About this listen
Right-wing bloggers are skewering popular actress Lena Dunham. Why? Dunham wrote in her memoir about bribing her younger sister to kiss her and apply make-up when they were both children. Conservatives are crying abuse. Susie says give me a break! This misdirected focus on a celebrity is pathetic. Let's talk about real sexual predators and where they exist.
Next, Susie reads a letter from Dan Savage's newspaper column Savage Love. The letter is from a parent who is perplexed about how to deal with a masturbating teenager. The worry is that his grades will fall and he'll become porn obsessed. Susie shares her thoughts; the grown-ups need to give the kid some privacy and what he's doing is normal.
Then, in our "What's New on Audible" segment, Susie has an audio sample from a coming-of-age memoir to share: A Cup of Water Under My Bed by Daisy Hernadez, a journalist who chronicles what the women in her Cuban-Columbian family taught her about love, money, and race.
