133. it's the generalization.
It doesn't in any way change the fact that the way adoptions occur in this country disempowers birth parents.

Closed adoptions surely do, yes. My sister's ex husband was adopted in a closed way by fucked up folks. He's a mess. But that doesn't justify the generalization.

How about this - "Vegans are unhealthy." I don't doubt for a second that there are some vegans out there who aren't in the best of health. Does that justify the generalization?
