Well - if that social lie is nessescary for that teacher to keep her job, it seems pretty harsh to sit on your high horse and say 'lies are the reason - not unintended sharing'.

The customary examples in this discussion are battered wives hiding from their abusive husbands, and homosexuals in the UaE.



Is it a high horse? Quite a few people seemed to knee-jerk to that assumption, yet it was absolutely nothing of the sort.

Much of society lives a lie (such as the nonsense that teachers live puritanical lives). Those lies are unsustainable with the continued impact of technology on our lives.
