I will say, however, that this passage took me aback: When I spoke to my daughter about this – she was about 16 at the time – it became clear that of her generation, who have been so exposed to so much hardcore material, quite a few of her peer group were saying they were “bisexual” for safety, as if they felt they were expected to perform some of what they had seen.

I'm trying to not have a knee-jerk reaction here but I found this offensive. Perhaps I'm misinterpreting what the author intended?
