I tend to agree with you that young females of today are more promiscuous than they were even when I was in high school in the mid 80s. It used to be that there were a few “sluts” that made the rounds. I don’t know why males weren’t given the same label. My sons have told me that at their high school, about 70%+ of the girls are promiscuous. Their high school is made up of a majority minority population if that makes any sense. hah While there was shame involved when I was in high school, there does not seem to be any shame with the majority of these girls.
My mother’s generation (graduated from high school in mid 50s) was a lot less promiscuous. Of the four women in my childhood neighborhood who were the exact age as my mother, including my mother, I think it is safe to say that all of them were one man women for their entire lives. Only one is still living, and she married at 16 after eloping. :-) She is 76. That’s not to say that all four women had happy marriages. But we’re not talking promiscuous men . . .
Hubby and I were discussing this topic. He brought up the subject of money. Sex was tied to commitment and money. I’m sure my mother was taught to wait for religious reasons. And that the man she chose had better be able to support her. Her grandmother pushed her to graduate from college so she would be able to support herself if her man let her down. It was good instruction since my mother married a man 20 years older than she was. Other than my father being divorced, and that was not a subject discussed in my house, I cannot think of more than a few of my friends who had divorced parents. Maybe there were some divorces after we graduated from high school. I have a lot of friends from childhood who are divorced or will be soon. It is a different mindset for sure. There is a lot of Me-centric attitude today.
We used to call promiscuous men rakes and expect them to be responsible for spawn....even if bastard.
It is to some degree a double standard based mostly just because discretion and chastity are more valued in women than men....and women bear the fruit.
I think women today are rather unhappy....nothing has worked out...not promiscuity...not career....not competing with men.....not having a pliant hubby and so forth
Strong bright passionate women don’t need some hipster mamas boy who will let them drive
They need Steve McQueen meets John Wayne or Lee Marvin...a stronger man to envelope them and give them security but not cower or be intimidated by a head strong gal
Nor can girls do the sleep around thing like men....inevitably their heart will enter into it....its their nature and reflective of the invasive intimacy that is at the center of it all..
The only women I have ever seen content for simply sex for sex sake have been married mommy type women ignored by their husbands and made to feel undesirable at home and just thrilled to feel desired again
Otherwise girls can’t help getting attached to who they sleep with pretty fast
Males can indeed....keep it sexual only...which is lamentable
I believe we did not have the customs we had since Mt Sinai by accident
But because...largely they worked
That younger freepers think women were always this loose is the zaniest notion I have ever seen here
Given the fact that unlike them I was there seems to have little effect on their heartfelt canards
Truly amazing
Women are likely 30-40 times more likely to have sex in high school now than in 1949
My mom told me maybe 2 girls out of 40 in her sr class lost their virginity then before marriage
My folks engaged in 51...married after dad finished VMI in 55
No sex...but as mom said...extremely heavy petting
It was different world...not perfect but far better than now esp for kids
This is a major diversion from leftism
They view that era as evil. Sexist and oppressive
