Welcome to the weekly Fairer Disputations round-up: your one-stop shop for the best in sex-realist feminism. This week: Sean Fischer on the new app that’s helping men quit porn, Beatrice Scudeler on the insidiousness of modern-day eugenics, and Kaeley Triller Harms on what Lauren Southern’s story teaches us about rape culture. Plus: why marriage survives, why girlboss vs. tradwife discourse needs to end, reasons to stop normalizing vasectomies—and more!
First, Sean Fischer profiles the makers of a new app that’s channelling manosphere energy to get Gen Z men off porn.
Next, Beatrice Scudeler offers a beautiful reflection on human suffering, medical technology, and the inherent goodness of human existence.
Finally, Kaeley Triller Harms takes a deeper look at the story of Lauren Southern. Ten years ago, Southern gained notoriety by loudly denying the existence of rape culture. Now, she has shared her own story of being assaulted by Andrew Tate, and the online response illustrates the very phenomenon she once denied.
