Gen Z boys and men more likely than baby boomers to believe feminism harmful, says poll
theguardian.com

Boys and men from generation Z are more likely than older baby boomers to believe that feminism has done more harm than good, according to research that shows a “real risk of fractious division among this coming generation”.

On feminism, 16% of gen Z males felt it had done more harm than good. Among over-60s the figure was 13%.

The figures emerged from Ipsos polling for King’s College London’s Policy Institute and the Global Institute for Women’s Leadership. The research also found that 37% of men aged 16 to 29 consider “toxic masculinity” an unhelpful phrase, roughly double the number of young women who don’t like it.

“This is a new and unusual generational pattern,” said Prof Bobby Duffy, director of the Policy Institute. “Normally, it tends to be the case that younger generations are consistently more comfortable with emerging social norms, as they grew up with these as a natural part of their lives.”

Ah yes, confused men want to uphold the tradition of mysoginy, misandry, the very patriarchy that subverts men to be stupid soldiers and labourers, sacrificing emotional intelligence and their individuality to become stereotypical puppets of the powers that be.

MGTOW energy Indeed. Just the kind of weakness a grifter like Tate loves to exploit.

Dumbasses.

Most of Gen Z is children.

95 to 2010, so yeah - mostly.

Chalk it up to exploitation of boys to become exploitable males.

I was born in 95, I'm 28 not a child by any stretch of the imagination..... although if I am considered a child can I quit this whole 40 hours of work every week to barely get by shit?
