Ep. 17 - “Sex Scandal” and the erasure of sexual difference
Conversations with Consequences
What does “sex” mean? What about “gender?” There’s a lot of competing information out there about the ways in which men and women are different, and why it matters. Your host, Dr. Grazie Christie, sits down with the Catholic Association’s Ashley McGuire and Andrea Picciotti-Bayer to talk about Ashley’s 2017 book, “Sex Scandal: The Drive to Abolish Male and Female." We talk about what the breakdown of sexual differences means for women in sports, sex selective abortions, the #Metoo movement and more.
