I just finished reading Wendy Shalit’s “Girls Gone Mild” and while it took me almost a month and a half, only getting to read a chapter every couple of days, the impact of this book was in no way lessened. This book made me think. In fact, a chapter at a time was really all that I […]

The Consequences As I See Them.

The recent headlines concerning abstinence issues resemble a veritable table tennis game of reporting. “Abstinence Only Not Working, Feds Say.” “Abstinence program successes.” “Experts say US sex abstinence program doesn’t work.” Back and forth. Back and forth.

About

Archive for Theresa.

I'm a midwestern girl who feels the most comfortable in the big city, surrounded by the noise, colors, and experiences that can only come from the intermingling of different cultures, groups, and ideas.
