TIL I was groomed to be a contributing member of society and could have lived my dreams of being a strung-out braindead hippie.

    I feel so violated.
