then go ask an ethics board of your nearby university their opinion, see how many people actually agree with your overtly exaggerated understanding of "child slavery". because holy shit man, i'm a leftist, so far left i'm an anarchist, i'm all for freedom and consent, and even by my standards what you're saying is just– wild
the definition part of the definition is the paragraph next to "1." the bullet points below it are examples of how it applies. you provided that definition, are you telling me that on top of not understanding the meaning of "and" you also failed to understand the formatting itself?
if your child doesn't want to brush their teeth, are you going to insist that their personal freedom is the most important thing and let their dental hygiene suffer? that forcing them to brush their teeth is somehow slavery? (as small as it is, it is work after all)
