#2"All girls and women [...] should avoid being alone with men they don’t know"
I guess the default setting for my gender is 'predator'..

#3Boring article. OP is correct that the way young folks relate to each other socially is terrible these days, but trying to roll back the "sexual revolution" would do zilch to improve this. These things are not solely defined by sex, nor should they be.

#5This seems like such an inherently christian viewpoint. It starts by stating as an axiom that the following are inherently bad:
>porn
>hook-up culture
>fewer marriages
>fewer babies
These seem neutral to positive to me as someone not mired in christian morality.

#6Blame the apps. None of this would be possible if it weren't for tinder and friends making hook up culture a thing. I would bet dollars to donuts that the folks thriving in this environment would not have the confidence to do the same thing in person.

The last one is a serious problem in most Western countries. As the society gets older, there are fewer people who can work and actually sustain the rest of the population.

Rolling back is never an option. We can learn from past mistakes, though. For example, as far as I can tell, men are more frustrated with dating apps, but they're not that happy either. Moreover, we're discussing a subject that is extremely subjective, so we might not even be able to reach a reasonable conclusion.

Fewer babies are the results of the disastrous labour, wages and housing policies in the west, making having a family and a home super expensive for young couples, so everyone spends the prime of their fertility studying and slaving away at shitty stressful jobs hoping to get a leg up in this insane economy.
Baby boomer made tons of babies because housing was cheap, and stable jobs requiring minimal education were plentiful. Both of those are gone now.
Tinder didn't cause this, our governments did and they have the power to fix it but don't want to because "house prices must go up" so speculators can get a return.
