Of course she is missing the point (of the books she is citing). She had a very obvious agenda when she went to write her story/blog and it had nothing to do with the genre at hand. She cherry picked her supporting arguments and used them outside of all context. In addition, applying current social mores to works written 40, 50, 60 years ago is absurd in the extreme. To me, the only thought provoking aspect of her article is that it has somehow managed to illicit 11 pages of discussion. Slow news week?
Though, to be fair, I have learned a bit more about some of the MR membership's social buttons...especially the ones not to push.
