The Atlantic has the occasional worthwhile article, but mostly it´s predictable liberal cant.

On the actual issue, I´d say that the winners and losers (on the male side) from the sexual revolution can be subdivided into a couple of camps:

Winners:

Alpha males, I.e. sexually desirable males who know how to navigate the new sexual marketplace (I.e. men who have “game”).

Losers:

Beta males, I.e. run-of-the mill men who are not quite adept at navigating the new sexual marketplace (including those poor men who actually buy into the feminist cant).

Needless to say, civilization loses out bigtime. As do most women, as feminism has the side effect of actually diminishing the supply of desirable men for women.

Charlotte Allen had a good piece on the new sexual system over at the Weekly Standard last year:

In my opinion, any discussion goes wrong at the point it identifies people living immoral lives as “winners.” This is true whether it’s a question of mating success or of financial success.

For the last several thousand years, civilization has been supported by the tendency of men to want to have a wife and family, and being willing to work hard to provide for their families. A man who is single and does not see much hope of getting a wife will work just hard enough to furnish himself with food and beer.

This whole thing rested on women NEEDING to have a husband to support and protect her, and not having a choice but to accept the best proposal she seemed likely to get before 30.

I used to enjoy pissing off the feminists where I worked in Seattle by saying, when any “sexual revolution” stuff came up, “When I want to get in touch with my feminine side, I reach for my wife. And my wife responds similarly when she wants to get in touch with her masculine side. i.e. she reaches out for me.”

It bugged them that I unapologetically was proud of my maleness with all of its strengths and weaknesses.
