Some American men take the position that monogamy protects the rights of women. The truth of the matter is that monogamy protects men, allowing them to play around without responsibility. Easy birth control and easy legal abortion has opened the door of illicit sex to woman and she has been lured into the so-called sexual revolution. Nevertheless, she is still the one who suffers the trauma of abortion and the side effects of the birth control methods. Taking aside the plagues of venereal diseases, herpes and AIDS, the male continues to enjoy himself free of worry.
Men are the ones protected by monogamy while women continue to be victims of men s desires.
