On the contrary, this is a sober look into what happens when we take basic matters of life into our own hands.

Not really, read it and see. The author makes some pretty good points.

I think it’s pretty hard to deny that the birth control pill has brought about sex without commitment and destabilized marriages. Whether you attribute that to bad behavior by men, by women, or by both, I think it’s pretty undeniable that it’s made promiscuity mainstream and that has led to a “coarseness” in society as the author puts it.

"what libtard crapola."

Most definitely. It's not 'the pill' that has led to a self-absorbed, lonely, and unhappy society. One factor that seldom if ever gets talked about is the that well-meaning, but off-base, 'greatest generation' and baby boomer parents pushed the concept of delayed gratification to their kids. 'Don't get married too early, don't have kids too soon. Enjoy your lives, and work hard now to enjoy future success and a better life'.

The problem with that is that too many people forget to have a life, and get too wrapped up in their 'personal' success and careers, etc., such that they put off forging close loving relationships and friendships, and having children. I strongly believe in working hard, taking personal responsibility, and avoiding the need for instant gratification. However, carried to an extreme this will just leave you empty later in life.

I don’t believe that sexual behaviour has changed that much since the pill. I think that is a hopeful belief amongst some, but history proves those who believe that we have substantially changed over time are mistaken.
