Laut einer neuen Umfrage haben nur ein Drittel der jungen Frauen eine positive Einstellung zu Männern

I mean both genders just hate on eachother online constantly, it’s only until you actually grow up and realise the other side isn’t as scary as online tells you

I read the poll earlier – we are cooked

The media are all over young men being radicalised but its about 7% of them who hate women. On the female side its 21% who hate men – up to 27% in the under 25 group. That is a terrifying level of radicalisation that bodes very poorly for the future.

Meanwhile the media will carry on with their narrative that is furthering that radicalisation. We will have endless articles and dramas about that 7% of young men and nobody will even glance at the far larger proportion of young women who hate half the people in our society.

The political divide growing between young men and women is primarily that young women are increasingly radical and radicalised.

I feel like the internet is just filled with gender wars crap by the algorithms. I knew a radfem woman who’s tiktok feed would just feed her never ending man hate videos about how awful men were, and videos from women talking about their abusive boyfriends, women talking about how men aren’t worth anything. I imagine they’re feeding the other way around to a lot of men as well.

While I think it’s good to expose bad behaviour in men and for abused women to get justice, these platforms are just an endless hosepipe of misery and negativity its no surprise people are coming away feeling like this.

The New Statesman did a very interesting podcast/video about this poll: https://youtu.be/dQRKL4BxrEM

Some key talking points from that video:

-The media obsess about the ‚manosphere‘ and young men hating women, but this data shows that young women hate men way more than vice versa

-young white women are significantly more likely to say that the UK is racist than young non white women

-young women view issues like Israel-Palestine as incredibly important and deal breakers in relationships, but also view men who actively campaign on such topics as performative. Apparently men don’t cry enough to actually care about the things they say they care about.

-Many young women identify as communist or socialist and are incredibly unfavourable to capitalism, young men lean left but young women are off the charts compared to any other demographic including the generation of women only ~5 years older.

It’s because it’s still seen as acceptable to „hate men“ when men who „hate women“ are correctly villanised.

I’m honestly surprised it’s that low.  I’m over 40 now, and I didn’t have a positive view of men as a young woman.  Incidents I experienced between my early teens and early 20s included multiple incidences of catcalls (including when I was walking to school in my school uniform), verbal harassment, being groped (breasts, between my legs), having my backside slapped, having bits of my hair stolen, being followed home, being asked „how much?“, being called fat or ugly (no provocation – first thing they said to me), forced kissing, and probably a bunch of other stuff I’ve forgotten, all from different men, different ethnicies, ages, etc.  To be quite frank, men in general made me incredibly nervous for a long time and I found it very hard to trust.  It’s not a new problem, and it’s not specific to the youngest generation – a significant minority of men have always preyed on young women.

It’s stupid to blanket hate/prejudice people based on traits they have no control over.

A friend group I was in years ago had a couple of women who would rail very hard against men, the one time I bothered to challenge the rant I was told „Not you, you’re one of the good ones“.

If you hold a prejudice against someone based on their age, sex, race, sexuality or religion you’re probably a bit dim.
