Since I really don't think I have the energy to cope with the serious rage I know I'm going to experience as I read this horrible, condescending, pointless, petty, and resentful article in full, suffice it to say that I hate it more than just about anything on planet earth. And I hate a lot of shit. For now I'll let Amanda Marcotte do the talking, and see if I can come back to this later without my brain exploding. But I really am curious about why the New York Times is so determined to undermine young people at every chance (based on bogus research and made-up theories) they get. Stop it, guys. We actually are smart enough to find and read newspapers.

ATTN: Stupid People on the Internet

I was pleased to see this post turn up on Jezebel today, because as someone who had similar experiences  several times over the course of my life as a teenage girl I know that it's absolute bullshit to be shamed for your body when all you're doing is trying to be comfortable. However, I was not pleased to read the slew of shamey-victim-blamey comments that followed the piece. Are you serious Wendy? When a young woman decides to open up to you about the first time she's ever felt ashamed of her sexuality, it is not the appropriate time (as if there's ever an appropriate time!) to suggest that she's overreacting or deserved what she got.
