Friends Without Benefits (Vanity Fair can only be linked to.)
This all has a lot to do with why I married an older man.

“Nancy Jo Sales uncovers a world where boys are taught they have the right to expect everything from social submission to outright sex from their female peers. What is this doing to America’s young women?”
Gag, another one of these stories that try to paint teen girls as these innocent little airheads being preyed upon by evil males.
Why dont we ask about the world where girls expect boys to act either like effeminate wimps or are respected only if they have the personality of douches?
And then “I found out he was talking to, like, four other girls.” And now she wanted to do something to get over it, maybe to get back at him. “I mean, I should have known. All men are basically whores.” When he didn’t turn out to be her “true love”—“like Bella and Edward, or Bella and Jacob, you know?”
Oh, the irony is strong here. Quite strong.
I’m just hoping for Marriage with Benefits......
I read the first page, cry me a river. It hurts to be stupid.
Needs one of your Alas New Babylon pings...

vacuous, hypersexualized, depersonalized teen “culture” - yeah both sad and very disturbing
Too depressing.
Its only been a Few Years since I was a Teenager, but going back and reading that article, how those Girls Spoke....it made my head hurt.
I couldn't get a Valley Girl Accent out of my head, and the Guys AH! WHAT ARE THEY THINKING!?!?!
