Face It: The "Sexual Revolution" Has Become Revolting
Neo's had it:
It is hard to escape the conclusion that the so-called "sexual revolution" was a double-edged sword. It promised much, and although it did give couples the tools to responsibly plan pregnancies together if they decide to use them, it failed to deliver almost everything except the freedom to hook up more readily with people we don't know very well, and probably don't like very much, and to experience the consequences. -- Abortion and sympathy, men and women

Your Say
It really didn't give us the ability to responsibly plan pregnancies. Birth control fails, frequently, and has side effects, sometimes. Also when you decide to have a baby you may find it's not always such an easy thing.
So really, there was no advantage, so far as I can see.
