In January, a new online journal launched: Fairer Disputations. The brainchild, in large part, of Erika Bachiochi, the journal is (to quote the official description):
Fairer Disputations is an international community of scholars, public intellectuals, journalists, and advocates that aims to advance a sex-realist feminism. We aggregate and publish popular and scholarly articles dedicated to defending a vision of female and male as embodied expressions of human personhood, with special focus on the current threats to women and girls from sex trafficking and prostitution, pornography, trans ideology, and reproductive technology. Though united in an understanding that biological sex is real, we publish an array of perspectives on how society ought properly to accommodate that reality.
You may not agree fully with every premise here, but if you are thinking that modern feminism is failing women and/or if you are thinking that the modern society and its way of life are failing women and families and/or if you think that Christian feminism can mean something much deeper than the current evangelical discourse provides, you should be reading this journal.
Weekly installments arrive on Fridays, and this week’s is particularly rich, containing an excerpt from Mary Harrington’s new book, Feminism Against Progress (which we will be reviewing in Current soon) and a roundtable of responses to Harrington’s book. The weekly newsletter also features relevant content from around the web, and this week, it includes Ivana Greco’s important and sobering essay in Compact, Why Rural Maternity Wards Are Disappearing; and also the roundtable here at Current earlier this week, launching Jennifer Banks’ book Natality.
