from The Good Fight · host Yascha Mounk

Yascha Mounk and Mary Harrington debate whether or not societies have made significant progress towards gender equality. Mary Harrington is a writer and a contributing editor at UnHerd. She is the author of Feminism Against Progress.  In this week’s conversation, Yascha Mounk and Mary Harrington discuss second-wave feminism and the downstream consequences of the sexual revolution; the unintended effects of industrialization and contraceptive use; and whether the contraceptive revolution has, as Harrington argues, brought about a greater commodification of female sexuality.
