Society as a whole (i.e. we) suffers.<br /><br />I haven't read Hymowitz's book, but it was curious to me from these 2 essays that she doesn't seem to put much blame on the sexual revolution. Does anyone outside of Christian circles ever consider that women should stop having non-marital sex? I think this is a much bigger factor than women's education & career success . . . successful women don't prevent (serious) Christian men from exercising self-restraint / virtue and abstaining until marriage. In my experience, they are less likely to be guys, more likely to be men. <br /><br />I would love to see someone like Hymowitz urge women to just say no -- a modern Lysistrata. I know it's unlikely -- is it also too simplistic? <br /><br />KristiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
