The State of the Hetero Union Part 2: Here Come the Gender Wars with Amanda Montei and Tracy Clark-Flory

Feminist writers

Tracy Clark-Flory

and

Amanda Montei

join Sarah and Miranda for Part 2 of our discussion on relationships between men and women (listen to Part 1 here). We talk about the post-election landscape of gender relations — including the rise in both misogynistic rhetoric interest in boycotting men. Is this a gender war or a war on women? Is feminism responsible for the young male Trump voter? What do men and women owe each other, and what do we do with the men in our lives?
