ah, illogic

From "Not-So-Free Love" by Lisa Fabrizio, The American Spectator (I really think this speaks for itself but let's just compare Fabrizio's "women who have become the very sex objects they despised" with Ariel Levy's definition of Female Chauvinist Pigs: "women who make sex objects of other women and of themselves." My whole next column is devoted to this so I won't belabor it here, but could all this be because . . . there are circumstances where women want to be sex objects? Oh, no, the HORROR! We hate ourselves sooooooooo much, don't we? That must be it! Or maybe, applying an ounce of reality and common sense to the situation and realizing that "women" is a pretty useless category in terms of describing the behavior/desires of millions of vastly diverse people, it's just some women who hate their fellow females and the ways they want to live out their sexuality, perhaps? My money's on that. But then again, maybe I just want to make a sex object of myself and then despite myself - or both at once. That's probably it, my bad. Time to put on my burlap sack because clearly, wanting to look good is not okay. Back to my lovely enslavement - and yes, if I ever actually write my book Sexual Freedom for All, I will be using that line for sure.)

Kinsey's report reduced human sexuality to that of brutish beasts; unrestrained by passe marriage vows, more like animals than civilized men. Hefner packaged the concept that separated sexual pleasure from love and marriage, and sold it as entertainment. It is no coincidence that when he launched his empire, its symbol was a rabbit.

The results? The quest for sexual "freedom" has enslaved many millions; women who have become the very sex objects they despised, men who are in the clutches of pornography addiction, and children who are now the sexual targets of the monsters created by the free-love Frankenstein.

Thanks to the great liberation of the sexual act from religious, marital love, we have mothers killing their unborn children, fathers abandoning many who survive, sexually-transmitted diseases and now, a movement telling us that more rampant, procreation-less sex should be recognized as marriage.

Promoters of gay marriage are fond of touting the current divorce rate in defense of their claim that their particular idea of matrimony couldn't tarnish it any further. As if sex-for-its-own-sake is the cure for the dissolution of marriage instead of one of its root causes.
