Über diesen Titel

In Feminism Against Progress, Mary Harrington argues that the industrial-era faith in progress is turning against all but a tiny elite of women. Women's liberation was less the result of human moral progress than an effect of the material consequences of the Industrial Revolution. We've now left the industrial era for the age of AI, biotech and all-pervasive computing. As a result, technology is liberating us from natural limits and embodied sex differences. Although this shift benefits a small class of successful professional women, it also makes it easier to commodify women's bodies, human intimacy and female reproductive abilities.

This is a stark warning against a dystopian future whereby poor women become little more than convenient sources of body parts to be harvested and wombs to be rented by the rich. Progress has now stopped benefiting the majority of women, and only a feminism that is sceptical of it can truly defend female interests in the 21st century.

Important counter narrative to common feminist ideology that is a must read for women today. Definitely recommend it and recommend following up with books and essays mentioned, like the case against the sexual revolution.

Must read: Relieved convert to reactionary feminism now

A vigorous, brutally honest look at feminism and how it shaped our Zeitgeist in need of an urgent reactionary reform. Brilliant

Zeitgeistcapsule of the last century of feminism proper, sadly.
