>The sexual revolution--alongside all the other counter-culture movements happening simultaneously, encouraged people to become as open-minded as possible...
>open-minded
no it didn't? if being open-minded means being willing to change your ideas about something, that's not what the sexual revolution was about - not anymore than your average political movement. like various movements, left or right, the purpose is generally to get people to adopt your own beliefs. most leftists - and most people, as far as I can tell - more or less maintain their core political beliefs which they've had from a young age and don't have much care to put their ideas to the test and see where they're wrong: that's not being open-minded.

>>gender roles
leftists now are actually quite strict with gender roles. they say "yeah, let's allow for more genders. we're being inclusive!!" and fail to realize that that necessarily limits the gender binary and makes it much more strict what a woman and man can be. in my adolesence, most people seemed to be on board with the concept of tomboys, for instance. but now you have leftists who say "welp, you like cars and don't wear skirts, so you can't be a woman!" so the flip side of being "open-minded" and "inclusive" is necessarily restrictive. this is why you see the divide between terfs and 3rd wave feminists.
