Are the Gender Wars Really About Class?

In this engaging and thought-provoking episode, Malcolm and Simone delve into the concept of 'gender wars' and explore a compelling theory suggesting that these conflicts are rooted more in class differences than in gender. The discussion pivots around an argument from the Substack writer known as 'cartoons hate her,' who posits that the clashes between upper middle class women and lower middle class men are fundamentally about class disparity. They explore various angles, including how different communities conform to class norms, the influence of the MAGA movement, and how social class impacts perceptions and interactions. Touching on topics like race, urban vs. rural divides, and generational differences, Malcolm and Simone offer a deep dive into understanding the true essence of many intergroup conflicts.
