Why 'Progress' is Bad for Women - Mary Harrington

Mar 6, 2023

Mary Harrington, a writer and author of "Feminism Against Progress," is known for her contrarian feminist views. In this discussion, she critiques the commodification of fertility and the societal costs of technological advances for women. Harrington challenges the notion of progress being universally beneficial, particularly for women, and exposes the disconnect between elite ideologies and diverse women's realities. She also delves into redefining marriage, the impact of remote work on family dynamics, and the need for deeper sexual connections in a modern context.
