Spin-The-Bottle Ethics

But I'm very uncomfortable with enacting legislation that denies the ability of young women to exercise rational judgment over how they use their bodies.

Ezra Klein

Unfortunately for those of you who wish to exercise rational judgment over how, where, and why you use the tools and materials necessary for the support of your bodies (i.e., private property), Mr. Klein's level of comfort with interfering legislation is higher. In fact, I have no doubt whatsoever that his above-stated unease is really no more substantial than the emotional connotation of which it consists. Several hypotheticals come to mind involving young women exercising their rational judgment commanding their bodies to do things with which he is far from comfortable.

Regardless, in the very next sentence he writes: "...I'd be much more comfortable with a remedy that sought to outlaw the particular model of GGW, which seeks out girls whose decision-making capacities are severely impaired (because they're drunk) and does so in pressured environments (where groups of guys will be hooting for them to flash)."

So much for any hope of this guy to take a real stand against the heavy cultural statist hand of Garance Franke-Ruta.
