"Feminism was the ultimate swerve. When women began misunderstanding the dynamics between the sexes, enough of them began giving guys what we wanted all along - shallow physical relationships that were short to medium term, easy to get into and out of, and on top of it all we didn't have to go through hoops of decorum in order to get access to sexy women's sexual goodies."

it would be a mistake to blame these conditions on women wanting equality, rather it is plainly obvious that [promiscuity is a result of a moral vacuum created by the new generations leaving behind family values and Christian principles of fidelity and chastity. It has nothing to do with misunderstanding between the genders.

I think the problem is that it wasn't enough to get equality and that the mandate quickly became with some folks to ape men as much as they could. Anything 'feminine' was regarded as inferior, anything 'masculine' - that is, anything men do - was considered something to mimic. While all women who self identify as feminists don't think this way, enough did (and do).

I say mimic because that's what it is - a shallow imitation in most cases. It didn't serve to satisfy the women and rather than approach it as an opportunity to get insight in how the sexes could be different and yet have the same flexibility to pursue careers, for instance.

The fact that enough women give away their sexual goodies even though they expect a pitifully low standard of conduct from the men in their lives (at least in comparison to the standard of conduct expected in 1890, 1910, 1930, 1950, etc) does have something to do with general decline in morals, it also has to do with a fundamental misunderstanding of what they really want in a relationship.

So it has a lot to do with the sexes (not genders) not making any effort to know their sex, and the opposite sex. Since I make an effort to know my sex, and the opposite sex, and only hang around with people who do, we all tend to do pretty well.
