It seems the only proper thing to do is to ignore people's irrationality and act like the normal person you are. I'm about to have a daughter. I really don't want her to think that the world is out to get her, or carry that in my mind.
I don't think you can just ignore it. I think you have to actively counter it, like the author of the piece does. She's been in the news a few times, like for letting her kid ride the subway alone. If this nonsense goes unchecked, it will be accepted as normal.

Cool, I didn't realize that she was the same person. I remember the hoopla about that.
I guess by ignore it, I don't mean cave to it; I mean just act like a normal person, and let people with their hang-ups deal with that. So it is pushing back by refusing to behave weird and paranoid. I know I am going to get shit for letting my kid ride a bike without a helmet.
