Notable and Quotable
"Wendy Shalit’s first book, A Return to Modesty. . . created a storm when it was published nine years ago but whose influence can be detected in today’s campus chastity clubs, including here at Harvard. As a veteran of pro-sex feminism who still endorses pornography and prostitution, I say more power to all these chaste young women who are defending their individuality and defying groupthink and social convention. That is true feminism!"

Re: WSJ article on Dr. Phil

I also just read your article in today's WSJ, and have to applaud you for your drive and desire to get the word out in favor of modesty. Like the previous poster above, I also feel Dr. Phil is a phony of the highest regard; he would make Holden Caufield's blood boil! I do think the generational differences between the Boomers (who led the sexual revolution of the '70s), and the young women growing up now should be explored and discussed more deeply. I did see the other post coming from a Boomer, and of course, we cannot lump all people from one age group into one pot. But it is refreshing to know that my own daughter does not need to grow up flashing her private parts just to get Mardi Gras beads from total strangers. Not that anyone was ever under threat of their own life to do so, which makes their actions all the more unintelligible.
Please keep up the good work!
