Welcome to the weekly Fairer Disputations round-up: your one-stop shop for the best in sex-realist feminism. This week: Julie Bindel on the men who say no to porn, Samantha Stephenson on the false promises of the egg freezing industry, and Patrick T. Brown with a proposal to make life easier for expectant and new mothers. Plus: PR firms and drag, the sex dolls are coming, the gender wage gap for college grads—and more!
First, Julie Bindel interviews various men who say no to porn–and makes the case that these men are “our only hope” of getting other men to give up porn.
Next, Samantha Stephenson argues that the egg freezing industry serves corporate interests rather than women’s interests.
Finally, Featured Author Patrick T. Brown makes a proposal that could make life easier for new mothers and mothers-to-be: temporary preferred parking placards.

In Feminism Without Illusions: A Critique of Individualism, historian and cultural critic Elizabeth Fox-Genovese examines American feminism:
Feminism Without Illusions takes a critical but sympathetic look at American feminism, focusing on its commitment to the premises of individualism. Noted historian Elizabeth Fox-Genovese argues that feminism has neither adequately acknowledged its ties to individualism nor squarely faced the extent to which many of its campaigns for social justice are based on an insistence on the rights of the individual over the good of the community.
