Is Feminism Changing For The Worse? - Bryan Caplan - #708

Bryan Caplan is an economist at George Mason University and author.

Bryan wrote a letter to his young daughter encouraging her to not become a feminist. Which begs the question, why would a father not want this? In what ways are women being taken advantage of by an ideology, and how might Bryan be wrong?

Expect to learn what trade offs feminism is making at the moment and why they're dangerous, why feminism does not like traditionally feminine roles, why there is so much of a lack of individual agency in the modern world, where the recent trend of demonising having children came from, why more people should not conform, how to think for yourself and much more...
