That is a major boatload of naive ignorant bovine excrement! How old are you? What do you know about the 50’s? We were “moral “ then? Do you know about Jim Crow and segregation? Was that moral? Commie witch hunts that ruined countless lives? My father was one of them. He was not a Communist. He was a union organizer,! Tell me more about the morality of the 50’s . Do you really think that women were chaste and pure and were not having sex? Do you think that they were not having sex and lots of it? And yes they were having abortions, it just was not spoken about because in many places it was illegal. And some women were dying from botched abortions And your denegation of women today is duly noted. I have you pegged as an INCEL
And what is that tripe about needing less laws if we were just “moral” and had standards? Please explain exactly what that would look like and how it would work? Where and when did an entire society agreed completely and what is “moral “ aside for cults where behavior and beliefs were dictated and enforced by some deranged megalomaniac? The absence of laws means anarchy and anarch is tyranny. It may be tyranny of the majority, or tyranny of a minority depending upon who has the power, but it is still tyranny . It is the antithesis of the rule of law which is the basis of a democracy.
Yes civilized people do agree on certain moral standards- you can’t kill or rob people and so forth. But beyond that there needs to be flexibility and the freedom for individuals to determine what makes moral sense to them, primarily on issue of sexuality. There can not be and should not be any universal morality beyond doing no harm to another.
If you want to compare the morality of today with 1950, Consider: Today, unlike then most people support racial equality and women’s rights including the right to have agency over their own bodies. . Many more people are opposed to the death penalty. Most people believe that love is love regardless of gender and find the persecution of gays abhorrent. These might not represent your idea of morality but you alone do not get to decide what is moral. When you say that we need to get back to ” a general sense of morals" you mean your morals. You mean that everyone should be you. Not happening ! Get real!
