Critical Thinking
Gender Crisis (Culture Wars)
The Black Spy Podcast Season 9, Episode 0003
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.
Indeed the Black Spy argues 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, are these often laudable struggles being taken to far? And are they factual in conception?
Carlton hones in on gender, as it is the largest of these fault lines to assess the battle field.
In short, the West is engaged in a destructive individualism, where everybody knows their rights, but seem to have limited 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 from opportunity limiting prejudice or, if its those who have always reaped the benefits, who utilise the past disadvantages suffered by others to once again reap the profits caused by these societal fissures.
