Description
On reactionary feminism.
[Patreon Exclusive]
We continue our discussions on contemporary feminism by looking at the diametric opposite of the atomistic vision presented by Sophie Lewis: the conservative, communitarian approach advanced by Mary Harrington.
Harrington is critical of 'Progress Theology'. What does that mean, beyond rejecting new orthodoxies on gender – does that mean rejecting progress wholesale? If liberalism has reached a dead end, what intellectual supports should we draw upon?
And if we join Harrington in rejecting the 'caring' state – the 'antiseptic cyborg devouring mother' – does that mean also defending 'care' against 'freedom', as she does?
Readings:
Feminism against Progress, Mary Harrington, Regenery
Reactionary Feminist, Mary Harrington, Substack
/49/ Kids & Confessions ft. Amber A'Lee Frost
/50/ On The Market ft. Anna Khachiyan
