However, Richardson's decision to focus on designs that feature in museums, where women are notoriously underrepresented, seems more retrograde than inspired.

But that attitude inevitably further alienates Trump and pushes him in a direction that is even more retrograde to the interests of US allies.

The messages he delivers range from hoary self-help empowerment talk (clean your room, stand up straight) to the more retrograde and political (a society run as a patriarchy makes sense and stems mostly from men's competence; the notion of white privilege is a farce).

Maudling was opposed to any proposal to join the Common Market on the basis that it would end Britain's right to make commercial agreements with New Zealand and Australia. He was later to remark that "I can think of no more retrograde step economically or politically". This comment was to be quoted against him when, less than two years later, he was Chancellor of the Exchequer at the time of the reopening of negotiations for Common Market membership.Beloff, N., p. 87.

Information Commissioner John Reid criticized the new proposed powers for his department under the legislation, arguing that they would create unnecessary bureaucracy.Kathryn May, "Watchdog blasts Tory reforms", Edmonton Journal, April 10, 2006, pg. A6. Shortly after the Accountability Act was introduced to parliament, Reid issued an emergency report saying that the legislation would "increase the government's ability to cover up wrongdoing, shield itself from embarrassment and control the flow of information to Canadians". He added that no government had ever put forward "a more retrograde and dangerous" set of proposals for dealing with access to information laws.

She wrote: "What's really worrying about Sex and the City 2 is not its Orientalism or crass materialism, but how easily this seemingly benign bubble-gum flick ends up fighting a very macho war of global one-upmanship on the bodies of women and gay men." British critic Mark Kermode declared it the worst film of 2010, saying he could think of nothing "more poisonous, more repugnant, more repulsive, more retrograde, more depressing than Sex and the City 2". Time named it one of the 10 worst movies based on TV shows. Sex and the City 2 received seven nominations at the 31st Golden Raspberry Awards, including Worst Picture.

The Ringer's Kate Knibbs wrote that Meg "would be the only Disney princess with a shitty ex-boyfriend" if she were an official Disney princess, "and perhaps that's for the best, because she's also the female Disney character who seems like she'd care the least about the distinction." Manuel Betancourt, writing for Catapult, identified Meg as a strong female role model who was one of his "most enduring" during his teenage years due to her dry wit. In addition to gradually abolishing "the more retrograde fairy tale princess stories Disney had been serving for decades", Betancourt believes Meg also helped audiences transition "to objectify its male protagonists". Fans have long revered Meg as a feminist icon.

Evgeny Lvovich Markov (, 8 October 1835, Shchigrovski region, Kursk Governorate, Imperial Russia, — 30 March 1903, Voronezh, Imperial Russia) was a Russian writer, critic and ethnographer. Originally a liberal author who contributed to Otechestvennye Zapiski, Delo and Vestnik Evropy among other magazines, Evgeny Markov gradually drifted towards the conservative camp, became part of the Slavophile movement and gained notoriety by being arguably the fiercest critic of Nikolai Nekrasov. Markov's major novel, Black Earth Field (Черноземное поле, 1878), eulogized the simple, close-to-nature life of an idealized, well-cultured Russian landlord. Even more retrograde was his collection of autobiographical notes and sketches Barchuki (Барчуки, 1874), full of nostalgia for 'simple and quiet virtues' of the old Russia's serfdom.
