Thank Separating Sex From Morality For The Great American Sexual Meltdown
The Federalist ^ | 12/6/17 | Curt Anderson

Posted on 12/07/2017 6:11:59 AM PST by x1stcav

It’s been a long time coming, but the bill is coming due for the hip and progressive sexual revolution in America. The sexual abuse and harassment sweepstakes we are witnessing today is the direct result of our society deciding that Christian morality is narrow, repressive, and above all, not cool.

If it feels good do it. Have whatever sexual relationships you want, when you want, with whoever you want. That is and has been the prevailing societal view for decades, and it permeates our music, art, film, literature, social media, and conversations. There is nothing right or wrong. Oh, sure, folks will say it is wrong to hurt other people. But the truth is, when you throw objective morality out the window, everyone gets hurt.

Exactly right. There has not been a single call for restoration of morality and virtue to protect women and children. The best the left can muster is to drive men out of the ranks of power. That is a short term palliative, at best, not a long term fix.

Society took many centuries to arrive at a social code that worked well and protected the weakest and most defenseless among us. It has all been undone in a few short decades by leftists with the goal of the complete destruction of the family and having all children turned over at birth to the State.

The situation today is preposterous. Leftists want a moral code to punish men for transgressing the moral code they themselves tore down.

Where does society from here?

Surely getting a prostitute differs in a major way from meeting a cute girl at a pub? And I highly doubt many marriages result from prostitution, that is a ridiculous premise.

Go to low places to make your future and the prospects are not good. And I do know two men who married prostitutes and have had long and happy marriages. Both of them say that is not the way to try. Those who do it that way seldom have that sort of outcome. Happy and long marriages out of bars and brothels are purely a matter of chance and the odds are long against.

Well, you are surely the lucky one. Don’t get cocky though, people want love and will look for it if they don’t have it. Just because you won the lottery doesn’t mean you had that much to do with it.

Go to churches and find all kinds of felonious activity.

But the odds are much more in your favor, especially if the persons of interest, male or female, are more than 21 years old. I did not meet my wife of 38 years in church.

“Here in MA, I would expect women to give two responses to this:

1) “I don’t need your protection you pathetic worm!”
2) “You don’t know what it’s like being a woman and always being victimized in every situation by people who are bigger, and more powerful! Waaaaaaaaah!”

Pendulum has swung opposite direction. When was last time a woman casually laid her hand on ye olde wedding tackle or played footsie under the table? Same here. No wonder sex robots are flying off the shelves!

Never was a playa but I dreamed about it.

We're all prone to stray, whether you want to call it original sin or biological imperative. People are drawn to beauty and power and biological diversity. We're hard-wired to reproduce or go extinct, yet monogamy and family stability are survival traits as well.

The war goes on daily, even here on FR. For every time we complain about one outrage, we excuse another.

For every "Did the woman accuse a man with political convictions I support? Liar and Bimbo!"

There is a "Was the Teacher Hot? Not guilty!"

And I don't excuse myself.

“The feminists are merely engaging in a power grab.”

Or more specifically an opportunity for more male bashing and pushing the meme of “toxic masculinity”. This sudden reversal by feminazis to demand puritanism in men while promoting and defending “slut walking” and hooking up by women is nothing more than an attempt to emasculate and control men’s nature while giving women license to act irresponsibility.

In other words feminists want to dictate every minutiae of men’s behavior while allowing women total freedom and no responsibility.

The real irony is that those who separated sex and morality are now trying to make them one and the same.....can’t make this crap up....

Here is the point: No one knows the ways of God and when people on here start getting on their high horses about “morality” and “God’s law”, they need to know they don’t know

Of course they know and so do you or you wouldn't object to the obvious. The Ten Commandments are a good starting point to understanding God's will.

I seem to recall that some years ago the inventor of ‘the pill’ thought it had been a mistake.

Apparently 50,000 women a year fail to use them even though they are free.

Me too

I got into a relationship with a woman with a kid when I was early 20s

It was awkward and I wasn’t the kid lover yet I grew to be around 29-30

She raised that boy eventually by herself after her husband had split

Typically in my youth and my between time I preferred women with no kids

First time cause I wasn’t ready for it

Second cause I had two already and wanted more of my own

Selfish patriarchal ways I confess

I would never have one nighter or shacked up with a woman with kids there

Never

I didn’t want them to see a strange man in mommy bed

People today could care less

It’s no more a deal than a good meal

It’s wrong

When I met my second wife we never spent the night in front of my daughters

We snuck off

Which was fun actually.....

Great post and all very true. I think men above 30 just start being able to accept another woman’s children. I think it is just natural. That’s why it is so dangerous to have teenage men and men in their twenties around your child unless and until you really get to know them. And even then you must be cautious. By the way the sneaking off sounds fun LOL
