Hello, it's Eliza Philby here and welcome to Radical, conversations about the global trends changing our world and radical ideas for the future.
Amol's away for a few weeks, yes, doing traitors, so there will be a few of us sitting in for him in the meantime.
I'm an author and historian who specialises in generational change.
And as some of you may remember, I've also been a previous guest on Radical.
And speaking of generational change, that brings us onto our topic this week.
Because something I'm fascinated by is the radical change that's happening amongst young women.
Recent surveys indicate that young women's perspectives on politics, economics, work and especially sex, dating and relationships differ sharply from those of men.
Let me give you some examples from recent polling done by Merlin Strategy for the New Statesman.
So Gen Z women are far less likely to say that they feel happy, ambitious, excited and fulfilled than their male peers.
48% of young men believe the economy works well for people like them.
But that's compared to just 34% of young women.
And 60% of the young women polled said they would find it difficult to date someone who had a different view on Gaza.
For those with a different view on Donald Trump, it was 74%.
And only 35% of those under 25 said that they had a positive view of men.
Now, all of this has coincided with the rise of the Femisphere, an online space that mirrors the Manosphere in its sceptical,
often pessimistic outlook towards the opposite sex and heterosexual relationships.
Now, fortunately, I am joined by the ideal guest to unpack all of this, Dr. Jilly Kay.
She's an expert in feminist media and cultural studies at Loughborough University and just so happens to be the person who originally coined the term the femisphere.
So Dr. Julie Kay, thank you so much for joining me.
We've heard a lot recently about this term, the phemosphere.
