Porn, Feminism and Misogyny in the Media with Sarah Ditum

Porn, Feminism and Misogyny in the Media with Sarah Ditum

Elizabeth Oldfield speaks with writer and columnist Sarah Ditum. 06/11/2024

Sarah Ditum delves into her journey through the strands of feminism, the misogynistic “upskirt decade”, the invasive celebrity culture of the late 90s and 2000s that often exploited and shamed young women, and her views on the role of pornography and its impact on mainstream culture.

Sarah is a critic and columnist for The Times and The Sunday Times, and author of the book “Toxic: Women and the Noughties.”

This wide–ranging conversation provides a nuanced look at the evolution of feminist thought, the power of media narratives, and the personal experiences that have informed Sarah Ditum’s worldview.
