@Threadbane @Radical_EgoCom @siderea @Marshie I won't deny the pill changed women's sexual behavior, and gained the liberty to have more one night encounters. But in places where abortion was legal (and back then, there were parts of the country where it was), I'm sure they saw brisk business from said women. And condoms existed at the time as well, though men no doubt rarely availed themselves of it. I don't want the sexual revolution to be slandered as it didn't make things more bad, it simply made things more visible. Rape happened in marriages, out of marriages, and lots of women who simply couldn't go to an abortion clinic were saddled with an unwanted child no doubt traumatized being raised by a mother they knew didn't want them. Kids can tell.

At any rate, the attitudes men had toward women were pre-existing. All that happened is that it became more visible, more explicit, and less veiled from polite society.

I know you sort of lived that period, but I would caution you. You are repeating deplorable talking points about the sexual revolution, slandering and libeling it.
