@anneapplebaum I think of this story when I hear about cases like those described by @anneapplebaum I anticipate that the social pendulum will swing - and that he young people of the 2030s will regard their elders who came of age in the early 2010s as absurdly unfair and censorious. 7/x — PolitiTweet.org

@anneapplebaum just as in Wharton's story of the more permissive 1910s vs the more stringent 1880s. But to the people crushed by social disapproval in one era, the easier standards of the next won't matter. Nobody ever remembers the details, only the outcome. 8/x — PolitiTweet.org
