Has Modern American Feminism Failed Us? - Examining the Impact on Society
Offered By: The Aspen Institute via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore a thought-provoking discussion on the impact of modern American feminism in this hour-long talk from The Aspen Institute. Delve into author and political commentator Mona Charen's critique of liberal feminist assumptions as she presents arguments from her book "Sex Matters: How Modern Feminism Lost Touch with Science, Love, and Common Sense." Examine the potential negative consequences of feminist ideology, including family breakdown, declining female happiness, male aimlessness, and increasing inequality. Gain insights from Charen's analysis, which combines social science research with her personal experiences as a professional, wife, and mother. Consider the provocative question of whether a "sexual ceasefire" is necessary in light of these issues. Join speakers Mona Charen and Inez Feltscher Stepman as they challenge conventional wisdom and offer a fresh perspective on feminism's role in contemporary American society.
