But maybe I'm wrong and there's a whole generation of porn stars in training out there, spreading STDs and shooting heroine and shooting up their high school.

I kind of doubt that - aren't there also sensationalistic news stories also about how the Millenials (as I always hear them called working in a predominantly undergrad institution) are also embracing evangelical Christianity/fundamentalism with a fervor not found in previous generations? Without any actual real statistical data, I'd be inclined to dismiss most of what's been said as anecdotal. That plus I know Mishymisu just read this book and dismissed it as Women's Studies lite - not to mention the highest praise I've read was Wendy "A Return To Modesty" Shallit's review in the Wall Street Journal.
