Men Explain Lolita To Me

[Danny Weltman]

I would be interested in how one might reconcile Mark's claim that many
responses are challenging the thesis thoughtfully in a way that
demonstrates careful engagement with the whole argument, on the one hand;
with your claim that responses to the article aren't much more than just
expressions of frustration and/or indignation, on the other hand. I suspect
at best only one of you can be right, but I might be missing something.
