Musings of an Inappropriate Woman: You are not your sex drive: the problem with Jong. →
I’m a bit late responding to Erica Jong’s rather controversial opinion piece in the New York Times the weekend before last. If you haven’t already read it, Jong basically argues that the younger generation (by which she mostly means women in their thirties) have “given up” on sex,…
So many of the articles in Slate, etc are written by people who’ve decided that if at least three of their friends have done the same thing, that equals a worldwide trend (and not just a coincidence, or something relevant to rich New Yorkers only). Jong’s daughter doing one thing or another isn’t evidence of a problem with society. And as Hills points out, it’s not even evidence of a problem with Jong’s daughter.
