The other half of the equation is the fact that men are no longer required to get married to have sex. The women give it away, and a guy can have sex with a different women every night if he so desires.

This points to one of the most moronic aspects of feminism. Feminists told women they would gain power by being sexually liberated but what the feminists really did was destroy one of the real powers women had. Supply and demand. Under the old system women could control men by limiting the availability of sex. Under the old system women controlled a biological need, like a water supply. That's real power. The sexual liberation movement was great for the demanders, but the suppliers lost control and power in the process.

BINGO!!!

But you should see the insults I get when I state this obvious fact. I've had Freepers accuse me of being myopic, of wanting to keep woman barefoot, pregnant, and in the kitchen (the keeping them pregnant part sounds kind of fun), and of being the product of Amish school.

You miss the point.

You're focusing on the tactics, but missing the strategy. The left was more than willing to lose a battle in order to win the war. Turning what was truly best for women into a virtual sacrificial pawn was a small price to pay for the ultimate goals.

Look around you, and you'll see that the radical feminist core no longer advises women on how to enjoy relationships with men at all. The radical feminist left is under the control of radical lesbians, and increasingly larger numbers of "liberated" women are steered in that direction.

It was a fairly vanilla example of hegelianism. By first advocating a way of life that was guaranteed to create hurt, resentment, and frustration, they were then poised to fix the blame on the "oppressor class", and then present their "solution".

The end game is the destruction of trust between men and women, as each gender is shoehorned into the desired role: for men, "the oppressor", and for women, "the oppressed".

It's not about "making women happy". It's not about "equal right for women". It's about class warfare. And the reason it's about class warfare will be evident to anyone who's examined communist doctrine.
