>>9600226The birth control pill. It sparked the sexual revolution, but honestly it is the simple ability to choose to have sex while also choosing to not have children.
The birth control pill had a larger impact on society than the internet did. A larger impact than smart phones did. Look around, it is easy to see the impact of the internet and phones, but not so easy to see the impact of the behavioral change of the birth control pill.
Its invisible to you, which makes it so damned insidious. Before the birth control pill, women risked their lives with abortions, and they DID risk their lives with abortions, that is how important it was to not have kids sometimes. It was worth betting their lives. And now a condom or a pill reduces that risk to next to nothing, and modern abortions are significantly more safe.
Women having sex for fun? That doesn't exist without modern inventions. Now think about how many things that changes.
