Does a fine job of reviewing the role that feminist ideology and lesbian propaganda played in causing women to develop a selfish and utilitarian view of marriage and parenting; does an outstanding job in exposing the psychological and social pathology created in the children of the baby boomers who assumed this view. However, it seems to glance over the factors which caused MEN to accept disposable marriage as the norm; in my opinion there are two that are most salient:
1. Hollywood - both the on-screen glamorization of extramarital affairs (Love is a Many-Splendored Thing, Coming Home) and the coy, winking discussion in the popular media of the off-screen marital antics of the likes of Elizabeth Taylor.
2. the trophy wife phenomenon among executives and entrepreneurs - Not only the acquiescence to, but the actual participation in this routine by Republican politicians has allowed their opponents to expose them as hypocrites when they claim to be the only spokesmen for those who wish to maintain religion-based moral standards in public life. This results in those wishing to maintain those standards really having no political champions at all; as a consequence, I believe this is the greatest single factor contributing to immorality in modern America.
