Was the sexual revolution a mistake?

Christians have long lamented the liberal attitudes brought about by the sexual revolution, but now secular thinkers are starting to agree. Feminist campaigner Louise Perry joins Christian commentator Rod Dreher to discuss whether ancient biblical wisdom holds the answers to modern maladies

Justin Brierley (JB): Louise, can you tell us how your background has informed your recent book, The Case Against the Sexual Revolution?

Louise Perry (LP): The story I like to tell is that we used to get two copies of The Guardian delivered every day; that’s a useful short-hand for my secular, liberal upbringing. 

When I worked in a rape crisis centre, it was a real confrontation with reality. The gap between what I had been taught and what I was experiencing shook my faith in feminist theory.
