Liberals Have Won the Cultural Wars
Recently a troll posted a provocation on the (right wing) satire blog "Scrappleface." The comment on the thread that "NY banned heterosexual marriages" said:
Actually, we know we lost (at least so far). This post is a requiem for healthy relationships.
From William Raspberry, WAPO - article on love´s dying ritual. Although he chooses to focus on the lack of courtship, this is only the tip of the iceberg to the lack of healthy relationships.
The alcohol deadening so much of their brains and real feelings, but losening up all kinds of inhibitions, including healthy and necessary ones. Conversations that make no sense, because people are too drunk to put words together coherently. There are no human beings to relate to. Youngsters are reduced to gobs of individual meat that can manage a dehumanized form of sex, which tiltillates them sexually, but with no love, no respect, no maturity, no care, no dialogue, and certainly, no intimacy. Not a single emotional need cared for in a healthy way.
What is this a picture of? Real life has become pornography. The latter is no longer simply a dysfunctional moron´s idea of sex in fictional media format. Now it´s the norm for a lot of social interactions.
Raspberry also makes a very insightful comment about what these young people feel about the situation:
They may be too young to know who made these rules, but it´s plain to see the liberal morality here is the dominant one. Whose ideas for relationship and sex and drinking behavior are these? Who is controling these kids with tons of destructive peer pressure? Who is presenting them with such ideas in every form of media and entertainment? Yes, who has won the sex and behaviors wars?
This is not gender equality, this is a destructive liberalism shoved down your throat. (see my comment about society become more violent and locker-room like here: Some thoughts on what´s going on in society nowadays.).
This is how one destroys healthy human relations. What are these young people learning about relationships that will help them build a foundation for a long-term marriage relationship? Nothing. They can´t even talk to each other in a meaningful way for more than five minutes. They have learned to be crude and promiscuous. You can bet they swear at every three words of their 5th grade English vocabulary, they are idiotic pro-homosexuals, and irresponsibly pro-porn. This scenario is also the quintessential scenario for the thousands of date rapes we have and for epidemic levels of increasing STDs. How avant-guarde!
Yes, liberals have won. These are your laurels.

"You [conservative] folks know that you are going to lose this culture war, right?"
Actually, we know we lost (at least so far). This post is a requiem for healthy relationships.
From William Raspberry, WAPO - article on love´s dying ritual. Although he chooses to focus on the lack of courtship, this is only the tip of the iceberg to the lack of healthy relationships.
Listen (with her permission) to a young woman in my "Family and Community" class last fall:
"Friday night, my sorority had a function in an abandoned field, where the only activity is to get really drunk," she wrote in a paper I assigned on the decline of courtship. "I asked this older boy that I sort of knew, just because I needed a date and he was cute. Everyone was drinking so heavily that the majority of the conversations did not even make much sense.
"When the party ended, we all got on the buses (nicknamed the 'hook-up buses') to return to campus. I went back to his room 'to talk,' but obviously talking turned into making out. Later, I walked back from his dorm all the way to my dorm by myself."
Thank goodness she spared me the details of her make-out session, though she and her classmates drove home the point that "hooking up" can include anything from kissing and petting to sexual intercourse.
Several of them made it clear that alcohol consumption is a significant part of the hookup experience -- as though to give all involved a pretext for saying that what happened last night wasn't really them.
My young student said something that still has me scratching my head.
"At the end of the night, I could have batted my eyes, given him a hug, and said 'Thanks for a wonderful evening.' But in today's society, that is rude. A hug is the universal sign for 'not interested.' "
[...]
Again, I quote from my student's paper:
"I walked home late at night by myself. He offered for me to stay at his place, but I said that I would just walk home. He responded with false concern, asking if I would be OK going back by myself. I promised him I would be fine. This dialogue is standard. The boy cannot appear too apathetic, the girl cannot act too needy and dependent. We are afraid to forfeit the independence that took so many years to acquire in return for an escort back to the dorm."
Then this:
"He and I could have a future together, but we will never know. There will never be a next date. If he were to ask me out next weekend, he would appear weak. I could not ask him out again for fear of appearing obsessed."
What a dysfunctional, ego-destructive and profoundly sad "equality" the young folk have fashioned.
The alcohol deadening so much of their brains and real feelings, but losening up all kinds of inhibitions, including healthy and necessary ones.

Raspberry also makes a very insightful comment about what these young people feel about the situation:
But a lot of them -- too many, by my dimming lights -- go along to get along. They are not sure who made the new rules, though they seem to believe they have something to do with gender equality. And they are not sure they like the new rules, but they like even less the prospect of being branded weird and left alone in their rooms on weekend nights.
They may be too young to know who made these rules, but it´s plain to see the liberal morality here is the dominant one. Whose ideas for relationship and sex and drinking behavior are these? Who is controling these kids with tons of destructive peer pressure? Who is presenting them with such ideas in every form of media and entertainment? Yes, who has won the sex and behaviors wars?
