Independent Women's Forum releases 'Sex (Ms.) Education:
What Young Women Need to Know (But Won't Hear in
Women's Studies) About Sex, Love, and Marriage'
WASHINGTON, Feb. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- The Independent Women's Forum today
released the Special Report, Sex (Ms.) Education: What Young Women Need to
Know (But Won't Hear in Women's Studies) About Sex, Love, and Marriage,
written by Carrie Lukas, IWF's director of policy. The report contains
numerous eye-opening examples from women's studies textbooks that would shock
most parents, as well as students.
"Too often, college women are getting a warped perspective on sex, love,
and marriage," said Lukas. "People might not be surprised to hear that young
women get misinformation from much of pop culture, but they might be surprised
to know that it can also be found in many college classrooms."
Pouring through women's studies texts, Lukas found feminist authors
criticizing the institution of marriage as repressive for women and uncovered
essays glorifying promiscuity.
"These texts tend to focus on warning women of the perils of marriage and
traditional relationships, and encouraging women to take a much more liberal
view of sex. What's always left out of the discussion is the benefits
associated with marriage and the downsides of a promiscuous lifestyle," Lukas
continued.
"Sex (Ms.) Education" recounts how many women are regretful and confused
after engaging in casual sex, and how women are much more vulnerable than men
are to contracting sexually transmitted diseases. The report also highlights
research that suggests that marriage is associated with greater happiness,
health and financial security.
"Young women need to know all of the facts about sex, love and marriage so
that they can make informed decisions about how to achieve their own long-term
happiness," said Lukas.
