Dear men I meet in public transit,<\/p>\n
If you need to ask if I’m legal and say that I look as old as your stepdaughter, you have serious issues. You should probably join a support group and get some professional help, because it sounds like you’re Humbert Humbert from Vladimir Nabokov’s Lolita<\/u>.<\/p>\n
Sincerely, the girl who was disturbed by this morning’s proposition (and honestly does not see what older men see in her, besides someone who’s legal but has the appearance of a 13 year old)<\/p>\n
For those unfamiliar with Nabokov’s work, Humbert Humbert is the main character who marries a woman in order to get closer to her daughter, Delores (Dolly, Lolita, Lo), whom Humbert Humbert is sexually attractive to. Of course, in Lolita<\/u>, Dolly isn’t above using manipulating her step-father with sex to get what she wants and he isn’t above extracting sexual favors from her to give her permission to do things. It is a beautifully written novel that you should read if you’ve never read it before, the film is also worth a watch. Granted you should probably not watch the film around your parents or where you parents can see you as I did when I was 13 and had just finished reading Lolita<\/u> and absolutely loved it. Of the two films (1962 and 1997), both were accurate representations of the novel and if you get a chance, watch both.<\/p>\n
(I got away with watching Lolita<\/u> because I told them that I was reading the book for school. I lied. My grade 8 class was reading S.E. Hinton’s The Outsiders<\/u>.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
