His point is that by abandoning the idea of 1 exclusive partner for life & making sex freely available we have created conditions for abuse

And that's what I'm disagreeing with. The idea that not committing to only ever having sex with one person in our lives somehow leads to normalising sexual abuse.
-
It's not an idea I'm comfortable with either, but could LCK have ever done those things in a culture that frowned upon sex outside marriage?
-
It already frowns on doing those things as we see right now. Plus, it would also be a culture in which it was difficult to have sex outside marriage which would suck
-
Yo, I'm not arguing for a return to Victorian morality. But I do think JP has a point: something valuable is lost when sex is ubiquitous
-
Something valuable is lost when you can only ever have one sexual partner for your whole life too.
-
2/ But that isn't a culture either you, I or anyone else would want to live in. Sex is cheap. Marriage declines. Everyone unhappy. What now?
-
So we all have to go back to 1950s morality because some men are pigs? (Because of course in the 50s, no man ever made passes at teens...)

It's difficult to tease out which cultural norms are protective, and which ones are needlessly restrictive or harmful. People can disagree in good faith about such things.
