This shoots the movie “Love Actually” between the eyes where a young Brit’s goal is go to America for an easy lay. He should’ve looked in his own backyard.

"How exactly is any of this empowering for women?" indeed!

“empowering for women”
in the modern world, women are at the whim of men like NEVER before.
just like how, it always makes me laugh how “women’s liberation” got most traction after the INCOME TAX was invented. Yes women, work 3/4 of your lives away, pay taxes to the government, don’t see your family, now you’re “liberated”

The teen-pregnancy rate is soaring and is the second highest in the world behind the United States, a UNICEF study found. I find this highly unlikely. The USA may lead the world among industrialized nations, but there's no way it is the overall winner. (If that's the right word.)

Researchers say Britain's ranking is empowering for women because it means they now are as able as men to engage in no-strings sex. Isn't there one minor difference? I mean, the last time I checked, it was the woman who got pregnant. Just another sign that British culture is swirling down the toilet.

Don't worry - the muslims will take care of this problem...

It’s as pro-woman as the “feminization of poverty” and as pro-sex as the clap.

In fact, Muslims ARE taking care of this problem. In areas with high Muslim populations the illegitimacy rates are lower. It's the ethnic Brits who are shagging themselves out of existence.

Somebody post the link to the article about the differences between a Swedish and a British party.
Couldn’t the increase in teen pregnancy also be related to yute stupidity and laziness.
To: chuck_the_tv_out
As a man, I find it hard to come out against lots of women willing to have no-strings sex.

And predictably, single mothers and their children continue to suffer from some of the worst social and cultural pathologies. This is one of the points that Ann Coulter makes in her new book "Guilty".
The ladies on The View tried to take her apart on this point. They thought it was a terrible, terrible thing to say. But the facts are out there. Statistically, the odds are against these women and their children. Liberalism has cost them dearly.

Another piece of collateral damage to the whole casual sex thing is that it trains people to use each other. Don't bother courting, respecting each other, doing for each other, or even valuing the other person.....it's all about using the other person for your own temporary pleasure.
I was a child in the 1970s and the pervasiveness of the tacky sexuality going on then made a huge impression on me.

Yet another social trend that pretends to “empower” women but in fact destroys them. Men are pigs by nature. It should not surprise anyone that we’re glad to support putting more mud in the barnyard. Marriage civilizes men and keeps women from being used. Ask a 45 year old barfly how empowered she feels.

Great paper, but they do have their facts wrong:
From the St. Petersburg Times:
The abortion rate in Russia - though declining rapidly over the past decade - was still the highest among the surveyed countries at 139 abortions per 100 live births in 2002, the last year considered in the UNICEF report. In 1993, the abortion rate peaked at 235 per 100 live births.

Researchers say Britain's ranking is empowering for women because it means they now are as able as men to engage in no-strings sex. In other words, nobody gets to be the grownup.
