Why the sexual revolution has been a disaster for women today - but a gift for men: The provocative thesis of feminist author LOUISE PERRY whose passionately argued insights will spark fierce debate
UK Daily Mail ^ | May 27, 2022 | Louise Perry

When Emma Watson, the film star and women’s rights campaigner, was criticised for showing her breasts on the cover of Vanity Fair, she hit back by asserting ‘feminism is about giving women choice.

It’s about freedom’. For liberal feminists like her that might be true.

But for many other women — perhaps a sizeable majority — that freedom has spectacularly backfired. It has turned out to be a lie and a con.

Rather than women being emancipated sexually, in the digital age we have become a society in thrall to the worst of male sexuality.

Feminism lowered the bar by giving women the choice to make many bad decisions. Loser men have taken advantage, big time. Genie is out of the bottle.

Thanks to abortion in Europe, barbarian muzzies are quickly overwhelming Christian society, and native birthrates are well-below replacement.

The so-called right to abort means one generation can ‘off the next generation and with it, our republic.

America is missing some 65+ million citizens; in their stead, we are inundated with third worlders incapable of assuming the
burdens of republican self-government.

It hasn’t helped men either, unless your goal for life is just having lots of sex. Most guys mature out of any wild-oats phase.

If you don’t, you’re going to be sorry when you’re old.

The ‘available’ women were out there and the men moved like electricity-taking the path of least resistance. Lowest common denominator in all our behavior was the result. I remember a 59 year old widow-average looking. All she got was guys calling on a Saturday-drunk-checking out their prospects at getting laid.

With hindsight being 20-20 it’s no fun looking back at all the things that transpired in this environment. Embarrassed and ashamed? The guilt is out there if one has a conscience.

Analogy: Tearing down the statues of the famous + gay marriage. It’s structural institutions being attacked and questioned. The faster the better. Will civilization continue? We survived wars so we’ll all toodle along.

Feminism was created to separate the sexes, and destroy the natural dignity of the female.

It carved out a cultural pathway for women to emulate male behavior in regard to sex, by ignoring our natural, biologically driven differences. It undermined and eventually eroded the trust between men and women that historically led to courtship, marriage, and stable families.

It was no accident. The New World Order cannot be realized if men and women fall in love, marry and have happy, well-adjusted offspring. So society and culture had to be distorted to reflect what would become the new reality, which is distrust and discord between the sexes, the distortion of male and female.

The article makes the case that the sexual revolution has been a disaster for women. It should also be acknowledged that it has had the same effect on those men who love and respect women. For them, it has created confusion and uncertainty. A terrible, but intentional, state of affairs.

Society is driven by what women demand from men.

Correction: society is driven by what men are motivated to provide for women. Crucial difference. Men are not being motivated by the current crop of women.

>>feminism is about giving women choice<<

Women want the freedom to make their own choices.

And for the men around them to be obligated to save them from all the bad choices they make.

The idea of marrying a woman with VD from multiple relationships was disgusting to me. Very few women hadn’t slept around, and I hadn’t, either.

It took years to find the woman who became my wife. We were both in that same boat, and, thankfully, we were, and are, Christians.

I can’t imagine worrying about getting herpes and crud from the person I was interested in, then possibly having her leave me, as she had all those guys she previously wanted and spent her purity with, if I committed to her.

I am sure the same holds in reverse, for women looking for men to marry.

Promiscuous people don’t make good long-time partners.

In the past there were lots of promiscuous men but in today’s world there are lots of promiscuous women to join them.

There are still lots of decent people of both sexes wanting to find a suitable partner, but today’s world has made it much harder for them to find each other.

That certainly is a corollary, the point that without the motivation of attracting a mate, men won’t aspire. If any loser guy can still get laid, then why should he try harder to improve himself.

More and more that “choice” is going lesbo.

Feminists are the poster child of stupidity and naivete.

They managed to make one of their most valuable commodities in the eyes of men, their sex, worthless, by giving it away for free.

They have done a huge disservice to women, the family and the children... and thus, society.

Any male that thinks he’s a winner in this isn’t a man.

Part of the attraction of women is their mystery and modesty. When they try to be coarse or vulgar, or act like a player, it both demeans and confers trashiness upon them. And like it or not, women more often than not want to be valued and adored no matter how hard they pretend to be “like a man”. The effect of free sex and one night stands on women is vastly different, despite what the feminists insist is simply freedom.

In the past there were lots of promiscuous men but in today’s world there are lots of promiscuous women to join them.

A man generally only got the opportunity to be promiscuous if he was in the top 10-20% of desirable men (tall, handsome, self confident, witty). It was the fact of more women becoming promiscuous that broke civilization.

In the past, the desirable men could pair of with an equally desirable woman. Today, a desirable man can rotate through a stable of second-tier women, each of whom is desperately trying to please him enough to get him to commit to her. But second tier women won't get commitment from a first tier man.

Eventually the second tier women will "settle" for a second tier man, or acquire a bunch of cats.

Men don't like thinking they got another man's leftovers.
