J. D. Unwin: Difference between revisions

'''J. D. Unwin''' was a 19th century academic who argued that sexual license (widespread pre-marital sex) and the decline of monogamy (as typically promoted by feminism) leads to irrevocable societal collapse. Specifically, he claims that whenever a society he examined started on the path of promoting sexual license, they could never recover and their fate was thus sealed.  He came to this conclusion by studying the rise and fall of over 80 cultures.  He wrote the book '''Sex and Culture''' which discusses these topics. This was despite the fact that he expressed support for some feminist ideas, like legal equality between the sexes, which he claimed was crucial to the institution of monogamy being preserved.
