OPINION:
Why is anyone surprised to learn that in our present social climate there is and has been for the past 40 years rampant sexual improprieties and assaults against women (“The return of virtue,” Web, Nov. 29)? We are reaping the rotten fruits of the sexual revolution of the 1960s and ’70s, during which the “Free Love” movement erased modesty and respect for women. The fairer sex became fair play and stigmas were removed from the exploits of amorous behavior. The #MeToo hashtag is a joke. I doubt there is a woman alive who has never experienced a sexual impropriety in her lifetime.
Many women are now speaking out and I hope that this will be the start of a return to a more moral society where women once again are treated with respect by men.
