Welcome to the weekly Fairer Disputations round-up: your one-stop shop for the best in sex-realist feminism. This week: Richard Dawkins on what makes men and women different, Darby Saxbe on whether feminism is a scapegoat for late-stage capitalism, and Maytal Eyal on putting an end to mom guilt. Plus: the virtue ethics of not being rich, novels are for women, pride protected a predator, breastfeeding and economics—and more!
First, Richard Dawkins clearly summarizes what science teaches us about the differences between men and women, and laments that much of the scientific world has fallen victim to gender ideology.
Next, psychologist Darby Saxe wades into the debate over feminism, suggesting that we often scapegoat “feminism” for flaws of late-stage capitalism.
Finally, Maytal Eyal suggests that therapy culture has resulted in much unnecessary guilt for mothers.
