E13 | Feminism Against Progress with Mary Harrington

Mary Harrington is a columnist and contributing editor at UnHerd and runs her own Substack, Reactionary Feminist. She is the author of the widely acclaimed book, Feminism Against Progress, and is considered one of the most influential feminist thinkers in the West.   In this episode, we discuss Mary’s critique of industrial era feminist narratives and her call for a feminism that embraces interdependence and radical solidarity. We also discuss why abolishing Big Romance (but not Mr. Big) might lead to the happiness that can be found in an upcycled vintage social technology, a.k.a. marriage. Mary offers a fresh perspective on progress and the importance of preserving social bonds.
