It is interesting. I can see why Flanagan drives a lot of people up a wall (and I would probably be one of them, if I read more of her social commentary), but I also appreciate the distinctions she draws. Promiscuities is another take on the development of girls' sexuality based on conversations with women who were generally sexually active as teens in the 70s; Wolf does a great job of capturing both the pleasure and the terror, as opposed to the total disconnection Flanagan describes (apparently without direct contact with such girls) today. Flanagan lost me at the end with the bit about how meaningless sex was okay for boys, though.
