Rebecca Traister on the Radfem-Tradfem Divide

New York Magazine writer, acclaimed author and old(ish) school GenX feminist Rebecca Traister joins the pod to talk about her September article, “The Return Of The Marriage Plot: Why  everyone is suddenly so eager for men and women to get hitched.” Do trads have a point when they say the sexual revolution has led us down the primrose path and people need to start procreation early and often? Or is this simply the moral panic du jour and everyone should be left to their own devices — technological and otherwise? Also, artificial wombs: yay or nay?GUEST BIORebecca Traister is writer at large for New York magazine.
