An incredibly astute, if not horribly depressing article from Naomi Schaeffer Riley.
"There is no way to know the details of Lauren’s background, but there
is reason to think that her parents, despite her statements to the
contrary, know exactly what she has been up to. She has been viewing
porn since the age of 11, she says. She suddenly had an extra $4,000 a
month to contribute to the tuition bill. She turned down a full
scholarship to Vanderbilt in order to attend a school she couldn’t
afford without letting men abuse her on camera."
(She says she found Duke
more “spiritual.”)
"So where are the grown-ups in Lauren’s life? Cheering her on."
"Her
parents at least tacitly approve of her activities."
"Her women’s studies
professors are probably applauding as they pen articles in academic
journals about her courage."
