Lots of people express their dissatisfaction with those changes in 'moral' terms. I think Larry is one of them. Trying to engage in a rational discussion about those issues is pretty hard because most of the arguments which supported patriarchy don't have traction anymore. The only solution for those people dissatisfied with these changes is to be born again.
