I wouldn’t want young men who talk that way to be around my girls.
I don’t hear this kind of language from my sons and their friends, so I think there’s a subculture that we’re missing out on.
I also think Giles misses out on this somehow. Guys he's referring to--at least the type that I knew growing up--sure as hell weren't "dating" in the sense that you and I "dated". The convenient thing about "hooking up" is that one can actually by-pass meeting a girl's parents, at least initially.
Yup... and that subculture (addressed in the article) is numerically dominant in American culture...
Keeping that subculture AWAY from the daughters is the purpose of the article... methinks...
Sounds like your son/friends are blessed to be apart from those patterns of speech & behavior...
(Mine are likewise blessed)
