Namely, that this kind of sexual liberation doesn't necessarily work symmetrically for young men who grow up in these kinds of religious environments.

I do not think that a lack of symmetry is sufficient reason to scuttle an improvement in people's lives, which sex positivity appears to be.

I also observe that the sympathy one receives for a hardship is not linearly proportional to the amount one advertises that hardship.
