I may have some insight into this. As the child of lefties, a sister of mine (raised in another state), rebelled by shacking up with a Muslim guy she (horrors!) threatened to marry.
This had the intended effect of shocking what was essentially an un-shockable parent. Thus I think Stanley’s choice of bedfellows was a pointed act of hostility toward her parents.
BTW, I know of a lot of girls given male names by their fathers. Those with a healthy sense of selve grow beyond the anger.
