Has feminism gone too far? Is misogyny getting worse? 

It turns out your answer to that question might might come down less to your gender, and more to your age. 

A survey of younger and older Australian men and women has found some pretty big differences in opinions on gender, feminism and misogyny. 

So what's going on? 

And how do Australian attitudes compare to what people in other parts of the world think? 

On this week's deep dive, we hear from young Australians on these topics, dig into some data that suggest younger men and women have more conservative views than their parents, and talk to two different researchers about some trends they both reckon are pretty alarming.

Guests: 

• Dr Sara Meger, researcher and senior lecturer

The minimum amount of holidays for a full-time worker in Australia is four weeks a year.

But is that enough? 

Unions are pushing for workers to get one whole week extra, in what they reckon would be the first substantial increase to the minimum standards since the mid 70s. 

Part of the argument for younger workers is that the change is especially important because they're already doing several weeks' worth of unpaid overtime every year. 

Not everyone backs it though: some small businesses reckon they simply can't afford it. 

In the deep dive today, we unpack the proposal for an extra week of holidays, and hear from an expert who reckons Aussies aren't even using the leave we're already getting.
