Welcome to the weekly Fairer Disputations round-up: your one-stop shop for the best in sex-realist feminism. 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!
First, Fairer Disputations Editor-in-Chief Erika Bachiochi takes on the right’s political misogyny and makes the case that men and women must trust each other and work together for a brighter future.

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.
