Is Feminism the Answer to Sexual Harassment?
Beyond partisanship, the feminist record is unhelpful. From the inception of “second wave” feminism in the 1960s, the movement embraced sexual “liberation” as part of women’s liberation.

It was the “double standard” they took aim at, not sexual license itself.
