I agree with you. That liberal premise is the foundation of the death of society.
Premarital sex has everything to do with bearing children out of wedlock. The consequence of that is the child abuse of fatherlessness. Fatherless males are more likely to engage in anti-social and destructive behavior and be under educated.
Separating sex from marriage and procreation is why there’s a “dating crisis”.
btw - women worldwide don’t seek mates below their class level. This isn’t new.
The “Why buy the cow when the milk is for free?” attitude has a lot to do with it.
(I do not agree with this attitude!)
Another relevant aphorism is “Women give Sex to get security; men give security to get Sex.” The security aspect takes many forms:
Lifelong commitment “before God & man”, i.e. Marriage
Long term financial support - mistress with apartment, etc.
“Dinner & a movie”
Cash at whatever the going rate is for a hooker
Physical protection from the rest of gang/tribe/mob
Cohesive cultures realized millennia ago that stable relationships between men & women were essential.
There is also that little bit about “Thou Shalt NOT Commit Adultery” that gives us a hint as to the true importance of the whole question. ;-)

Any other attempt at an explanation is a waste of time, like this article is
Any attempt to blame men or women instead of both equally is a waste of effort. It’s both they each have different reasons but it’s both
>>btw - women worldwide don’t seek mates below their class level. This isn’t new.
But that’s class level and not education level. A young woman with a studies degree and a $30k/yr job thinks that she is too good for a welder with a certificate and a $80k/yr job.
