WSJ: The Pill made same-sex nuptials inevitable
If they had said this years ago, would we not be having all the fooforah now?
Pull Quote:
"So the economics of sex evolved into a win-win deal. Women agreed to give men exclusive sexual rights and guaranteed paternity in exchange for their sexual loyalty and enduring assistance with childbearing and -rearing. The man's promise of sexual loyalty meant that he would expend his labor and resources supporting her children, not another woman's." [emphasis mine]
So divorce can be blamed on The Pill as well, and all those divorces and trophy wives of the pre-Djerassi years are (a rather large) outlier in the database?
