DEEP DIVE: Why do so many young people hate feminism?

from Hack · host Australian Broadcasting Corporation

Has feminism gone too far? Is misogyny getting worse? It turns out your answer to that question might might come down less to your gender, and more to your age. A survey of younger and older Australian men and women has found some pretty big differences in opinions on gender, feminism and misogyny. So what's going on? And how do Australian attitudes compare to what people in other parts of the world think? On this week's deep dive, we hear from young Australians on these topics, dig into some data that suggest younger men and women have more conservative views than their parents, and talk to two different researchers about some trends they both reckon are pretty alarming.Guests: Dr Sara Meger, researcher and senior lecturerDr Lisa Portolan, author and researcherGet the whole story from hack:Follow us on Instagram and TikTokSubscribe to the hack podcastListen on the triple j app or on your radio live every weeknight at 5:30pm
