Welcome to the weekly Fairer Disputations round-up: your one-stop shop for the best in sex-realist feminism. This week: Leah Libresco Sargeant, Helen Andrews, and Ross Douthat discuss whether liberal feminism ruined the workplace, Nicholas Kristof writes about child marriage in America, and Jo Bartosch and Robert Jessel discuss pornography’s role in the Charlie Kirk murder. Plus: porn guys repel women, progressives and pregnancy, the surrogacy exploitation crisis, teaching women—and more!
First, Leah Libresco Sargeant and Helen Andrews discuss whether we have too much feminization in the workplace or too little.
Next, Nicholas Kristof draws attention to the fact that in much of America, children (in most cases, girls) are allowed to marry.
Finally, Jo Bartosch and Robert Jessel discuss the influence of the “furry” fetish on the Charlie Kirk murder, and argue that widespread pornography use will lead to more violence.
