Puritans

We know Freepers are not fans of giving women the vote. So I suppose the sexual revolution is not good in their book. But women being free to get jobs, sex for pleasure, marriage for love, all these things are pretty popular. So Freepers get all angry, but keep it unclear as to why:

yldstrk rails against drinking, smoking, and adultery!

This country badly needs divorce reform so that people cannot commit to serial monogamy as a way of life
One husband to one wife needs to become the ideal.
The idea that “it’s all good” needs to stop. Drug use/abuse is not good. Smoking cigarettes is not good. Alcoholism is not good. Sex outside of marriage is not good. Friends with benefits is not good.

Serial monogamy? That's a thing?

yldstrk puts on his monocle and follows up with a comment about the Kinsey sex study:

Upon my word, that is completely revolting and disgusting.

ken21 knows who to blame!

fdr on steroids.

?? I mean, I guess he cheated on his wife, but...???

ctdonath2 doubles down on not making sense:

It’s not a revolution, it’s a marketing strategy.

Emerson C brings the history!

In the early days of that Bolshevik regime, sex was ‘liberated’, divorce by demand, contraception and abortion on demand, homosexuality deciminalized. By 1929 the Soviet Union became the hardest place in the world to get a divorce. In 1932, homosexuality was recriminalized as ‘social menace’. In 1936, abortion was outlawed and access to contraception became more restricted. Why did the Soviet regime do this? Was it because their leaders had starting reading the Bible, or reading Papal Encyclical letters? No, they simply realized that (apart from the ravages of Marxist ‘economics’) Russian society faced total demographic collapse.
Just as obscure theses are now written about the Mattachine movement in France in the 18th Century, so we will see, at the end of the 21st Century books will be wriiten about the rise and fall of the gay movement.

Wow, that correlation has convinced me - sexual freedom comes at such a price! It's amazing America has survived this long!

  1. I don't understand the last guy. He's saying that the communist Soviet Union had it right all along?

    How do conversatives continue to preach FREEDOM in one breath, and then advocate the banning of homosexuality, divorce, abortion, and contraception in the other breath?

  2. Simple, by arguing externalities just like liberals do. But very selectively.

    They say that 'immorality' has social cost, and so should be banned.

    Polluting, fucking the poor, selling a product that kills people? That stuff doesn't hurt anyone!
