Re: Unhooked: How Young Women Pursue Sex, Delay Lo

I don't really see how that solves anything. Although, from a secular point of view, I suppose not acting like a bunch of rabbits helps society a little.

Some of the girls in the book did "care or love" the person they were being intimate with and the sex partner didn't love them back. So, really, outside of a marriage commitment, her advice is still going to bring a world of hurt.


As long as their agenda, for the Left, is focused on abortion, it shows they are not trying to change anything, internally. All of the Liberal media champions this issue with every ounce of breath they can breathe.


It's sad, that's for sure. Remember recently, Belle Knox, who attends Duke University, very proud of her porn career? I remember when UT students were expelled for dancing in strip clubs. Not anymore.


She was basically saying that these kids have misunderstood the purpose of the feminist movement and agenda, but I don't buy it. I don't think you can be moderate while saying, "It's not about having less sex...." JMO.

It is still the age old fight against a conservative view and a liberal - abstinence and prevention. Whichever camp you are in, that is going to be your view and the subject you will focus on when writing a book.


Right, I did state that you said that in your first post - "The interesting thing, as you mentioned with this author, is that they are talking about these effects in a secular way, not necessarily mentioning a religious belief, but just observation."
Well, we're on the same side here, PO. The main difference is that I enjoyed the book and you didn't! LOL!

I just got done reading another book that I loved and you would probably hate called The Faith Club!
