Sexual Liberation Oppresses Women?

[Bob Brab]

Men were infinitely more responsible for women's greater sexual freedom than feminists were. Most prominent feminists of that time were far from "sex positive" feminists.

It was men who developed the contraceptive pill. It was men who pressured women to take the pill. It was men who created all of the incentives for women to go toward the pill. It was men as well as women who wanted to diminish the risk of pregnancy. You could argue that men actually cared about preventing pregnancy more than women who were much of the time wanting to get pregnant so they can get married and escape their parents.

Feminists jumped on sexual liberation as a way to win the favor of more people who were buying into the "men are pigs and rapists" nonsense. It was PR and nothing more.

As far as having sex without thinking of the consequences goes, I think that this supposed double standard and sex positive feminists are somewhat to blame. Just look at these slut walks all over the US. Celebrating being slutty.

Guys don't high five each other for having sex with lots of different women. Guys who do that are viewed as creepy by most people. Feminists complaining about this double standard are ignoring the reality that men live in. And as a result they rationalize and enable this self destructive behavior.
