Adam and Eve After the Pill, Revisited

Mary Eberstadt, a renowned author, is digging further into the aftereffects of the sexual revolution. Adam and Eve after the Pill (2012), the precursor, examined the microcosmic aftermath of the revolution via its empirical impacts on the lives of men, women, and children. This sequel examines the far-reaching effects of the revolution on religion, government, and society. Roe v. Wade's overthrow by the U.S. Supreme Court is also discussed and analysed here.

Eberstadt sums up the effects of today's broken households, wild kids, and social outcasts on Western civilization with brutal reasoning. She makes a nuanced but compelling case that the rise of transgenderism and other forms of sexual uncertainty are linked to the decline of traditional nuclear families. Specifically, the author links the rise of hostility, polarisation, street violence, and identity politics to the breakdown of the Western family unit. The outcome is damning evidence against the path society throughout the globe has followed since the 1960s, when contraception became popular and conventional morality was vilified.

If you care about the future of Western Christianity, you need to read the chapter in this book describing how the revolution infiltrated the churches. At a time when so many people are concerned that the Catholic Church may abandon its long-held moral principles, this book must be front and centre.

A model for the new revisionism that is developing now, Adam and Eve after the Pill, Revisited is also a manifesto for a more compassionate future order.
