JReighley: Sex Liberation Hurt Women

JReighley: I don’t think anyone would doubt that the number of lifetime sexual partners that women have today is probably significantly higher than it was in the 40’s , 50’s or 60’s … If we ask why, Do we really think that it is because they wanted to have all of those lovers? Or is it because it was culturally expected of them? I think most women crave long term romantic relationships.. But in order to get that they feel they need to perform, or somebody else will. In general, “sexual liberation” has been oppressive to women. In the worst way. And it has enabled men. Call me a geezer if you want. But I think that the old fashioned “married for better or for worse” is much more respectful than the cultural gang rape that we accept as normal today.

Question: Did the sexual liberation hurt or help women?
