I always have to ask, what caused this, “When America’s traditional sexual mores started to break down”. The only conclusion that I can come to is it has to do with the father. Somehow, the father stopped caring and/or taking the responsibility for the training up of their children, so that their daughters thought it would be acceptable to “live in sin.” I am still amiss as to what happened to the fathers.

Maybe it was because the generation of fathers who had lived in sin themselves thought it was hypocritical for them to teach sexual propriety to their children. As a result their children received no moral teaching at all.

Fatherhood is not for the fainthearted especially these days where the ethical male role is disparaged.

How does that work when this society has granted significantly more political and social horsepower to women?

Talk about blaming the victim....

I have begun to wonder if our involvement in WWII was not such a great thing for subtle reasons like what you question above.
