Welcome to the Double-Exab Fest for Thursday, October 16th, the Collection of Body Parts Edition.

0:39.5

I'm Hannah Rosen, Slate writer and editor, and I'm in the New York studio today with Amanda Hess, also a writer for Slate. Hi, Amanda. Hi, Amanda. Hi, thanks for having me. Sure. And Noreen Malone, editor at New York Magazine. Hi, Noreen. Hi, Anna. So our three topics today, and then I will talk about the purse.

0:54.8

But first I want to talk about our three topics.

0:56.7

First, teenagers and sexting, why do they do it? Should we be alarmed? And do we really want to legally classify it as child pornography? No. Second, the misogyny of Gone Girl. The movie version has created this era's perfect psycho bitch. Should women everywhere be

1:11.8

insulted? And third, the male feminist. Is there something inherently suspicious about him?

1:17.5

As someone who works in retail, I can say that when you notice a missing bag, it makes you start suspecting everyone and feel rotten about people. Oh, my God. And then Annette Isaacs was, hello Winona Ryder. Of course you need to take it back.

2:18.0

Which, actually, I'll tell you what my son said. He heard me and my daughter talking about this in the front of the car. And he said, Mom, did you do a murder? That's what my show was. I was like, damn, like this. I've been just tricky moral territory here. And then there were a couple of people on the other side, like Alan Thomas, who said the umbrage, come on, have you never really benefited

2:22.0

from some corporate mistake and allowed yourself to keep the proceeds? I know that Amazon one sent me

2:26.8

two of the same item when I had only ordered one and I just kept it. So there were a couple of

2:32.1

defenders. Now, what I realize is that I asked the question

2:35.7
