Welcome to the weekly Fairer Disputations round-up: your one-stop shop for the best in sex-realist feminism. This week: Josephine Bartosch on the moral panic over losing access to porn, Liv Hagye with considerations on legal prohibition and social acceptance of porn and abortion, and Elliot Haspel and Ivana Greco on coming to a truce in the mommy wars. Plus: what’s a feminist to make of male cheerleaders, inseminated without consent, partnership is a privilege—and more!
First, Josephine Bartosch suggests that more rage comes from porn users who are legally forced to verify their age than from a society which should be upset about porn’s many harms.
Next, Liv Hagye lays out considerations for legal prohibitions of moral acts—and suggests that the most effective time to ban porn will be once culture at large accepts its societal harms.
Finally, Elliot Haspel and Featured Author Ivana Greco write about how stay-at-home parents defy expectations, and how governmental child care solutions can be best implemented that meet the needs of all parents.
