Novum


The Pregnant Man

October 27, 2016

This week's episode of Novum deals with an unusual consequence of the feminist utopia: male isolationism and the post-gendered, pregnant man. We'll consider what the future holds for the two-sex binary. Science fiction posits both the possibility that the divide will be abolished, and the possibility that it will become an impassable chasm. During this episode of the program, we'll be discussing pregnant 'men' in fiction and reality, from Ursula Le Guin to the Arnold Schwarzenegger vehicle "Junior."
