Did The Sexual Revolution Actually Benefit Women? - Mary Eberstadt | Modern Wisdom 698

The video is about the impact of the sexual revolution on women and men. The speaker, Mary Eberstadt, argues that the biggest winners of the sexual revolution have been predatory men, while the biggest losers have been romance men who are not predatory and women and children. She believes that the movement, which promised to give women more freedom and control over their bodies, ended up making women the victims of a culture that decoupled sex from marriage and family. Eberstadt has written two books on the topic, "Adam and Eve After the Pill" and "Adam and Eve After the Pill Revisited," which explore the paradoxical fallout of the sexual revolution.

The speaker, Mary Eberstadt, argues that the biggest winners of the sexual revolution have been predatory men, while the biggest losers have been romance men who are not predatory and women and children. Eberstadt believes that the sexual revolution has led to a sharp rise in divorce rates and cohabitation, and has increased abortion rates.

The Sexual Revolution and Marriage

• The early 1960s before most people listening were born, there was a lot of hope about the advent of the birth control pill.
• It was believed that the pill would strengthen marriage by empowering couples to have control over their fertility.
• However, within a few years of the adoption of widespread hormonal contraception, instead of strengthening marriage, there was a sharp rise in divorce rates.
• Cohabitation became more common instead of the pill reducing abortion.
• Abortion rates skyrocketed into the millions within a few years of the same cultural change.

The Sexual Revolution and Abortion

• Contraception does not reduce abortion.
• Contraception increases abortion by changing intentionality.
• Pregnancy is no longer seen as a problem for two people but rather a woman's problem.
• The adoption of contraception effectively ended the "shotgun wedding".
• The effect of this change on men is something that needs to be talked about.

• The immediate gratification of our based desires is not the best for women.

• Feminism took a wrong turn after the 1960s and stopped putting women first.

The Reduction in Men's Standards

• The sexual marketplace is flooded with potentially available partners, which reduces the incentives for men to settle down with any single partner.
• This puts a major barrier into marriage and hence having children within marriage.
• Men need to meet a pretty thorough set of criteria to get sex, which includes being an upstanding member of society with a good job and being well known in the local community.
• The reduction in men's standards is partly at the feet of the reduction in what women ask in order for men to be able to get access to sex.

The Lowering of Standards for Both Sexes

• There has been a lowering of the standards for both sexes.
• The biggest problem is that men are not being given their due, including the privilege of protecting a woman and children.
• The idea that this is even a privilege is dangerously close to being lost in our culture.
• Instead of being given things to live up to and strive for, millions of young men are involved in pornography, which is game over for romance.
