My daughter dropped her first iPhone outside an off-campus party, the kind of sports-related, senior-sponsored event that is infamously associated with sexual assault. When the cops showed up, she stood frozen until someone grabbed her hand and pulled her into the woods. As she ran from the police with her friends, her phone fell into a snow bank and was never seen again.Yes, her daughter is clearly too irresponsible to carry a gun, drive a car, or perhaps go to college. But at 17 she can't get a carry permit, anyway. This is back to the fainting couches view of women that feminists should be opposing, not promoting.
We bought her a replacement, a highly desirable 5s that she promised to guard with her life. Weeks later, after another party, my “slightly drunk” daughter tumbled down some stairs. She wasn’t injured, but the iPhone screen was cracked.

What am I missing here? Why does my brain hurt when I see such obvious loopholes in logic?
Your missing the writer's utter failure as a parent, and her failure to even NOTICE her utter failure as a parent.
