The sexual bondage of women...
I'm would personally consider myself a "beginning" Christian in the sense that I'm very much still in the process of understanding my faith and confronting my own shortcomings. Fred Hutchison always has a very strong and deep Christian theme in his articles and analysis, but regardless of where you are on the religious scale, this article will likely make you think hard about what you are seeing in our culture today... and what you are likely not hearing about how countries with legal prostitution like Germany and events like the World Cup play a role in the growing sex trade.

Read it all... here.Congressional outrage. German amorality and American hypocrisy. A sexual dark age for women. American roots of harem culture. The walls close in upon the harem slave? The destruction of the harem slave? The myth of the prostitute with a heart of gold. The Picture of Dorian Grey. A nightmare for aging women. Woodstock in the suburbs. Pride in immorality and the death of shame. Sex in marriage. Conclusion: The moral of the story is that the sexual revolution has ill-equipped young men and women for successful, happy marriages. As a result of the epidemic of shattered marriages and divorce, the stage has been set for the social toleration of new kinds of sexual arrangements that can lead more fully to the sexual bondage of women.
The sexual revolution has resulted in the hyper-sexualization of men, and the bondage of women in prostitution and sex harems. These are the beginnings of sorrows if the sexual revolution is allowed to continue unchecked.
The sexual revolution may appeal to the lusts of the flesh of fallen man, but it is contrary to nature and the design of God for man. Sin is a hostile alien invasion into God's good creation.
It is natural to get married and have children. Orgies, harems, adultery, and promiscuity are contrary to nature. Culture can defy nature for only so long before there is a human reaction against an inhuman and decadent culture. Sometimes all that is needed is one voice crying in the wilderness to set off the corrective reaction.
The sexual revolution militates against the innate conscience of man. The individual must fight against his own conscience in order to agree with a corrupt culture. A man gives joy to his conscience when he fights such a culture.
The myths and codes of a sexualized culture are absurd and contrary to reason. A man gives joy to his powers of reason when he debunks irrational myths and codes.
Almighty God is opposed to a wicked culture. He empowers his children with grace and the Holy Spirit to do battle with the world, the flesh, and the devil. The Spirit of God within a Christian rejoices when he says "no" to evil. If we are willing, God will provide opportunities for us to say "no" to this present, evil, hypersexualized culture.
