Let's point out some counterexamples:
-Freedom of smoking cigarettes is declining. Many countries have banned smoking in public, which would be unthinkable in the 1950s.
-Very Inclusivist countries like Canada and Sweden made paying for sex illegal
-Age of consent was also raised in many countries during the Millennial saeculum
It might be the case that "social freedoms" were on the rise because Christian piety was in decline. If a morally demanding religion or philosophy becomes popular again during the 2T, social freedoms will be restricted throughout the next 3T and 4T.
