She also makes awfully sexist points?
Because we no longer have any public punishments for adultery, we have turned wives into instruments of the public morality: If she doesn't punish him by divorcing him, he will go unpunished, which is intolerable. (Without some punishment, won't all husbands stray?)Maggie is free to think of her own husband as a dog, but I would prefer that she leave me out of her stereotypes.
I think Megan Garber provides a much more thoughtful analysis in the Columbia Journalism Review.
