One guy implied that she probably *does* know how to put a condom on a cucumber ... wink, wink. Others questioned if she read anything or did any schoolwork on her boat.
Yes, some FReepers are unfairly demeaning of this woman herself.

16 is a minor, not a ‘woman’. That aside, I do not demean her. I think her parents are either remarkably stupid or remarkably callous, however. As the father has announced the family is now bankrupt, I incline towards stupid.
The line of thought suggesting the state should take custody of the minor is wrong though. It reveals a great deal of naivete about the quality and safety of children in the care of the state.
She isn't a woman. She's a dreamy, romantic teenager. A kid. I won't demean her but this was foolhardy and I hold the parents in contempt.
And yet these 'experts' don't know how to do a simple GOOGLE to find out for themselves whether she took along reading material. I believe it was widely publicized that she had a website, where she described what she was doing on board.
Who , then, is truly 'ignorant'?
