I don't get what the author is whining about.
I fail to see how a cultural standard expecting women and to an extent men to be chaste counts as "oppression".
I guess I just underestimated how far our western "culture" has degenerated that now having more than one sex partner is seen as a badge of honor and the cultural taboo against it as "oppression" while real oppression like excessive taxes, socialized medicine etc are deemed "progressive".
And no I am not some neocon talking about "family values" because it is convenient, i am a paleo libertarian who supported Ron Paul in the last US presidential election.
Oh well, it may not be the first time an advanced civilization has degenerated & crumbled, its not the first time this has happened (eg: Rome), if the West is bent on self annihilation no one can save us, needless to say attitudes like the authors are part of the problem in paving way for a Eurabia and increasing socialist tyranny.
Ever notice the more a population finds promiscuity acceptable the more likely it will also find socialism acceptable, after all who wouldn't like a free lunch & having to shirk responsibility for your actions, me having to pay for some single moms brood of bastards is a direct consequence of acceptance of promiscuity in our culture.
And look where the alleged African family system got them today, i don't know if the authors description of it is right but if it is just shows some of the harmful consequences of encouraging libertine behavior.
At least the Indians still seem to be sane and still have some morals left, hope they keep it intact. <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
