It's very important that conservatives try to understand what fuels these destructive movements (and stop looking at the past so idyllically). The clamor for "sexual freedom" and "no fault divorce" (both of which benefitted men more than women, but whoever said feminazis were smart) found its roots in human tendencies that have been with us since Adam and Eve.

How many husbands in the "good old days" felt as trapped as the husband in "Willoughby" ? How many drowned their emptiness in double martinis ? If that husband had been around in 1968 wouldn't he have dropped out, dumped his greedy wife and his high-pressure job and written the great American novel on Venice Beach with some groovy young chickie ?

Feminism did not trigger the divorce boom. It was husbands who felt, with some reason, that the marriage contract of 1945-1970 had to be revised in their favor because...

1. The stay at home wife's labor was unnecessary.
2. She was more consumer than producer.
3. Sex was cheap and plentiful outside of marriage.
