Social Goals:

3.) for myself i want to get over greg completely and move on in my life and hopefully meet someone who i like who will treat me better and i will be happy again. thats a major goal that i am trying to do and it is really hard.

4.) also, for my last goal i want to try to stop eating so much junk food and candy and SODA! so i can have my old body back. i use to be real skinny and i think the main reason why i loved greg was because he would always tell me how beautiful i am and it made me feel good but when i went home and looked in the mirror i thought i looked ugly. i have low self-esteem.

The Pill and the Sexual Revolution

The sexual revolution was about female sexual empowerment. Many conservatives felt that the sexual revolution was an invitation to promiscuity. As females sexuality and premarital sex moved out of the shadows the pill became the sexual revolution. People argued that the pill was in fact responsible for the sexual revolution. The risk of pregnancy and the stigma that went along with it prevented single women from having sex and married women from having affairs. Females could finally have sex with anyone they wanted to without the risk or pregnancy, married or single women. Single women could now have sex with anyone just like men could. The thought of women behaving in the same way as the men disturbed many in America. Unmarried women were having sex prior to the advent of the pill, they were just using different and less effective forms of contraception. Virginity and marriage were slowly replaced by a celebration of single life and sexual exploration. For example, Hugh Hefner put out a racy new magazine called playboy that promoted bachelorhood and the swinging single life style. In the 1960's civil rights era, the traditional notion that a women wouldn't find a husband if she wasn't a virgin was wrong and absurd. Looking at all of this, is the pill the real cause of the sexual revolution in America or maybe the two put together?
