my thoughts are "duh, yes this is what weve been talking about for years" excellent though lol

this comment in the article made me think the author might be retarded though "marriage rates in the US are down. Like, worse than the Dow!"...you probably want to check if the Dow is at the highest point in history before you say that. lol

This seems pretty obvious, though I'm not entirely sure how I feel about that reality. I'm thankful for the pill and all other forms of birth control. Are we meant to take from this that birth control shouldn't have ever happened because of what it's done to our dating market? Also, should I care about sluts? I made sure I had value well above my vagina, and was able to find a quality man who is grossed out by women who throw it around all over town. The existence of sluts didn't make things harder for me. Am I a traitor to my "sisters" that are negatively affected by the current market by not giving a crap? These are questions I've been mulling over for awhile, and I'm not sure about the organization that made this video because it seemed like it could have easily come from an anti-birth control religious group. Maybe I'm reading into it in a way they didn't intend.

It assumes that women want marriage and men want sex. This is an assumption that actually has it backwards for people in their 20s. The real fact is that men want marriage in their 20s, but the ones still single in their 30s tend to want sex instead. Women, on the other hand, want sex in their 20s, but the ones still single in their 30s start wanting marriage.

I am pro birth control, but I'm not pro female-only birth control. I think it's important, especially in a society like ours where it's hard enough to make enough money to support oneself, let alone at least two people (not including kids). With kids, it becomes more difficult to "stay afloat," and many of us (myself included) find ourselves wanting to strive to give our children a better life than we were given. The major reason I wanted a bigger pay was so that I could support my future children better than my parents had done for me.

Although, this video (and its summary and analysis) are very correct and obvious. Birth control has cheapened the sex market by a fair amount, but even for women who can't afford it, they still engage in a lot of sex. They either fall back on condoms or the pull out method, though. So there are, of course, other factors at play to cheapen sex, like the fact we're renouncing the idea that virginity is important and that sex is a precious thing not to be taken lightly.
