Stuart Schneiderman on Hooking Up…
March 16th, 2010
In the last week or so, Stuart Schneiderman has had a number of very good articles about hooking up. I keep kicking myself for not blogging on them. But his latest article is here.
Take a scene from Sunday morning campus life. A coed has embarked on a walk of shame. As she walks across the campus, dressed as she was for last night’s party, she knows that everyone knows what she was doing the night before.Does she feel shame because she has done something wrong or because society has a negative attitude toward the free expression of female sexuality? Does she feel shame because she gave it away for free, thus, devalued her sexuality, or because society suffers from a Puritanical intolerance of women’s sexual pleasure?
From there, Schneiderman expertly spins out the issue in various angles. A must read.
