An understandable sadness

Today I enjoyed reading this blog post: The Plight of the Thoroughly Modern Girl - From Where Does All This Sadness Spring. Dean writes:

"the widespread depression among young women seems a thoroughly reasonable and predictable response to life in a secular and sexually unrestrained culture.

This perspective is dangerous of course to those forces, particularly secular feminists, who continue to try to convince us that the world they have helped create is the best one for everybody no matter how high the numbers of divorce, depression and misery climb."

Of the sexual revolution, Dean writes:

"The end result of the revolution has been the pathologizing of what are many women’s most cherished hopes. Instead of realizing this to be true, the forces of the revolution simply push on grinding the souls of millions beneath their marching feet."
