A few weeks ago, I went to Philadelphia, PA to conduct a series of focus groups with young men and women. We discussed a variety of subjects including dating, relationships, infidelity, pornography and the 2024 U.S. election. As part of this research, we teamed up with The Washington Post to give participants the opportunity to share their feelings about the conversation. At the conclusion of each session, we handed each participant a postcard with the following question: “The Post wants to know: What do you wish young men/women understood about what it’s like to be a young woman/man today? Share your thoughts and they might be published as a Letter to the Editor.”
The Post published the postcards in a Letters to the Editor in early October. It struck a chord with readers, generating nearly 1,300 comments. I would encourage you to check it out, especially the commentary. I also wanted to share a more complete list of the responses we received.
