What Happens When Vice Becomes Normal and Virtue Becomes Strange
When virtue becomes optional, disorder quietly takes the throne. Our age mocks modesty, scorches chastity, and calls vice enlightenment—never seeing the collapse this creates.

❦ Everyone Is Wrong About Porn; Here’s What Nobody Is Saying
Modern discourse about sexuality has become a tug-of-war of accusation. Mention pornography, chastity, modesty, or moral responsibility, and instantly the two sexes retreat into battle formation. Women insist pornography is a male failure, and men respond with grievances of female hypocrisy, nagging or both. But beneath all the fighting, something ancient, important, and fragile is breaking. This is not a debate about porn. Not really. This is a revelation of the interior collapse of the feminine soul in this modern age; and the masculine soul as well (but I speak to women, not men). To mend what is unraveling, we must speak plainly, gently, and without fear.
