This week: Erika Bachiochi on the dead-end of political misogyny, Eliza Mondegreen on the cover-up of scientific evidence that gender-affirming care doesn’t work, and Josephine Bartosch on Laila Mickelwait’s fight against big porn. Plus: neighboring, tradwives, how intersectionality killed feminism, several upcoming events, and more!

Next, Featured Author Eliza Mondegreen on the New York Times piece reporting that a study on “gender-affirming care” had been withheld because of politics—and how gender medicine in general relies on secrecy.
Finally, Josephine Bartosch reviews Laila Mickelwait’s Takedown, about her fight against big porn’s profiting off sexual abuse and human trafficking.
