Or maybe you’re a trans or nonbinary person reading this, thinking “What quaint ideas about gender and sex this old trad con has.” And to that I’ll say, it makes sense to me that the generation of young women who have experienced and borne witness to some of the worst side-effects of unyoking sex from consequence and love that Perry meticulously outlines in her book, “rough sex, hook-up culture, and ubiquitous porn”—would take a look around and decide:
I’d rather be a man. Or more accurately, I’d rather not be a woman.
I had a similar thought earlier this year. Aside from the typical female myopia regarding male disposability, the explosion in female trannies and trenders, specifically the she/they types, is definitely a direct, if long-term result of the sexual revolution.
In the old days, young girls would be brought up surrounded by female and feminine authority figures, and would be taught how to be women all throughout their childhood and adolescence. They would be given auxiliary child-rearing responsibilities and constantly see healthy male-female dynamics from the sidelines as they worked with their older female family members. The result was, they'd grow up knowing how to handle themselves around men, having confidence in their own femininity, and (a subject mostly left out of this essay) comfortable around children and the reality of reproduction.
These days, a young girl is thrown into mixed-sex environments from the time she's 6, and expected to navigate it through puberty. She has almost no interaction with healthy adult women, but she is subordinate to the large number female adult-children who run their schools. She has to get a handle on her sexuality in a highly sexually-competitive environment, with no outside moderation.
And that's without going into where boys and men are supposed to play into this, cause that's another essay in itself.
Of course they don't want to be women. They're afraid of being women, because they never learned how. There's only so much instinct you can fall back on. You can live as an adult female in the barest sense, hopping from dick to dick like a horny monkey, or you can be an immature androphobe who masturbates to grody lesbian smut or children's cartoons while yelling about anime cleavage, but both are failures as women, so why be women at all?
