Welcome to the weekly Fairer Disputations round-up: your one-stop shop for the best in sex-realist feminism. This week: Larissa Phillips on becoming a wife, Erika Bachiochi on the feminist pope, and Julie Bindel on Justin Trudeau’s feminist hellscape. Plus: the erectile dysfunction-industrial complex, an ode to the vanilla wife, the billionaire, the influencer and their baby, video of our Flowers of Fire book club discussion—and more!
First, Larissa Phillips tells of how she came to disagree with the saying “A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle.”
Next, Fairer Disputations Editor-in-Chief writes about John Paul II, the feminist pope, for The Wall Street Journal.
Finally, Julie Bindel calls out “feminist” Justin Trudeau for the damage he’s done to the women of Canada.
