Excerpt from Our Changing Morality: A Symposium
The subject of sex'has been treated in this generation with a strange, rather panic-stricken lack of balance. Obscenity hawks its old Wares atone end of the road and dogmatic'piety shouts warnings at the other - while between is chaos. And the chaos extends beyond ideas and talk, beyond novels and scenarios and Sunday feature stories, into the realm of actual conduct. Re ligion has indeed found substantial matter for its words of caution and disapproval: never in recent generations have human beings so floun dered about outside the ropes 'oi social and te ligious sanctions.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This insightful examination into the historical evolution of gender and morality posits that social morality has primarily been the domain of men, while women have been largely confined to upholding domestic virtues. Through an analysis of historical and cultural contexts, the author traces how women's recent entry into the social sphere has prompted a reassessment of traditional sexual and moral norms. The book challenges conventional views on monogamy, divorce, and the double standards applied to men and women's sexual behavior. It prompts us to critically examine the impact of societal expectations and economic factors on our understanding of morality. By exploring the historical roots of our current moral framework, this book offers valuable insights into the complexities and contradictions that shape our perceptions of right and wrong, ultimately encouraging readers to question societal norms and envision more equitable and progressive moral standards.
