George Gilder explains in the opening of his prescient book, Men and Marriage, how monogamy and male/female complementarity are essential for human civilization because male sexuality is categorically distinct from female. In fact, unbridled male sexuality is every society’s first and must fundamental social problem. Woman’s civilizing influence via normative monogamy is the natural answer. Humanity has called that marriage from pre-civilizational days.
In his first chapter’s opening sentence, Gilder states, “The crucial process of civilization is the subordination of the male sexual impulses and biology to the long-term horizons of female sexuality.” He continues, “The prime fact of life is the sexual superiority of women” because “women transform male lust into love; channel male wanderlust into jobs, homes and families; link men to specific children; rear children into citizens, change hunters into fathers; divert male will to power into a drive to create.”
You undo that, and you undo life-giving civilization.
This is what the whole sexual revolution has always been about. Its ravaging architects have been warning us with every regressive advance. Their strategic appeal to our kindness through manipulative claims of tolerance has paved the way. We continue to fall for it. Polyamory is now advancing because good men fail to connect the dots. Women and children deserve better.
