Scott introduces one of the episode's most arresting data points: a 30-point ideological gap between young men and women that has opened in both the US and Germany within just six years [1] — John Burn-Murdoch "The media narrative says young men are radicalising right. The data says the opposite: young men haven't moved. Young women have shifted dr…" 32:32 . Burn-Murdoch explains the mechanism: TikTok and similar platforms feed young men and young women almost entirely different content clusters, including political content that nudges each group in different directions without ever being explicitly partisan. This doesn't require anyone to radicalise — just consistent, differential exposure. The pattern holds across the US, Germany, South Korea, and the UK, making social media the obvious common variable. Burn-Murdoch then delivers the data correction that lands hardest: the popular narrative — that the divide reflects young men drifting rightward toward figures like Andrew Tate — is wrong. Young men have not become more conservative in most countries. The entire movement comes from young women shifting significantly left. Scott adds that this is particularly counterproductive for birth rates, because the data also shows today's fathers are doing more domestic work than at any previously recorded point — meaning men are objectively better partners, but the prevailing online narrative says the opposite [2] — John Burn-Murdoch "Fathers doing more domestic work than ever: Data shows fathers are performing a larger share of domestic work and childcare than at any pre…" 37:51 .
A 30-point ideological gap between young men and women opened in both the US and Germany in just six years, with young women moving significantly left while young men largely stayed put.
The media narrative says young men are radicalising right. The data says the opposite: young men haven't moved. Young women have shifted dramatically to the left, and social media's algorithmic segregation — showing men and women entirely different content — is the most plausible explanation.
Data shows fathers are performing a larger share of domestic work and childcare than at any previously recorded point, directly contradicting the narrative that men are getting worse as partners.

At a childhood sleepover, Bobby Lee's friends drew penises on his face and he walked 7 miles home on a dirt road before being picked up by Eric Purvis's mom.
In 1950, about 60% of the world lived in extreme poverty; today it's about 1 in 10, attributable to capitalist economic growth.
From 2021 to 2024, 6 million children fell below the poverty line in the US after the expanded child tax credit expired.
Private domestic infant and international adoptions typically cost $40,000 to $70,000, while foster care adoption is the most affordable route at $0 to $2,000.
Historically, only 40% of men have ever reproduced — Galloway uses this to argue that romantic success requires effort, not a hall pass.
Robby Hoffman is the 7th of 10 children raised in a Hasidic household in Montreal, where the family was poor and comedy was a survival mechanism.
Robby's Hasidic community had no concept of 'too soon' in comedy — if it was funny, you threw it, and if you bombed, your sibling told you immediately.
