She also offered a contrarian message about large-scale contraceptive devices, such as the birth-control pill. This would have allowed couples to conveniently separate their sexual activity and its natural procreative end. Many were not ready to listen to what she had to share.<\/p>\n<p>That was in 2000. In the ten years since, a lot has happened. Eberstadt admits this in the updated book. <em>Adam and Eve after the Pill Revisited<\/em>The rise in social unrest over the last 10 year has led to a growing suspicion of liberation&#8217;s false promises, sometimes even among the most skeptical. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AlpacaAurelius\/status\/1455316303917559809?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Unexpected sources<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>It would be a good idea to start by saying that I was reading. <em>Adam and Eve after the Pill Revisited<\/em> I was also rereading Cormac McCarthy\u2019s book. <em>The Road<\/em>The 2006 novel, titled &#8216;The Father&#8217;s Tortured Mission to Protect His Son&#8217;. It is a story about a father who attempts to save his son during a post-apocalyptic world that is hostile to the most vulnerable. Both of these books influenced my reading. So, I was struck. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crisismagazine.com\/opinion\/the-rage-of-feral-children\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Like others<\/a>Eberstadt&#8217;s discourse about the &#8220;fury of the fatherless,&#8221; This creates a link between a pill that allows fathers to give up their responsibilities and a fatherless generation who turns to activism and identity politics to foster a false sense kinship than a traditional family in an era gone by. This contrasts with the selfless, selfless father of <em>The Road<\/em>He willed his child&#8217;s good in spite of all odds.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s examine this. Eberstadt&#8217;s argument is essentially this: The pill&#8217;s invention has undermined the natural law that conception can be co-creative. It suggests instead that the woman has more control over the outcome of her sex. It allows women to put off childrearing and pursue a career. This increases competition for higher education and discourages hypergamy (marrying too many). These conditions, along with government willingness to play, have made it difficult for male agency to be undermined. &#8220;super-daddy&#8221; America has seen fatherlessness worsened by giving welfare to single mothers. &#8220;Some 40 percent of all children lack a biological father in the home,&#8221; Eberstadt writes.<\/p>\n<p>This is not new for the ultra-religious right. What is new is the colourful array of examples from the past<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When Mary Eberstadt first published Adam and Eve After the Pill: The Paradoxes of the Sexual Revolution in 2012, she cast a critical eye on reproductive dynamics in the post-liberation world, offering a contrarian message about the large-scale consequences of a mass-produced contraceptive device, the birth-control pill, that would enable couples to blithely separate sexual activity from its natural procreative end.
