'''J. D. Unwin''' was a 20th century English | '''J. D. Unwin''' was a 20th century English ethnologist who argued that sexual license (widespread pre-marital sex) and the decline of monogamy (as typically promoted by feminism) leads to irrevocable societal collapse. He argued that [[monogamy]] was a pre-requisite for civilization to exist, stating: ""The whole of human history does not contain a single instance of a group becoming civilized unless it has been absolutely monogamous, nor is there any example of a group retaining its culture after it has adopted less rigorous customs." He died at the age of 40 years old, his work being obscure during his lifetime. | ||
