Life and career
Born in Moscow to a Jewish family,[3] Ekaterina Jung was 17 when her family emigrated to the United States in 1980. She became a naturalized citizen in 1987 as Catherine Alicia Young and graduated from Rutgers University in 1988.[4] She completed her autobiography, Growing Up in Moscow: Memories of a Soviet Girlhood, published in 1989.
Young is a contributing editor at Reason. Since 2014, she has regularly contributed to Time magazine.[5]
Feminism
Views
In her second book, Ceasefire!: Why Women and Men Must Join Forces to Achieve True Equality, published in 1999, Young criticized both feminism and traditionalism from what she described as a "pro-equality point of view",[6] a philosophy which she says may be called "feminism or something else".[7] Young has defended the social media campaign Women Against Feminism.[8]
Describing the Gamergate controversy in relation to feminism, Young has stated that she believes that Gamergate is a backlash against feminism but one that is "against a particular kind of feminism, one that has a tendency to look obsessively for offences, read ideology into everything, and demonize male sexuality under the pretext of stamping out 'the objectification of women'."[9]
In 2015, Young wrote an article in The Daily Beast in which she interviewed the student whom anti-rape activist Emma Sulkowicz accused of rape.[10] In a response, Sulkowicz described Young as an "anti-feminist", saying that Young published Facebook conversations between her and her alleged rapist to shame her.[11][12][13] Heather Wilhelm wrote in RealClearPolitics that Young's article about Sulkowicz "sets aside the hype and soberly assesses the facts."[14] Citing Young's article, Katie Zavadski described her in New York magazine as a "contrarian feminist".[15]
Young supports legally recognizing same-sex marriages.[16] She describes her political views as "libertarian/conservative".[2]
Reception
In his book The Blank Slate, Steven Pinker identifies Young as an "equity feminist",[17]Шаблон:Rp and further describes her as an "iconoclastic columnist" who has argued against rape-related "dogma".[17]Шаблон:Rp She has also written stories critical of campus anti-rape activism.[11][18] Commentary magazine stated that Young re-investigates "atrocious coverage of campus sexual assault myths" in the "hopes of setting the record straight and minimizing some of the incredible damage the accusations have done".[19]
