Multiple times when reading you will find unsettling words like “sexy” used in the context of children, which Hollandsworth does purposely by adding other quotes after the mention like “our daughters” to make the point far more personal for the audience (para. 17-18). It is a powerful tool that he wields effectively and often. Popularization is one facet of the thesis idea that is referenced more sparingly but still effectively.
