/549/ Why Has Politics Genderised? ft. Ashley Frawley (Patreon)

On angry young women.

Ashley Frawley, sociologist and senior editor at Compact, joins Alex and George to delve more deeply into young people's political polarisation on gender lines.

Why is there a lack of mutual understanding or goodwill between young men and women when we have never been more equal?

Why do differing political views on anything from Israel/Palestine to Donald Trump cause such interpersonal rancour?

Young women are centrally concerned with pain, trauma, and empathy – and see men as lacking. What's behind this?

How is the conservative explanation (bad lefty ideas) just as faulty as the lefty one (patriarchy)?

What will the political consequences be of gender polarisation?
