Out With It, Laura!

A letter to the April issue of Harper's:

"Caitlin Flanagan's probing review of the culture of girls and oral sex was marred by her telling and gratuitous insult of Laura Bush. It is precisely because role models like Ms. Flanagan denigrate women known to be monogamous, committed, and polite that young girls feel they must service every boy who comes along, Ms. Flanagan's assumption that a good woman like Laura Bush neither enjoys nor gets good sex (and that everyone agrees on this) really says it all."
