“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”
As a man, I find it hard to come out against lots of women willing to have no-strings sex.

Consequences of Artificial Methods17. Responsible men can become more deeply convinced of the truth of the doctrine laid down by the Church on this issue if they reflect on the consequences of methods and plans for artificial birth control. Let them first consider how easily this course of action could open wide the way for marital infidelity and a general lowering of moral standards. Not much experience is needed to be fully aware of human weakness and to understand that human beings—and especially the young, who are so exposed to temptation—need incentives to keep the moral law, and it is an evil thing to make it easy for them to break that law. Another effect that gives cause for alarm is that a man who grows accustomed to the use of contraceptive methods may forget the reverence due to a woman, and, disregarding her physical and emotional equilibrium, reduce her to being a mere instrument for the satisfaction of his own desires, no longer considering her as his partner whom he should surround with care and affection.
Humanae Vitae (1968)
There is a college “ethic” that posits “friends with benefits.” During sex, women tend to bond more than men do with their mate. When the “friends with benefits” relationship ages, the co-ed is left without a friend (he has become more whether she sees it or not) and with no benefits (the sex no longer thrills because she realizes she is being used). The new co-eds are not called freshmen; they are called “fresh meat.” How liberating.
encourages us to get involved.
