Compare and contrast the views expressed in “A Thoroughly Modern Moral Dilemma”.
Unfaithful wives aren’t a problem worth even telling the husband.
Dean,
What’s your take on this? I think it’s one of the nuttiest articles I’ve ever read.

Don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying Hope deserved the treatment she got or that those who circulated the picture should go without punishment, but I think she bears some, if not most, of the responsibility for the situation.

No lie.
Texas: I had to stop reading when I realized I was reading a typical Angry Resentful Feminist Rant. Maybe a little smarter than a Yourish but not much. Teenagers commit suicide over being embarrassed. Teen boys are far more likely to do it than teen girls are, statistically, but no one gives a shit because they’re boys.
I think the story should be about remembering just how cruel kids can be and just how sensitive teenagers, particularly not-particularly-popular teens, can be.
