EPISODE SUMMARY

In this episode of Modern Wisdom, featuring Chris Williamson and Daniel Cox, Why Women Have Become Much More Liberal Than Men - Daniel Cox explores why Gen Z Women Lean Left As Young Men Check Out Politically Pollster Daniel Cox explains a historically large ideological gap emerging between young American women and men, driven mostly by women becoming markedly more liberal since around 2014 while young men stay moderate and increasingly disengaged. He links this to MeToo, abortion politics, rising LGBTQ identification, higher female college attendance, and social media–fuelled perceptions of gender and safety. Young men, meanwhile, feel dislocated, under‑served by institutions, and are withdrawing from politics, dating, religion, and civic life, often retreating into online worlds. Both hosts argue that social media, decreasing in‑person sociability, and declining trust are amplifying gender antagonism and a zero‑sum view of empathy between the sexes.
