Critical Thinking - Gender Crisis - A Woman’s View (Part 2)

The Black Spy Podcast Season 9, Episode 0007

The advent of culture wars in government, the boardroom, public services and even its trickle down into societal norms has changed the West in particular. This week we have part 2 of one woman’s view (Firgas Esack) of this gender clash in discussion with Carlton King.

This podcast follows Carlton’s previous critical thinking episodes in which the he argued that Trump and Johnson are the unintended consequences of the old guard - white men (however in reality, wealthy and/or ‘traditionalist’ white men and women) - clinging on to power by instigating othering and appealing to nativist sentiments.

Hence, in this week’s Critical Thinking episode, the Black Spy explores what he believes is one of the most crucial outward changes in society, fostered by these single issue ‘cultural’ affiliations - the conflict between the genders.

Truthfully however, the struggle for societal peace is being destabilised on a much broader basis than just gender; as the same drivers are at work regarding racism, class inequality, ageism, religious antagonism, widening income disparity, sexual politics, gender assignment, nativism and indeed countless other differential imbalances or societal prejudices. But, the question is, are these laudable struggles, being taken to far? And are they even factual in concept?

Carlton hones in on gender, as it is the largest of these fault lines to assess this battle field.

In short, Carlton asks if the West is engaged in a destructive individualism, where everybody knows their rights, but few seem to have an understanding of their collective obligations.

Carlton believes this situation is feed by a lack of knowledge of our real history and the position held by the vast majority of our ancestors.

Carlton also asks if those obtaining the greatest advantage out of these various struggles, are the ones who have actually suffered the least from prejudice limiting their opportunities and are indeed often those who have always reaped the benefits of society. These are the people seem to who utilise the past disadvantages suffered by others, generally of the lower classes, to once again reap the profits caused by these societal fissures.
