Has the Sexual Revolution Failed Women? | Intelligence Squared

  • The sexual revolution of the 1960s liberated women to enjoy sexual freedom and personal autonomy. That’s the conventional view but is it right? In March 2023 writers Louise Perry and Mary Harrington came to Intelligence Squared to argue that the social changes generally seen as progressive over the last 50 years have largely benefited men and only a handful of elite women.
    Perry, who has been described as the most influential young feminist in Britain, claims in her book The Case Against the Sexual Revolution that the contemporary world of rough sex, hook-up culture and ubiquitous porn is harming women and she calls for a radical challenge to what she sees as the failed liberal feminism of the 20th century. Harrington, in her new book Feminism Against Progress, argues that the belief in the progressive march of history is misguided and that new technology, far from liberating women, has trapped them into commodifying their bodies in the false belief that they are empowering themselves. And she warns of a dystopian future where poor women will become convenient sources of body parts to be harvested and wombs to be rented by the rich.
    Perry and Harrington were in conversation with Times columnist Alice Thomson.

    I just want the women on this panel to know that there are many men out there that are anti-porn. I think the problems of having the conversation is the following:
    1. Feminists tend to be left-leaning and men who are against porn are largely right-leaning and the coalition is not a natural one, especially in the context of growing political division.
    2. Porn. like many addictions, is something men are driven to often at first out of curiosity, but afterward in an attempt to deal with loneliness, stress, rejection, and powerlessness. It's something men become trapped in and the truth of the matter is that both men and women are victimized by porn, but in different ways. My sense is there is a large underground of men who know that porn is bad for them but are trapped in it and feel like they can't talk about their experiences without being treated like they are the problem.
    3. Women are increasingly become involved in porn as consumers, and that means more men involved in the production of pornography, and my sense is that this growing issue is too often relegated to being a footnote.
    4. There is a general cultural bias towards men being radically responsible for their own actions, and therefore radically responsible for their own problems, while women with problems are more often viewed as victims of circumstance and society. Being victims of a sexist double-standard, or being afraid of being the victims of a sexist double-standard, keeps men from allying with feminists on issues that are in both of their interests to solve.

I think they are petrified that if a man understands a woman's decision making process then she is prone to losing control of herself. The reality is that most men want women to stop lying, not only to men, but to themselves. Men do have to ability to know what's best for women, and vice versa. I am deeply pained when I see a woman making bad decisions that I know will bring her nothing but misery.

    I disagree that pornography has had no effect on society other than sexual taste. 1 in 3 men under 30 are either virgins or haven't had sex in over a year. Most relationships nowadays are being started by some sort of online dating. Looking at dating data men select at least 50% of women, whereas women select 5 - 15% of men. A recent study showed that around 62% of men under 30 are single, whilst 32% of women report being single (so possibly dating other women/older men/the same men).
    Basically, the average man is not getting much sex at all. Whilst a very select few are doing exceptionally well. We have a polygamous dating market right now. Or an unofficial harem for a small number of men (who women are picking). As these men don't have to work very hard and don't have to offer much in return as the women are chasing them.
    Typically, polygamous societies are in a state of constant turmoil as you have a bunch of young men who have no access to women, so engage in riskier behaviour as they have nothing to lose. Violence goes up, crime goes up. However currently in West crime overall has been trending down.
    This is likely due to increased porn and gaming consumption (as well as the constant attack on masculinity), which is sedating men

      It seems a lot of men checked out from the dating market completely. I guess that is the reason we don't see violence and crime going up at the moment. That might not be the case in the future however, with the generations that are currently still too young to date. We know there is a good chance these generations are going to be more entitled and spoiled, so they might become violent upon entering the dating market and being hit by the reality of it all.

    Thank you for featuring Louise Perry and Mary Harrington on your program. Like any large movement, feminism is not monolithic. There are a diversity of perspectives. Perry's and Harrington's ideas need to be more widely known, as they provide a much needed counterpoint to the popular view, among feminist circles, that the only means for women to achieve parity with men is for women to behave like men. Equality does not mean sameness. We don't need to turn women into men - and have women adopt the worst sexual habits of men - in order for them to achieve their full potential. To best meet the needs of women, we must celebrate the inherent differences they have, and not pretend that those innate differences don't exist, or that they are a social construct that women can simply unlearn.

    "I like to leave my marriage as a black box because it doesn't just belong to me so it's not really appropriate to just talk about it on the internet" from Mary
    So much respect, dignity, accountability and maturity contained in that
    My experience is that many women, especially younger women, do not view their relationships with men in that way at all, women will speak publicly about their relationships as if it is only their business, as if they have a right to say what they like about their relationships because it is part of their lives, and sometimes do so in a clear effort to control their partners, air dirty laundry to guilt and shame their partner
    There is a real sense of union and compromise in the language Mary uses when asked about her marriage and family

      I had an ex about 2-3 years ago (when we started dating I was 20 she was 23). She was publicly a very outspoken feminist woman but was very different in the bedroom. She actually asked me to choke her. I - being a man raised during Me-Too - was very nervous and required quite a bit of persuading to risk that. She also convinced me to be much more masculine and dominant than I had been told women liked. And this is a very outspoken feminist (though the terf-ish not bluehaired variety). So I think this discussion was lacking. They assume by default that kinky behaviour is something men push onto women, which isn't true.

    Interesting discussion about porn and the effects on society. I would expand the discussion that Porn to men is the same as Instagram is to women. As men can be addicted to porn, women are addicted to attention as provided on a platform like Instagram and only fans. What are the negative effects of attention addiction for women? For starters, supercharged hypergamy which makes the most ordinary women believe that they deserve men that are well above their social status. That average men, who basically ensure that society functions via the maintenance of the infrastructure, are well beneath the most average and ordinary women. As there are anti addiction efforts for men and porn, should there not be anti addiction efforts for women and social media?

    I'd like to hear a more robust argument for banning porn than 'We survived thousands of years without it, we'll be fine'. We survived without a lot of things - various forms of entertainment, ability to communicate quickly over very long distances, but it doesn't mean that we want or should go back there. I think there's a good argument to be made that there a difference between those things and access to porn, and that's something that needs to be inckuded elaborated on rather than leaving it as the more simplistic argument of 'We were fine before without it'.

    This is really interesting. I taught self-defense for women and girls during the late 90s through the naughties. One of the things that I tried to impart was that the vast majority of violence that women experience is that the hands of men that they know and who are already in close, yes self-defense is taught primarily as stranger danger. So it's interesting to me. Got this generation of young women are hyper-aware of stranger danger and yet feel compelled to consent two violent Acts ask with men who may or may not be someone she knows well. So even though this generation has been well-versed in the idea that no means no, there seems to be an inability to say no in any realistic way. And I think Mary Harrington's arguments get underneath this as well I'll be interested to read Louise Perry's book soon

    for me as man it‘s a very interesting discussion since i myself was participating a lot in hookup culture before i questioned my values and came to pretty much the same conclusion. Nevertheless there is some bias from the narrator for instance by saying „how men are treating women“ (minute 8.22) which takes away responsibility from women (both are participating in this hook-up culture). women aren‘t just victims they can „profit“ from this hook up culture just as much as men maybe just in other ways.
    Edit: aswell as the statement that men have no discussion about porn: there is a huge popularity among men of rejecting porn and everything that comes with it (because of fear of addiction and destructing the self)
    So it seems to me the narrator isn‘t that well informed

      I see where you're coming from, but undoubtedly, women are more physically vulnerable in such interactions.
      A lot of women also do this because they feel like unless they participate, the man will simply move onto another woman that is willing to have sex casually. It's sad, but one woman I knew was willing to have sex on the first date because she wanted to start a relationship with this guy she fancied. She thought she could get him interested in her by doing that, but of course, he made it clear to her that he was still not interested in her as a girlfriend.

    The sexual revolution benefits top 10% of men (those who are rich and or tall and in good shape), those who all women want. These 10% sleep with nealy all women in their most beautiful years and do not commit to one of them. Why should a man commit, if the next 5 women are even lining up themselges to please him? If she gets to love him and begins to stick he will dump her and move on. And she is heartbroken and disappointed. Over and over again. And over time she loses her ability to pair bond.
    And the women do this bc everyone of them "feels", she could lock this top tier man down, he will love her and stay. No, he won´t bc she is not special for him, offers nothing better than all the other women chasing him. She is a number for him, nothing else. And so the wheel goes round and round, her body count raises till the woman hits 30, the clock of nature is ticking, she realises that if she wants kids and a husband she must "lower" her standarts. And now the 90% of men she did not even see in her 20´s come in sight. But she is damaged, she "feels" that she´s entiteled to a millionaire man bc she has slept with those, she´s entiteled to a 6"+ man, bc she slept with those, she is entiteled to a bodybuilder bc she slept with those. Propably all in one man. And than she marries a guy who is at least at one of these assets more than average. And misses the other goodies. And gets bored soon after the tingles fade if they even were there and life comes down to daily routine. But she can not enjoy simple contentment and peace, she is addicted to the butterflies of a new love. And so she divorces him, destroing the family and damaging the children. And wants to go back on the dating market with all the tingles and butterflies. But now she´s older and has children. And those top tier guys she had slept with in her youth still sleep with young girls, not with her. And do not commit, not to her younger sisters nor to her. And now even average guys won´t commit to her anymore - raising another man´s children is a bad deal even for low tier men. She will buy cats and die alone - like her ex-husband and a lot of men (those rather will buy dogs - like myself).
    That´s it. It damages all humans, especially the children.
    Women today are more free than in all history. And are more miserable. Men are more happy than women. And that´s bc men are hardwired to be alone. It´s not a big deal for men to live on their own, but for women it is.

      Men might be able to survive on their own and be less inclined to enter/remain in an unsatisfactory relationship, but there is no immunity from it. The rising Incel culture is a response to society going too far into damaging group ideology (leading to the loss of positive male role models outside of superficial successes - sex, status, money), but the "IN" part of the name is the opposite of making a choice and being happy about it

      These top 10% of men are in the same position as.... all women! And they behave in the same way as women!
      Getting just sex is easy for all women, as for these top 10% of men. Therefore women and top 10% men dont value "getting just sex" very much. It is like buying some candy.
      Women want more from men then just sex to want to be in a relationship, as does these top 10% of men. And since sex is the only thing liberated modern women offer top 10% men, these women are easily replaceble, just as most men are easily replaceble by women who can easily meet new men, by just making eye contact and smile.
      So any criticism against this behavior of top 10% men would need to be followed by the same amount of criticism against the same behaviour from women, but there never is any criticism towards women is there. Women initiate almost all of the divorces (while convincing the man that it is a decision they make together, even if the man lose much more money they her by a divorce and also loses contact with his children), because they dont commit and are free to replace men at any time for any reason. So why should unmarried single top 10% men even be criticised when they compared to married women have no obligations of loyalty....

    It would be interesting for them to do a piece on a subject and include men in the research. Comments such as "men are more violent" would likely dissapears and be replaced by "there is more reports of violence coming from men". Reality is that men don't report violence most of the time unless it is quite serious (like a stabbing) and even there.
    The part on porn was interesting, but again i would probably get the men idea and effect as well. Society is affected by porn no matter the gender as it project image of sexuality that may or may not be attypical, weather it is the bodies you look at or the actions they are performing.
    One thing ia sure, sexual revolution did not do as much good as people are led to think.
