We can always count on Dan Savage to deliver sensible, hype-free appraisals of some of the most topical issues of the present day. In this lecture he takes on sexting, and raises some very interesting ideas.
Whether you agree with Dan’s stance or not, it’s likely that some of the ideas in this speech will resonate with you. I particularly like the idea that as time marches on, sexting will become less of an outrage and more normalized. I also think there’s some credence in the sexist nature of all the moralizing.
I still think it’d be smarter for young girls to think before they got snap happy, but Dan’s views make a lot of sense.
