“The sexual revolution promised liberation. Fifty years on, we ask: has it delivered?”
In an era where it is controversial even to define what a woman is, the best thing we can do is raise our voices in unguarded discussions about where the future of feminism is headed. The art of healthy discourse has dissolved in recent decades, but The Free Press is taking the initiative by amplifying the conversation with a ringside debate. I've never been one for sports, but I can surely get behind competing intellects punching back at glaring social discrepancies on a well-lit stage in a historical amphitheater in downtown LA.
"The sexual revolution promised liberation. Fifty years on, we ask: has it delivered? That's the urgent question we're going to tackle live at the Ace," said Weiss. "We live in an era in which debate has become impossible. At The Free Press, we believe it's never been more necessary. I cannot wait to be on stage with these four brilliant women to discuss a subject that impacts every man, woman, boy, and girl." - Bari Weiss, as moderator
