At what point does rebellion and resistance become about a society as a whole - about other people, too - instead of it being self-serving? Hypocritical? a band-wagon effect? A childish act against the elders?

This short story illustrates that transitional point - or doesn't, and whether if you think it does or doesn't is the entire point. Those who call Updike sexist for writing this do not get the point of an "unreliable narrator" and seem to be having trouble distinguishing Updike from the main character. So, to emphasize, Sammy does not represent Updike's voice here (not until the very end, anyway). And Sammy is not a reliable narrator. You are not supposed to approve of his point of view. I think it's important to know these points in order to enjoy this work.
