Why get married when you can party on? It looks as though more young women are adopting the attitude that so many young men have about marriage. Indeed, the rise of the SYF is a direct result of the widespread acceptance of artificial birth control and of the sexual revolution. If it's okay to have sex outside of marriage and if it's possible to prevent pregnancy, then why bother to get married? Why should men be the only ones to benefit from all of this glorious sexual freedom? Why should men have all the fun? The rise of SYFs is a bad thing but we shouldn't be surprised that it is happening.

It has long been my opinion that, in 500 years, historians will concluded that freely available contraception is the most profound single change wrought by modernism and the single factor that was most responsible for ending Western Civilization.
