In “The Sexual State,” Jennifer Roback Morse argues that the sexual revolution has been a disaster for individuals and society as a whole. She contends that the ideologies of the elitesāliberals, feminists, etc.āhave caused immense harm by convincing people to pursue sex without commitment or responsibility. The Church was right all along in teaching that chastity is best for both individuals and societies. This book offers a much-needed corrective to the prevailing liberal view on sex and provides readers with an understanding of why traditional Christian teachings are still relevant today.
