The initial reaction of many people upon reading Dr. Phil’s now-deleted tweet about drunk sex was outrage. I had a different first thought: This is a conversation we really need to have.
In case you’ve missed this Twitter tempest, a recap: Yesterday afternoon, Dr. Phil McGraw’s account sent out the following message: “If a girl is drunk, is it OK to have sex with her? Reply yes or no to @drphil #teensaccused.” The tweet promptly garnered enraged responses and a Change.org petition, and it was deleted shortly thereafter. A spokesperson for McGraw came out this morning to defend the 140-word bombshell, by explaining that it “was intended to evoke discussion leading into a very serious show topic.” It remains to be seen what that show will cover, but I happen to agree that this is a “very serious” topic and one worthy of discussion.
