Feminists Against the Sexual Revolution

Late modernity has inherited a revolutionary spirit, and sex is the easiest place to see that spirit and its costs. The harms of the Sexual Revolution are rampant: Dating culture has collapsed; hookup culture is unsatisfying; the decline in marriage and birth rates have become a rallying cry for policymakers and conservatives alike. Such realities point to fundamental elements of natural law, as sexual desire is a powerful force of human civilization and requires a strong institution to channel that desire in healthy, procreative ways. The only such institution proven over millennia to provide such a channel is marriage.
