I'm not an expert on the history of the feminist movement, but I do think the more sex-negative forms of feminism are more prominent today. A NYT op-ed advocating for the banning of pornography was just published a few days ago. It seems like to me, the sex wars were never won, they just were forgotten, with sex-negative feminists today latching on to #metoo and trying to use it to share their perspective, and it feels like they are more visible for the most part.

Are you sure Ross Douthat is coming at that question with particularly feminist motives? (I think his stance may be more related to conservatism and religion)

A NYT op-ed advocating for the banning of pornography was just published a few days ago. Ross Douthat is a politically right-wing anti-feminist; his anti-pornography attitude is unsurprising (and not new [0]; what's new is his attempt to tie it to #MeToo) but has nothing to do with the "sex-negative forms of feminism".
