Few people understand why psychedelics and promiscuity were promoted together as part of feminism... 
Erich Neumann (1905 – 1960) saw modernity as a reversion to 'effeminacy' and 'the negative aspect of the Great Mother.'
In his theory, ego consciousness is a male development and supersedes non-individuated infancy.
He illustrated this with the Gilgamesh epic...

In the Gilgamesh epic, the goddess Ishtar admires Gilgamesh’s virility and tries to seduce him.
But he KILLS her because he knows the fate of her former lovers.
This echoes the younger male god Marduk's killing of the female water-monster Tiamat in the poem 'Enuma Elish'.

Why must the masculine heroes kill Ishtar and Tiamat? Because they are both Gaia figures...
As Neumann warns, “The stronger the masculine ego-consciousness becomes, the more it is aware of the emasculating, bewitching, deadly, and stupefying nature of the Great Goddess.”

The masculine hero reverses the son-lover sacrifice by dismemberment and castration common in ancient myths and cults:
- Attis and Cybele (Phrygian)
- Adonis and Aphrodite (Greek)
- Tammuz and Inanna (Syrian)
As Frazer said, the female earth wants "the blood-seed of the male.”

In Hesiod's 'Theogony,' Zeus brings light and order to darkness and chaos.
The masculine means LAW.
And “this dominance of masculinity," says Neumann, determines the spiritual development of Western man.”
But psychedelics emasculate and stupefy with passivity and unity.

Neumann says modernity means "centreless agglomeration."
It threatens to dissolve the clan, tribe or village by first atomising then massifying it.
Anything attaching to FORM is attacked - including even sexual dimorphism itself.
And psychedelics aim at womb-like oneness.

For Neumann, "the global revolution which has seized upon modern man" is the attack on the masculine principle of order.
Feminisation and collectivisation are aspects of ONE THING:
“The individual soul is swallowed back by the Terrible Mother."
It's cultural dissolution.

Using Jung's term 'participation mystique,' Neumann says modernity is the tug of the unconscious towards formlessness and chaos.
It's the assault on all borders from individuals and sexes to nations.
Promiscuity undermines the family; psychedelics undermine rationality.

In contrast to the feminine pantheism of nature worship and psychedelics, Christianity says God created the world ex nihilo, NOT out of Himself as in pagan cosmology.
That's feminine.
He is utterly transcendent, and man can't take a single step towards Him with psychedelics.
