Welcome to the weekly Fairer Disputations round-up: your one-stop shop for the best in sex-realist feminism. Christine Emba on porn’s harms, Elizabeth Grace Matthew on maternal ambivalence, and Ivana Greco on the other “greedy” jobs. Plus: a non-neurotic modern motherhood, the stories girls need, a matchmaking event—and more!
First, Christine Emba asks why so few people are willing to publicly disapprove of porn.
Next, Elizabeth Grace Matthews reviews a recent book on maternal ambivalence and asks: why is motherhood viewed as a hobby rather than a public service?
Finally, Featured Author Ivana Greco examines the notion of “greedy” jobs, and argues that the existence of such jobs may cause us to be skeptical that a perfect 50-50 division of labor is possible—or even preferable.
