Right, I don't doubt the 10x STD increase is false. I just think "modern women are so slatternly they spread through sheer force of pussy" is giving women of the past a huge pussy pass and living under the optimism that women were innocent dainty things until feminism changed them to the core.

Like, WW1 and the "Summer of Love" are just two famous examples of something historically happening that made syphillis rates (among other STDs) skyrocket, with plenty of factors at play bigger than just whoring.
