re: #5 Obdicut
Because when I think “Sexual revolution,” I think “Jews”.
Not that Jewish culture doesn’t have a pretty healthy attitude towards sex, at least compared to mainstream Christianity, but still, this is a new one to me.
Gregory Goodwin Pincus, without whom there would be no birth control pill, was Jewish. Min Chueh Chang was his co-researcher. They shared the credit for the breakthrough, which was achieved at Pincus’s research institute.
Margaret Sanger was instrumental in getting the funding for Pincus and his institute.
So in as much as the sexual revolution could not have happened without the pill, we are the cause of it :)
