DOCUMENTARY - What’s Pulling Young Men to the Right?
Manage episode 505556133 series 3418004
Gen Z’s political gender gap is widening. Young women are trending left, while young men drift right—and it’s not just politics. In this episode, we explore the cultural, social, and economic pressures shaping young men’s identities, from the “manosphere” to societal expectations around masculinity and the pressure to be the breadwinner.
We examine the consequences for democracy, social cohesion, and the future of civic engagement—and consider how society can create better spaces for young men to belong, participate, and thrive.
What you’ll learn in this episode:
- Why young men are drawn to exclusionary spaces online
- How societal pressures around masculinity and economic roles influence political choices
- The role of both the left and right in widening the gender gap
- Why this divide matters for democracy and social stability
- Paths toward healthier engagement and belonging
Guests:
- Rev. Angela Denker, award-winning author and journalist
- Mark Sutton, gender expert and author of How Democrats Can Win Back Men
- Eric Kaufmann, Professor of Politics and author of The Third Awokening
