What right do parents have to relegate teaching their children - about any moral issue or necessary virtue - to the ‘too hard - can’t be bothered with it yet’ basket?

When the commercials themselves start portraying immorality, we have a problem.

This wouldn’t be simply using a television as the babysitter, that is problematic material coming during breaks.
 
The key here being that they are “supporting religious alternatives” rather than saying “what right do they have to say pigs are good???” and demanding that the show be cancelled or changed to fit their religion.
 

Now, if American Jews and Muslims can handle their kids being exposed to commercials literally saying “Go bacon! Go bacon!” and showing very appetizing sizzling bacon strips, do you think you can find a way to handle your kids being exposed to commercials implying that gay couples exist?

Women should not be allowed to not be dependent on men?

If a woman is single, then yes, she is an idependent woman, an autonomous woman, but when a woman is married she is no longer an independent woman. Synonyms for the word independent are: free, individualistic, autonomous, thinking or acting for oneself.

A married woman should no longer makes decisions or live her life based only on herself or her own self interests but decisions that are good for her and her husband and her family. That does not mean that she depends on her husband for every little thing or she isn’t her own individual person. She definitely needs to be able to make decisions in life and have things in life that are enjoyable to her alone but again those decisions and those outside pursuits are what is best for her and her husband and family.

Jesus said in Mark 10 And the two shall be in one flesh. Therefore now they are not two, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
 
I mean, I’m pretty nervous you’re going to reach for your trusty report button…😉

So should we have a moniker in front of men’s names to signify their marital status?

Well, Mister and Master are derivatives of each other, we could start using both of those titles. 😆

Humor aside a young man before the age of 12 can use the title master in front of his name, after 18 he becomes mister.

I am sure if one is uncertain if a woman is married or not using the title Ms. is fine unles she does not like that title due to the feminist attachment to it and then, as things seem to be going today, use her first name if she prefers. People like to hear their names being said in a nice way, otherwise Mrs. typically refers to a married woman.

Well turn off or mute the ads - or use streaming or DVDs which are usually blessedly ad-free. I haven’t even switched on my actual television since the World Cup soccer last year.

None of this changes the fact that, kids being kids and the world being the world, they are going to see sin of different sorts portrayed or actually happening, be it in front of their eyes or on the screen. Can any of us seriously say we were never exposed to problematic concepts as children? Children’s cartoons have certainly always been violent, see my Road Runner reference above. Doesn’t mean violence became normalised or we suddenly started thinking it was OK, or were ever at any stage confused about the matter. This is due to the guidance our parents gave us in our day to day lives - whether or not we were watching the cartoons - about violence being wrong.

I don’t think there is really any age at which a parent cannot, with a little thought, have age-appropriate discussions about pretty much anything that a child might see on screen. Death, crime, taxes, politics, the basic facts of life, be they between married or non-married, heterosexual or homosexual. Doesn’t mean the moral quandaries have to be avoided necessarily.
