Best Discussions
I have added our thread on prostitution to the Best Discussions archive. Ditto our thread on The Healthy Nature of Hatred.
Almost every single comment that anyone left in those threads are worth reading. The conflicting points of views and assumptions are fascinating, and a few people were rather brave in their remarks. It was all worth reading. Even the comments from people I disagreed with.
I will note something I said myself in the comments: I think anyone with a teenaged son or daughter would be foolish not to have conversations like this with their kids.
I agree wholeheartedly. May I be so bold as to add Naomi Wolf's, "Beauty Myth" as adjacent reading to the discussion for those teenage sons and daughters on this topic. She raises many similar points on the roles and responsibilities women and men play in relationships from an early age.
These discussions are fascinating. All sorts of interesting views on all sorts of interesting subjects. That's why I read this blog.
