What's up with all these parenthetical asides about wine and Sephora? Is it like "relax, I'm criticizing this but I'm still ~acceptably feminine~?"

I'm a little uncomfortable with the treatment of Amy Fisher by the text. If she was a sex worker, she was a child being exploited. Even if she wasn't, 16 is barely old enough to legally consent to sex, and her "lover" was twenty years her senior. I thought a book about feminism would handle that with more care and sensitivity.
