<br />
<blockquote><br />
One essentially anarchist revolution that has advanced enormously in<br />
our own day is the sexual revolution. It is anarchist precisely because it<br />
involves denying the authority of the regulations laid down by the state<br />
and by various religious enterprises over the activities of the individual.<br />
And we can claim that it has advanced, not because of the 'breakdown'<br />
of the family that moralists (quite erroneously) see all around them, but<br />
because in Western society more and more people have decided to<br />
conduct their sexual lives as they see best. Those who have prophesied<br />
dreadful consequences as a result of the greater sexual freedom which<br />
the young assert - unwanted babies, venereal disease and so on - are<br />
usually the very same people who seek the fulfilment of their prophesies<br />
by opposing the free availability to the young of contraception and the<br />
removal of the stigma and mystification that surround venereal disease.<br />
