The Gender War Election

This podcast episode examines the complex interplay of gender dynamics in the current political landscape, focusing on how the Trump campaign's "masculinity first" strategy specifically targets disaffected men while marginalizing the urgent existential threats faced by women. Journalist Jill Filipovic articulates the implications of Donald Trump's choice of J.D. Vance, whose traditional views on gender further reinforce this tactical approach. In contrast, the Harris-Walz campaign seeks to reframe these gender narratives with a more inclusive vision that resonates with a diverse electorate, highlighting the importance of a message centered around shared values and communal progress rather than divisive rhetoric.
