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?
