A feminist is right about the Sexual Revolution being a train wreck. As usual, though, she blames men for everything. All of her advice about the risks men pose to women could easily work the other way around. Someone needs to write the MRA response to this essay.

I don't disagree with her at all.

Sexual asymmetry is profoundly important: One half of the population is smaller and weaker than the other half, making it much more vulnerable to violence. This half of the population also carries all of the risks associated with pregnancy. It is also much less interested in enjoying all of the delights now on offer in the post-sexual revolution era.

Her prescriptions make perfect sense for the 13 to 25 year old women she's referring to.

For men, unless you aspire to be a playboy, be careful around young women. One false sexual assault allegation can ruin your life. If a woman wants you to be chivalrous, expect her to be respectful towards you and other men in her life.

She is just another typical feminist: takes no responsibility for anything and blames men for everything.

The fact is that women are 100% responsible for the hook-up culture. This is what women wanted. Women choose who gets dates and sex, and therefore they are 100% responsible for the current situation between men and women.

When it comes to dating and sex, women set the terms and men adapt to them. Therefore, women are the only ones who can change the situation, but they are never going to do that because it means that they have to fuck men that are not in the top 20%.

She’s basically arguing that being the gate keepers of sex advantages women and gives them power over men, but the sexual revolution reduces women’s power. Her entire argument is about women having power over men.
While we’ve had a sexual revolution of sorts, the most recent trend is for men to date less, have less sex and marry less. Many women are now complaining they can’t find a good man as a result. Her article and similar ones ignore this side of the issue. Being the gate keepers of sex can indeed help women have control, but it can also backfire, with some men simply electing to opt out. This makes it harder for women to find a “good man” (provider).

Her premise that the sexual revolution is bad for women directly implies that women don't make good decisions. All the sexual revolution did is lift restrictions on sexual choice. Her "advice list" at the end is irrelevant. There's nothing inherent in the sexual revolution that means women can't make certain choices. One example of this is:

A man who is aroused by violence is a man to steer well clear of, whether or not he uses the vocabulary of BDSM to excuse his behavior. If he can maintain an erection while beating a woman, he isn’t safe to be alone with.

But she completely ignores that there are a bunch of women who are specifically into this sort of man. In fact, women seem to be into this way more than men:

Porn featuring violence against women is also extremely popular among women. It is far more popular among women than men. I hate saying that because misogynists seem to love this fact. Fantasy life isn't always politically correct.

First of all, there is the fact that women are much more likely to commit violence against their partners than men, so her premise that men into BDSM is the big threat here is pretty laughable.

But if women don't make good decisions, then the only logical conclusion is to put men in charge of women's decisions. A patriarchy, if you will. That's what "no sexual revolution" means. If women made good decisions, then I don't see how sexual revolution would be a problem for women.

Feminists are always complaining about pointless small stuff.

Let them.

There are more and more articles in which women write that feminism has brought a lot of bad things to society and the idealogy of equality has wandered somewhere and that it divides us instead. I I still can't comprehend how feminists come up with the concept of rape culture permanent, writing it permanently in society, literally writing the concept of normalizing rape as it would be normal practice and not harming someone.

It's actually quite a reasonable article written by someone who has started to grow up a bit late. Her suggested advice to young girls is also very sensible.

However she also insists that she is still a feminist while also saying "Monogamous marriage is by far the most stable and reliable foundation on which to build a family." She obviously has yet to understand the seriously dark side of feminism and simply ignores it when she reads those feminists militating for the destruction of the family as they have been doing for many decades.

Her solipsism has also led her to believe things like: "What women need is the freedom to behave as men have always behaved, enjoying all the pleasures of casual sex, porn, BDSM, and indeed any other sexual delight that the human mind can dream up." Who were men having this casual sex with?
