Just because its old, doens't mean its wrong.

Maybe it was right for a different world. That world doesn't exist anymore though, and it's never coming back no matter how much conservatives try to knee jerk us into the 19th century.

  The world might have changed, but human nature and sexuality have not. We're still the same damn species, so the same rules apply.

    Human sexuality is 100% culture dependent though. There are tribes where people are promiscuous, and tribes where men have multiple wives, and both of those traditions definitely predate rigid monogamy. Human nature is people want to have sex, and will form lasting relationships for mutual benefit.

    Ideas of human sexuality are ones shaped and formed by the culture they are within, which can change even in short timelines. Unless you like the idea that the warlord gets all the women and you get nothing?

  It seems like several different things are getting intertwined here and people are arguing past each other based on perceived "sides" and largely imagined positions being projected onto one another. You can have gender equality and feminism without casual sex. Many young people today, both male and female, feel like the current system they're embedded in is frustrating and unfulfilling. Everyone's personal preferences are equally valid. We should accept that people who express unease or unhappiness with the current dominant cultural norms pressed upon them have legitimate feelings, rather than attack and insult them by suggesting their desires belong in "the 19th century".

    Insults on conservative viewpoints are par for course. This one was pretty mild as things go. I think the insults themselves have lessened the effectiveness of the message that people are attempting to convey, effectively dulling their voice to an entire generation of people who are may have a different opinion.

  Based on demographic trends, it’s actually coming back. Not sure how people miss this.
