Part 10/13:
Throughout her discussion, Cooper emphasizes that contemporary culture has increasingly moved away from traditional virtues like chastity and responsibility. Promoting promiscuity, celebrating hookup culture, and minimizing the significance of consequences have become normalized, yet these have come at human costs—emotional, physical, and mental.
She critiques this cultural shift, noting that while society tells women they should not feel shame or regret, the reality is often different. When women suffer health issues like HPV or emotional trauma, these are sometimes dismissed or minimized. Cooper advocates for a more responsible approach—owning one’s actions and being accountable—while also respecting individual choice.
