The invention of the contraceptive pill is quite possibly one of the most radical changes to human society in 100s of years.
Think about it; for all of human history normal sexual intercourse/ meant pregnancy was highly likely if not inevitable. Naturally, to make sure fathers were raising their actual biological children, to make sure children were born into wedlock in a stable home, and to make sure society in general was stable, marriage became necessary and one woman was tied to one man and it was ideal that she should be a virgin until the wedding night (so the man would know his children were his and he was not getting cuckolded). Pre-marital sex had immense stigma and bastard children were often shunned.
Then in the 60s the pill is introduced to mass society and by the mid to late sixties you have the sexual Revolution. The rapid de-stigmatisation of pre-marital sex. Most women of child bearing age in the west have their hormones artificially made haywire using chemicals.
As Chairman Mao once said when asked about the French Revolution ‘It’s too early to tell.’
I feel like we are one of the symptoms of the great change in culture that occurred in the west in the 60s. Sixties counterculture was, at its heart, really about sex; the other western cultural changes at that time (rebellion against authority, flirtations with Marxism, anti-war, drug use) were byproducts of the rapid change in attitudes towards pre marital sex between the baby boomers and their parents.
