I just wanted to put this prediction in writing in case it comes up in the future.
She's 30 now. But my guess is that by 40 she's going to become a "late-life lesbian" like Cynthia Nixon, Meredith Baxter, and Carol Leifer.
But she won't do this quietly. No, she'll do it in a grand, sweeping manner, with editorials in every newspaper and magazine and a featured gay wedding announcement in The New York Times.
This generally seems to be the way hyper-sexual, maladjusted women go. And if anyone has her dating profile on file, I wouldn't be surprised to find she's already "experimented."

To summarize all my comments, I don't have any interest in regulating or even judging what people do with their personal lives. You wanna be gay or fuck 50 people on your own time? Have fun! You wanna sit home and get high? Go right ahead!
The problem comes when people who do these things assume the role of "sage" or "rule-maker" and try and tell the rest of us how we should live.
And that's what she's doing in two ways. First, by writing her idiotic tell-all in the most public of spaces, The New York Times, and trying to stretch the definition of "consent." And second, by having a teaching job in the humanities.
If you think her thoughts aren't filtering down to the teenage girls (and boys) who take her writing classes, you're living in fantasy land. I once had professors like this. But it was the age before the Internet, so I had no idea why I was always on their bad side. In retrospect, it's because I didn't kiss their asses over their perverse pseudo-feminist politics.
They would give high grades to substandard writers whose work reflected their politics and bad grades to really good writers who didn't toe their party line. There was little you could do about this in the Reagan Era, but I suspect now Generation Z will start calling such professors on their bullshit.
The good thing is that we now have the Internet. And what's on here stays on here. So, her future students and would-be lovers will find pages like this when they look up the name COURTNEY SENDER. And even if they try to dismiss all of this as partisan criticism or "sexism," it's still going to be lodged in a corner of their minds.
