Me believes the author of this peice planned the entire article around making this statement. It certainly makes a point. But it is out of place for the tenor, context and tempo of the rest of the article. I may need to read it again to understand if the author was building on innuendo prior to the money quote.
BTW - I do not dissagree with the author.
Yes, the Sexual Revolution that supposedly empowered women liberated men far more. Women are now expected to ‘put out’ on the first date. Ladies, any man who expects this is not worth the time you are spending on him. Wake up young women and value yourselves more than the ‘liberated’ women of the 60’s and beyond!
