That's why the author is approaching self-centered, egotistical loon status.
Seriously, think about it: She gets to have all the fun she wants, before the internet exists (or at least while it's still in its infancy), for like 15-20 years, but then she has to write an article making sure to hurt other young folks chances at having and enjoying that same kind of whatever-goes crazya$$ sex -- the kind she sure didn't deny her own self of.
Sure, thanks a lot, DAWN!
I think there is a big difference here between being hippo critical and genuinely changing. Take dawn here, she went into all this casual sex without any real intention of changing. One day she had a realization that it was wrong and then change. I think thats a legitimate change of heart. Take people like some friends of mine. They claim to be christian. Yet they run around engaging in casual sex and this and that. I ask them how can you do that knowing what's in the bible/etc. They say, yea i know it might be wrong, but i'll just screw around now and be good later. When i'm ready i'll "ask for forgivness" and then live up to that moral code. THat is clearly hippo critical in my book and it does annoy me, but there is a big difference between them and dawn here.
