4. I think the reason the article really resonated was because of the first line.

"About a year ago I was asked to teach a class about the evolution of the representation of sex throughout American Cinema."

The damn class was about sex and its evolution in film! It's like taking a class about the Holocaust and demanding trigger warnings be sent before the class meets. It is an another example, IMO, of some people taking things to an absurd conclusion. Frankly, I feel some people really don't want their world view challenged. I am not taking about taking a class about slavery and the professor is teaching "those people were happy" kind of crap, I am thinking more in the line of things like this class, world history, politics, and the like. I guess my age is really starting to show because stuff like this makes me cranky. LOL!
