Men Explain Lolita To Me

[msacha1121 at gmail.com]

Thats what bothers me about this new brand of click-driven cultural politics.. I know we all have a long, long way to go toward a just society. But a lot of what I see doesn't advance a debate - it's there to elicit the confirmation bias of supporters and the irritation of those in other camps. As someone who agrees with a lot of the fundamental assumptions I think the way a lot of it is presented feeds prejudice, and that makes me sad.
