<p>It’s not really complicated:</p>
<p>THE PILL in effect frees women to act like men (1960) + HUGE CHANGE IN FEMALE ATTITUDE IN REFERENCE TO RECREATIONAL SEX (mid-60’s and onward) = SEX REVOLUTION (whereby sex to a large extent becomes disconnected from love, committment, or marriage - (Hugh Heffner’s wish))</p>
<p>SEX REVOLUTION = huge increase in females willing to have sex with married men</p>
<p>SEX REVOLUTION makes married men believe they are missing out on new wave of liberated women</p>
<p>MARRIAGE plus sex outside of marriage with non-spouse = LARGE SPIKE IN DIVORCE RATE (late 60s to 1980’s and flattening but still high since then 1980’s)</p>
<p>THEREFORE: underlying cause of high divorce rate can be traced primarily to THE PILL</p>
