The infantilization of America seems set to continue, at least if the American Prospect’s Garance Franke-Ruta has her way. Writing in the WSJ, and clearly provoked beyond reason by the success of those tacky “Girls Gone Wild” DVDs, she’s arguing that 18-21 year olds are too young to consent to “providing erotic content” on film. Oh good grief, Garance, at 18 years old people are old enough to take some decisions for themselves, even ones that other folk might reasonably think are mistaken. If they are not, that reflects not their age, but their education. Treat young people as if they were irresponsible children, then that is how they will behave.
