Today in Missing the Point
Jul. 23rd, 2011 05:33 pmAs I was paying for a purchase, I put my current book on the counter. I'm guessing the clerk only read the title (The Purity Myth) and not the subtitle (How America's Obsession with Virginity is Hurting Young Women), because what she said was "They should give that to the girls on Teen Mom."
This is why I love you, book. You may have spent the entirety of our time together so far (60 pages) circling the same three points over and over again. You may confuse calling your opponent a poopoo head for a convincing argument. But you are so right and so alone in the universe and I just want to hug you.
And keep in mind, I'm extremely anti unplanned pregnancy and anti teen pregnancy. I think feminists are going too far when they say 15 year olds have the agency to decide to have a baby. But still. The sex was not the problem in that situation.
