Welcome to the weekly Fairer Disputations round-up: your one-stop shop for the best in sex-realist feminism. This week: Mary Harrington on Gisèle Pelicot’s triumph, Ashley Frawley on why the gender wars have invaded our conversations about school shooters, and Ivana Greco on homemaker’s hidden role in maintaining social ties. Plus: board gender quotas, big families, Abigail Shrier’s vindication, and more!
First, Featured Author Mary Harrington argues that Gisèle Pelicot’s story is ultimately a triumphant one.
Next, Ashley Frawley asks why we immediately posit a gender-war explanation when faced with a school shooting (note: this piece is paywalled).
Finally, Featured Author Ivana Greco on the homemaker’s hidden but necessary role in maintaining social ties.
