By Laura Perrins: So how is that whole sexual revolution working out, then? I like to ask this question now and again because to listen to the feminists who started the revolution you would think it was the end of days.
No sooner had the Harvey Weinstein scandal confirmed what we had known for some time, namely that predatory sexual behaviour went unchecked in Hollywood, than social media was flooded with testimony that sexual harassment was everywhere.
It is true that the Hollywood casting couch was around a long time before the 60s (I am not suggesting that it was not) but I thought the great revolution was supposed to fix it.
I thought the great sexual revolution would do at least three things: 1) stop the objectification of women; 2) reduce pornography, and 3) liberate women to be just like men.
So how is it going? The objectification of women seems to continue, according to the feminists, even if it is women exploiting their own sexual capital for financial gain. The Mayor of London is going to ban advertisements of women in bikinis on the Tube. Mary Whitehouse would be proud.
