Marriage is in free-fall, and multitudes of ordinary people who in any healthy culture would be married and having a fine brood of children now live in a protracted adolescence or in loneliness and disillusionment.
Nobody foresaw the endless disintegration of sexual personality that is implied in the every multiplying categories of “identities.” Nobody foresaw that we would be throwing parades for perversion and sadism and recommending them to our children. Some people foresaw that it would be open season on girls. Nobody foresaw that it would be open season on boys, confusing them and corrupting them in their never-sure sense of developing masculinity.
