Thoughts on the YU Beacon Article

I was quite disappointed after reading the YU Beacon article.
I am not against free speech.
I am against poor pointless writing.
The Curious Jew put it well here.

Something that bothered me about the article which was not touched upon by the Curious Jew was that

1) The author was anonymous. 
COME ON! Writing something like that without telling us who you are. Seriously!

2) Why did she feel a need to change her identity? 
It's not like frum people don't engage in mating acts.
You and I were born somehow after all, weren't we.
And even sinning. People sin. That doesn't mean you have to change your persona and move to another country every time you do so.
The author implies that she could not have had relations had she remained in her "cute" frum attire.

3) Come on. That relationship was a bad one if not abusive. 
Poor girl. Had to get herself drunk to let it happen.
The guy got what he wanted and ran for the hills.
 She was left alone with all her raw emotional dilemmas and wasn't offered any emotional support.
THERAPY 101! Help!

4) This article confirms my suspicions.
Frum Satire is a total son-of-a-zonah.
