This seems to me to be a very jaded view of male-female relationships.
It seems to me that it is from a very narrow point of view as well.
It isn’t jaded, and rather than narrow, it is looking at the history of courting rather than the narrow view of the last 40 years only.
What do you think drove courting and dating methods for centuries, and why do you think it changed so much in the 1970s?
What could return things to what they were before the 70s?
Making sex a one way street for men again, like it was throughout history, that would make the females come up with a new way to maintain equilibrium, my guess is that they would revert back to the old ways of restraint, and control over their sexual favors.
Contraception made sex very cheap for men and women, but left the ultimate choice for reproduction with women. Many women use this as a way to get money, control, or just fit in (my wife teaches high school, and the latter is a big factor).
What is interesting is the article talks of the resulting cost to marriage. It leaves the pool of marriable men rather small for most women, while the dating or hook up pool is very large. And most of the time, the two pools don't over lap.
It is the article “Bitter Pill”.
