OK, I am awake and caffeinated so ready to go through this. To aid in clarity, I am going to put all the responses I imagine our hypothetical authoritarian would give inside a block so it is clear that is what I am doing.
Milord view as positive? I think (and let me know if you think I’m wrong) that parent job to to prepare offspring to have a beautiful fulfilling life, able to follow their dreams and aspirations. Offspring’s, not parents.
"no, at least that is not the parents' primary job, though it is nice if they can do that as well. The parents' primary job is to make sure that their offspring grow into good (insert whatever label they use for their in groop)
This is a good parent. I already explained this. Can a parent that damages his/her offspring to achieve his/her own ideology considered a good parent? No , is a poor, bad parent. The worst one. I’ve seen this a lot of time, even if never so bad, and they raised children that became poor, unhappy souls.
"While that is sad, it is better for the children to be unhappy and virtuous than for them to become degenerates."
And a positive view of sex, it’s not a subjective matter. Sex positivity is the ability to have a fulfilling sexual life, that give pleasure and happiness. It’s not about promiscuity. Will someone that has been closed in a chastity belt able to think (or more important, to feel internally) how wonderful and beautiful is sex? Would not be guilt ridden, unable to enjoy it?
"There is no reason they shouldn't have a happy and fulfilling sex life with their husbands and no reason to feel guilty about that as long as they keep sex to its proper place. They will probably be much happier with an appropriate sex life if they are not tainted by degenerate sexual habits growing up. That said, even if being belted does lead to them not enjoying married sex as much as they otherwise might, as long as they do their duty it is a small price to pay "
And as much as you can say, a healthy sex life is a very important step toward happiness. How many people you know that are sexless (not for being belted) and still are very happy and fulfilled? I personally know none
(don't actually have an in-character response to this one)
Let me offer another point of view. Parents put in chastity an hypothetical (young adult) person. Would this person thinks that parents care for her and want her good and happiness? It’s an honest question.
"of course, they might not like it in the moment but in the long term it is good for them and they will eventually come to see that. In the same vein, younger children probably don't like eating their vegetables but we still make them because they must grow up healthy."
OK back to me in my own voice.
wow, this character I have written is a real piece of shit but I think a disturbing number of people would sympathize with their viewpoint. Most of them would probably not be self-aware enough to actually articulate their perspective like this naturally, and many of them would probably rethink there outlook if they actually gave it enough thought to do so.
I like to recommend a book on the kind of people who would agree with these statements. The book is called "The Athhoritarians" by Bob Altemeyer, and it is a summary of his life's work of studying the psychology of people who become the foot soldiers in authoritarian movements. I don't know if it is available in any language other than English, but it is free to download on the author's website here: https://theauthoritarians.org.
