Kinsey was a rotten apple. His statistics were all cooked, to make it appear that homosexuality was a lot more common than it actually was—and still is, even now.
What’s interesting is that certain foundations and influential individuals backed him, because they wanted to get rid of any restraints on sexuality.
They were pretty much same people who later went all out for unlimited abortion, and population control in the third world.
The Rockefeller Foundation, for one.
Freedom, especially from Victorian societal and religious oversight, is still a rather new experiment. I'd argue that the ‘sexual revolution’ was coming to a free society one way or another. Kinsey is a bad scientist with bad methodology and that leads to bad data. So he didn't help matters, but freedom is a messy wonderful thing. I think we as a society are still struggling to grow up and take responsibility for our freedom. Think of the sexual morays and rational thought process of an 18 year old vs. a 35 year old. A Republic is the only government I know of that assigns integrity and dignity to the individual-with civil rights comes civil responsibility, and more importantly personal responsibility.
Kinsey is not more responsible for the difficult societal journey to maturity than the Catholic Church's pathetic lip service (and no action) to its predatory pedophiliac priest issue. I trust the Republic will move towards maturity despite all the problems of Freedom without responsibility.
