What an article. This stood out:
> Strikingly, the majority of young people do not identify as either right- or left-wing. Instead, young women see their politics as flowing from their deeply held progressive personal values, which they increasingly think are at odds with the country they see around them.
Why are we talking about young men going rightwards and the men's "loneliness epidemic" -- when the movement among young women is starker and it's men who are driving women away with sexism.
