Welcome to the weekly Fairer Disputations round-up: your one-stop shop for the best in sex-realist feminism. This week: Mary Harrington on male repression, Malcolm Clark on the safeguarding blindspot in the LGBTQ+ movement, and Ashley Losoya on why we should make allowances for Congressional moms to vote by proxy. Plus: crunchy moms, Ashton Hall’s morning routine and men, Adolescence, protecting female sport—and more!
First, Featured Author Mary Harrington suggests that perhaps male repression is actually pro-social.
In The Critic, Malcolm Clark argues that child abuse can often be found in LGBTQ+ organizations because they don’t believe child safeguarding measures apply to them.
Finally, Ashley Losoya makes the case that Congress should allow proxy voting for Congressional mothers who have just given birth.
