Who profited from available contraceptives ? Women or men ? It will be the latter. Sex without responsibility. And if woman got pregnant they could explained to be blamed and abortion was still illegal "you should have taken the pill, you daft hag !" and both sex outside marriage (for women only.. of course) let alone abortion carried a huge stigma and desperate women tried to have all sorts of illegal abortions. And the man.. freed of his responsibility got away with it more than before because then it would have ended up in a shotgun marriage.
Who profited from the new "beauty ideals ?" The fashion industry did.. leaving many insecure about their own looks and aspiring to ever more unrealistic looks.
Who benefited from the abolition of grading as based on ability and publishing what the best schools were ? The rich who moved in and who snatched the homes closest to the better schools, forcing the poor out.
Who benefited from the country culture ? Phonies like Warhol who made good money out of it ?
Who benefited from tearing down traditional neighbourhoods and building miles after miles of a new concrete jungle ? Entrepreneurs.
Who benefited from all the festivals ? Entrepreneurs.
Who benefited from the "live now, pay later"that the liberals came up with ? Well.. at the end of the day the banks since people got themselves in debt where a generation before the word debt was seen as a curse.

What the 1960s and liberalism have done is not liberating people: it's wanton destruction without providing a real alternative to the old world. It's quite the opposite of "liberation". DId the decolonisation liberate Africa btw ? Hardly.. some African areas were still relatively wealthy in the early 60s. By the 1970s they were dirt poor and in perpetual chaos all because of hasty decolonisations and a lack of common sense.

And you may not like to hear it but there it is ? Relaxed immigration laws ? And more women entering the workforce ? Who benefitted ? Industry did as wages could be slashed. In my grandfather's day (50s, early 60s) people earned a living wage enough to feed a family. Today both husband and wife have to work and their only just make ends meet.
