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 do differing political views on anything from Israel/Palestine to Donald Trump cause such interpersonal rancour?
