I know, I know. You see enough moralistic liberal hypocrisy every day. Why do you need to read more about it?
Trust me. You want to read Heather Mac Donald’s zinger of an OpEd in the New York Post. Sample:
Apparently, a 15-year-old is a fully mature adult (a “woman,” in nauseating feminist parlance) when it comes to deciding to have sex. But a 20-year-old, in the City Council’s eyes (or a 17-year-old, under current law), can’t be trusted to make her own informed decisions on smoking and must be restrained by the government….
It is not news that “nonjudgmental” liberals, who deplore moral stigma directed at virtually anything sexual, have simply redirected their moral censure to certain behaviors with negative health consequences — smoking and overeating being the favorite targets.
Read the whole thing.
