It is also a distortion to connect her anti-pornography position to the belief that “women are always coerced into sex.” The argument...

And there is plenty of opportunity for error. A coxswain can commit steering mistakes that add of seconds to his or her crew’s race. They can call the final sprint too early, leaving their crews with no gas left and 100 meters still remaining between them and the finish. They can misjudge the strokes left in a race, telling their...
