In her new book, Mona Charen calls for a counterrevolution. I join her in this call, heartily. Her book is Sex Matters: How Modern Feminism Lost Touch with Science, Love, and Common Sense. Today is its launch day, and I’ve written about it, here.

Back to the counterrevolution: Mona writes, “It’s time to move past hookup culture and the sexual revolution to an ethic that encourages love and tenderness on the part of both men and women — a sexual counterrevolution. Most women know intuitively that such a culture would be preferable. Good men would agree.”

And let me quote a little bit more — this time from my piece. I say I expect that Mona’s book will be widely praised and widely attacked. “Unusually, both the praisers and the attackers will know it’s true. Much of what Mona says is obvious — but it takes a special kind of courage to state the obvious, sometimes.”

Yes. I was quoting Charles Krauthammer to this effect just last week. Mona has poured her time, intellect, and heart into this new book of hers. It is written in her usual felicitous style. The book is a “feast of vital truths,” as I say today. I am grateful for its appearance. I even harbor the hope that it will make a dent — a good and necessary dent — in our society.
