    OK, I am going to try arguiung that privacy supersedes food:

    To have a right to anything means there is something that I own. Owning something puts a division between me and others who can not own this specific thing: My right is my own, I do not have to diminish it by sharing. The most fundamental form of division is absence. Having a right to privacy is a right to the absence from others. Therefore the right to privacy is a more fundamental one than the right to food.

    However, I agree that in practice eating in public beats dying in private any time of the day. 🤷


  • life is unfair and the big dog eats the small dog.

    Life is unfair, because people choose not to be fair.

    You might ask her why she believes this an acceptable state of things. Is it maybe because it is beneficial to her? Would she accept the system if she wasn’t beautiful and/or smart?

    Another possible approach I see is taking away some privileges or force her to do more work around the house? After all, as parent you are top dog, so why not treat her unfairly? Its the natural order of things after all, isn’t it?

    Maybe sprinkle in some historic lessons about child labor and tyrannicide to show that just because something is like this does not mean that it has to continue to be like this.
