Male Liberation After The 1960's

Men’s Right: Male liberation after the women movement in 1960’s and 1970’s

The sensual revolution in the 60’s saw the proliferation of young women engaging in premarital and extramarital relationships. This revolution attributed to advancement in contraception which gave women the power to be more dominant, during erotic escapades. In this case, women supplement the extent of intimacy beyond the matrimonail union. For the male species, it meant a world void of societal expectations of them. A world they could readily express their inner most feelings and reveal their darkest secrets. Therefore, it is important to justify the benefits men experience through the freedom from social conventions of procreative roles.

This provided an easy channel to avoid the expectation of a masculine demeanor, confident and aggressive nature. Consequently, men can enjoy the forbidden sensual thrills contrary to the male moral conduct. Also, it allowed the male species to yield, indulged in pleasure and be well understood, sensually by the female species. As a result, men had the freedom to show their inner emotions, gentleness and weaknesses without social discrimination or criticism.
