The growing alienation between men and women is, to my mind, one of the biggest stories of our time.
It’s warping our politics and culture through the rise of misogynistic influencers on the right and a growing sense of feminist despair on the left.
My guest this week believes that our problems today can be traced back to the sexual revolution. She argues that it reset relations between the sexes in a fundamentally negative way and ultimately benefited men. Louise Perry is a columnist for The Wall Street Journal’s Free Expression section and the author of “The Case Against the Sexual Revolution.”
