The Same Drugs

Has feminism gone too far? UK writer and author of Feminism Against Progress, Mary Harrington, thinks so. In fact, she thinks we need to go back — way back. Modern technologies, cosmetic surgeries that chase youth eternally, and interventions like the pill have not offered women freedom or empowerment, leading us to wonder if things should have stopped with the first wave. Certainly, Mary believes we should be moving in an entirely different direction. In this episode, Meghan Murphy speaks with Mary about her anti-futuristic vision of the future.
