#56 | The Right Relationship Between the Human Body & Technology

Is progress always a good thing no matter what? Mass culture seems to tell us that is is, but I’m not so sure. Especially how progress and our bodies intersect. One of the most important questions to ask is what is the right relationship between the human body and technology?Inspired by Mary Harrington, author of Feminist Against Progress, I lay out some of her ideas and expand on them. I focus on the birth control pill as the key technological shift that changed the way relationships between men and women work and how women view themselves and their bodies. Expect to learn what is a given? Politics aside, the key difference between progressives and conservatives and why we need to be at the same table? and why sex isn’t just sex?_________________________________________If you found some value today then help me spread the word!
