you do not understand that context of the article.
sorry if you cannot accept the explanation provided above several times.
Assuming since we disagree that I “do not understand” the context is quite an assumption.
Several explanations of the “contest” don’t change my opinion.
THis person, allegedly a friend of the famiy for many years, goes into a vulnerable teens bedroom and makes assumptions that her reluctance means something.
He then writes about it publicly,,surely his “friends” are a bit disgusted by that.
I think he was using a pretext to get a column and was seeing things thru that prism.
ANd his going into her bedroom to use her computer is creepy in my opinion. ANd no friend would do that to one of my girls at that age.
We disagree,,no need to insult me by assuming my “understanding” is faulty.
