Dr. McDevitt has been teaching sex education for a number of years and is considered an expert in human sexuality. She recently did an interview for Cosmo, among other media appearances. Of course, everyone expects some trolling after that kind if thing, but check out the disgusting email she got, followed by the public shaming she gave.

Whoo! He probably won't get a clue, but here's to hoping he'll at least shut his damn mouth regarding other people's bodies.

(1,557 posts)What an asshat that creep is. Good for Dr. McDevitt putting him in his place. I don't think he's self-aware enough to learn from this though.

(31,810 posts)I think he's going to get a very much needed clue! She outed him with a big written punch that he desperately needed. Now maybe he will just shut up. And I loved her point about him needing to hide between two women and "snitch" on her to her father to try and stop her from doing hat HAD to be done. He started it. She finished it.

(11,175 posts)He didn't post anonymously or pseudonymously on a message board. He sent her an email that included his real name.
There are many contexts in which I think that restricting or abolishing anonymous posting would improve the quality of the discussion. This instance isn't one of them, though. It shows that people will sometimes write garbage even when they're signing their real names. (Some DUers are ignoring me, so they would presumably agree with this generalization.)
