Republican?

Most of those people tend to believe such things because of their religion.... Which they think is good, wise or both.

Even with those numbers, it's still frustrating.

You can see in the data that the country dominates attitude. Using only the global averages against the generational buckets isn't very useful. I want to see the generational breakdown BY COUNTRY.

"People without a proper degree in statistics should not be allowed to get anywhere near numbers" is my new favorite phrase. Thank you for the QC!

It’s a country full of manosphere fans. Also religion.

Informal, but in brazil we made a poll among our class mates and 10 in 40 students thought "women should be submissive tp their husbands" and "disagreed with homosexuality".

And its precisely the most religious people in the classroom... The new wave of for profit protestant churches in brazil and america is crazy.

I'm a man and I also choose the bear. I frequently go backpacking and would absolutely prefer to come across a bear in the woods rather than a random man.

Does despising my gender make me realistic or does it make me a misandrist? Maybe it's both. Maybe being a misandrist and being a realist are the same fucking thing.

Bears are less unpredictable. Also the woods are a context you expect to find a bear in so it's not out of the norm. All that combined with years and years of true crime stuff makes the answer to that question pretty predictable, regardless of the gender.

I have not actually read the primary source for this though, only encountered it on social media so maybe they asked men the same question and they chose another person? I should probably look it up.

“Babe. Babe. You vowed. You vowed, ok? You HAVE to watch the MarioKart speedrun with me.”

That's almost a litmus test for the Millennial/Gen Z border (for the US at least). Usually remembering 9/11 means you're more on the Millennial side. Though generations are fuzzy and ill-defined.

If she was dating millennial men when millennials were in their 20s she'd probably complain about PUA techniques being used against her.

It's pretty simple.

When life has no clearly defined gender roles, people will seek them out, and men and women both, are reverting back to 1950s expecations where gender roles were clearly defined.

I'm a single guy in my early 40s. The past 5 years on the dating market, most women I meet now want 1950s gender roles. These are often educated, liberal, successful women. But they have this fantasy that they will only be happy if they find a man who pays all the bills and bosses them around, and all think Don Draper is a 'real man'. The idea of a partnership where you say split costs and responsibilities, is totally rejected as by them and they see it as surefire path to misery (because they are already paying their own bills and they are miserable doing so). They see their role in a relationship as to quit their career and be a homemaker/mother, and my job is to work 60-80 hours a week to earn a massive salary and pay for everything. It's fantasy-escapism and they'd rather 'hold out' for this fantasy to escape their life... than try to actually be in a partnership where their daily responsibilities don't go away...

And when they find out that as a man, I enjoy cooking, cleaning, keeping my house etc, they get really pissed off because they see me as 'not needing a woman in my life'. No... shit. I don't 'need' a woman. I want a partner to split chores and bills with and raise kids together with. I have no interest in working 80 hours a week to 'provide' and never seeing my wife/kids.

I think it's weird too. Every couple I know has a partnership model, but the single women on the dating market who want that... are very rare. But 10 years ago, it was quite common and I met women who were looking for this, but the world has changed and people now are adopting these extremist beliefs as a coping mechanism for their unhappiness with their lives. The irony being I bet if these people got their 1950s relationships... they find out that makes them miserable too.

It’s not quite as bad as that: women are turning left more than men are turning right. A few young men are getting fully into fascism/neoreactionary ideology, though many more are just bumbling around muttering “I don’t agree with everything Joe Rogan says but he is funny”. Meanwhile, young women are in the woods looking for a nice bear.

This book came out decades ago and pretty much predicted everything.

"Future Shock" by Alvin Toffler. His premise was that the coming Digital Age would divide the world into the people who were going to embrace the changes and the people who couldn't/wouldn't give up on the Industrial Age.

Feminist is such a loaded term too, after decades of vilification by right wing media. My mother would happily say “oh yes, of course I support equal rights for women, but I don’t think I’d call myself a feminist.” (Now, whether what she believes is equal rights is actually equal rights is a different question.)
