Welcome to the weekly Fairer Disputations round-up: your one-stop shop for the best in sex-realist feminism. This week: Erika Bachiochi on a pro-woman feminism for the 21st Century, Josephine Bartosch on why OnlyFans isn’t “feminist”, and Louise Perry on why Rotherham happened. Plus: performative charity, the new fertility inequality, tradwife as a kink, isolation and parenting, and more!
First, Fairer Disputations Editor-In-Chief Erika Bachiochi proposes returning to the original vision of women’s rights, with its emphasis on duties and relations over autonomy (Featured Author Mary Harrington has also recently published an important paper with Heritage).
Next, Josephine Bartosch argues that OnlyFans exploits, not empowers, women.
Finally, Louise Perry argues that the widespread use of online pornography and the clash of cultures lead to the horrors of Rotherham (note: this piece is paywalled).
