“Sex, Sadness and the City” by Wendy Shalit, City Journal
This article describes how the popular TV show provides insight into people seeking
meaning amidst numerous hookups. Shalit uses anecdotes and quotes from the show to
expose the loneliness of the four women on the show. She describes how their own actions
and willingness to partake in the hook-up culture are responsible for their feelings of
isolation and loneliness.

“The Campus Rape Myth” by Heather Mac Donald, City Journal
This article explores the common claim that about 1 in 4 women are the victims of rape or
attempted rape while at college. Mac Donald dismantles the statistic while simultaneously
showing that university officials’ response to the claim would not be sufficient or appropriate
even if the statistic were accurate. Mac Donald blames this rape culture on “a booze-fueled
hook-up culture of one-night, or sometimes just partial-night, stands” and urges those
seeking a solution to the rape culture to practice and advocate sexual restraint.
