Episode notes

i fear that as we approach mid terms, the democrats are doubling down in some ways on their current gender divide. Andi think it's a huge political opportunity for them to do so i have two thoughts about tisem and one is that it's just striking how much of a gender gap there now is in american par its. I honestly think that anybody that doesn't take seriously the appeal of people like jordan peterson, especially to young men, just isn't paying attention and isn't being serious.

Richard Reeves is a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution. He is the author of Dream Hoarders and, most recently, Of Boys and Men: Why the Modern Male Is Struggling, Why It Matters, and What to Do About It.
