Why the sexual revolution has been a disaster for women

I wonder what people's thoughts are on this article?

I've been thinking about this for a while, reflecting on my own views and experiences when younger and many of the threads I see on here now, from younger women unhappy with dating or fwb situations, or men who won't commit.

It's interesting she uses the line about sex having become separate from reproduction, which is something I've heard the USA right wing commentators make.

While the pill and access to abortion have undoubtedly allowed women expanded opportunity because we can now control our reproductive choices, do we need to recognise some of the negative aspects of this in our relationships with men which has led to a hypersexualising of women and lack of men's responsibility around sex?

I'd be interested in people's perspectives on this.

Hello! We thought some of you might be interested in this Ask Me Anything with Louise Perry about her book 'The Case Against the Sexual Revolution' that we opened yesterday. Louise will be coming onto the thread tomorrow and Friday to answer questions.
