I think this video says it all. Relieving both men and women from the natural consequences of their actions reduces them to children and lets them never grow up.
That's very insightful! The whole modern world is fleeing responsibility. Everything is someone else's fault but that means that it is everyone's fault for there is no "someone else."
Being an adult means taking responsibility for your actions which requires you to reflect and make conscious decisions in the light of adult understandings. In a world of universal adolescence there are no adult actions, only a response to passions and appetites, a reduction to a subhuman animal nature.
At 1:08, the young lady also says "women will be women when men hold them to the right standards". This reciprocity is important and really shouldn't be omitted. Actually I think men will be men and women will be women when each decides that they have inherent dignity that's independent of the opinion of the other gender.
A few days ago I published the following on Facebook. I meant it to be a tongue-in-cheek slap at modern (im)moral standards:
TIME TO START THE RULE BOOK: Infallible rules for guys for staying single There are many rules, in no particular order.
Rule #1: NEVER be alone with ANY woman in a private place Corollary: except blood kin: mom, sister, grandma, etc. ... Rule #2: Tell her absolutely NO SEX of ANY kind until the wedding night. Corollary 1: there WILL be at least a full year's engagement. Corollary 2: this engagement period WILL include at least six months' marriage preparation under the auspices of your church, churches, or shul.
I got two "likes," both from middle-aged married women, be it noted.
