That said, I notice a tendency at times to rail against imagined cultural forces, or to tilt at windmills that aren't really there. The kids with the "70 different facebook personalities because they're unloved".. is this a real phenomenon?

I see an awful lot of angst around things like "the culture", and historically I think there is ALWAYS a lot of angst around things like "the culture". I actually think in terms of real data, "the culture" is improving. By every metric, violent crime is down. Certainly domestic violence is taken far more seriously than it was a few decades ago, and thankfully so.

I can only speak to what I see and, more specifically, what I do in my own life and family. I can't imagine spouting the sort of nonsense that Mr. Porter speaks of in regards to his own kids, or treating a son different than a daughter in that fashion. Seems absurd, to me, but then lots of things - like homophobia, or religious fundamentalism - seem absurd to me, too.
