Below is a very interesting question that I got:
what made women support sexual liberation? I mean it has done nothing
but harm to women and family. Are some women really so driven by lust,
that it felt like a good idea?
It is my personal opinion that women are generally motivated by lust to a lesser degree than men, simply because male sex drive is so much stronger. Women also tend to use sex as a means to get something out of the man, ideally commitment, but it could be something else. It's not a secret that women often fall in love with men of high status or those they perceive as such.
Now in the times before the sexual revolution, a woman would use sex to ensnare a man as Constanze Mozart did, but in the process she risked her reputation and could very well end up as a single mother, not exactly a respectable person in those times. Sexual revolution allowed women to use sex as leverage, without experiencing any stigma, or at least, less of it.
On the other hand, all throughout the 20th century women were encouraged to become more and more like men, pursue professional education and careers etc. Since there was less stigma attached to casual sex while practised by men, and in fact, in some circles it was pretty much expected for a man to fool around with "bad" girls before settling down with a "good" girl, naturally, feminists pushed women into following the same pattern. It didn't really catch up at first, due partly to the absence of the effective STD treatments and reliable contraception, and partly to the lingering of old Christian morals.
Both reasons were pretty much done away with during the 1960s, so the sexual revolution finally became the reality. After this period of time, pretty much every media outlet started pushing casual sex as a way to go, for both men and women, and that became our new reality. Women, obviously, are pretty much more gullible than men, since it was so easy to persuade them than being a concubine to a man while also bringing home a paycheck is much more liberating than being a lawful wife whose husband has an obligation to provide for herself and her children.
Sometimes I think that women are their own worst enemy. And, before anyone starts throwing stones at me for pointing these things out, as I was asked a question, I proceeded to give my opinion, no more and no less.
Thank you. I agree that sometimes it seems that women are their own worst enemy. And that women seem to be very gullible and easily guided on anything. Why else women would have participated sexual liberation? It seems to me it really gives nothing to women, since I have understood that most women find casual sex (emotionally) unsatisfying. They just do it because they think it is a "must" in order to find a man.
ReplyDeleteWhen sexual liberation came, women obviously jumped in with both feet without thinking that by doing that, their value will suffer from great inflation. Because let's face it, people usually value more things that are harder to get. And then they complain how men do not value them enough. They have forgotten that if you want to be valued, you must have some virtue first.
You are welcome! I'd like to point out that the "progressives" orchestrated an unprecedented attack on the traditional family, and since they managed to get in charge of the educational facilities and the MSM, they were largely successful. Much as they are to blame, it doesn't take away personal responsibility since nobody was holding gun to the people forcing them to engage in "new morals." We did it ourselves to ourselves, that's the worst of it.
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, our "betters" tend to practise degenerate behaviour on a much lesser scale, for the top 20% there is much less divorce, no illegitimacy and less openly living together while unmarried. I wonder what happened to noblesse oblige and why they surrendered their duty to the society's less fortunate to the TV.
I'd also like to add that since the welfare state pretty much sponsors irresponsible behaviour on the part of both sexes, it's only natural we see more of it.
ReplyDeleteRecreational sex - that's in and it is devastating. It's just not single girls - separated mothers bringing their lovers right into her home and the kids in the same house. Women are becoming addicted to pornography at an alarming rate. Parents endorse such behaviour by having their kids bring over their boyfriends and allowing them to sleep together under their roof. Sex and love don't belong in th same sentence anymore. Women wanted all this - with it all comes STDs, unplanned pregnancies and lots of broken hearts.
ReplyDeleteI think that porn is so common nowadays because people have lost their ability to really connect and sex has become just another sport.
ReplyDeleteNowadays you almost get stoned if you say that little restraint earlier in life will be reward you later. And that works with everything; it is very beneficial if kids for example don't start eating candy when they are very young etc.
