## Resource

What if sexual liberation left men and women more divided, not more free? In this condensed recap of the original full-length conversation, Ross Douthat speaks with Louise Perry, author of The Case Against the Sexual Revolution, about contraception, biology, casual sex, feminism, marriage, MeToo, and the rise of online misogyny and ideological radicalization. Perry argues that the pill transformed modern life, but that sex-positive culture often ignores the unequal costs women face in relationships, pregnancy, and family life. She also revisits Andrea Dworkin, Catharine MacKinnon, tradwife trends, and the growing political split between young women and young men.
