Though there are no doubt costs associated with anal sex, they pale beside the costs associated with vaginal sex [“Complaint targets school board ‘slurs’ ” April 19-26]. I suggest Kari Simpson as a perfect example. More seriously, I know of no studies performing a cost-benefit analysis between the two modalities. But there is no doubt that costs and benefits are attached to both.

Further, it shows cognitive dissonance to file a complaint seeking to stifle free speech while at the same time asserting that the complaint is based on an attack on that same right.
