We are in the middle of a huge #PuritanRevival

It's all around us. Young people condemning everything as gross or cringe, getting the ick, railing against male gaze, or pissed off about "sexualization"

Some openly want to reverse the sexual revolution. Others want to ban sex to "protect" people from evil power dynamics. Either way the #Puritans are back and strong as hell.

I think a lot of it is reactionary. The opposite is also true, what used to be shocking and scandalous a few decades ago is commonplace and acceptable now.

The poles keep drifting further away from each other and society is increasingly divided between them.

All sorts of bizarre kinky stuff is now quite acceptable. That's true.

but some totally normal things like 5 or 10 year age gaps between partners is extremely disturbing to Gen Z.
