The sense I got was that it’s about perception, not necessarily absolute figures. And I’m sure the sting just compounds with everything else they’re struggling with.

I could only get through the first third. But the researcher was reporting that young men in culturally liberal and developed nations are more sexist than women their age, while older generations everywhere are not.

She speculates this is because the young men haven’t gained the status indicators of financial stability, housing, and an attractive wife (sic) that they see the older men had gained back when houses were plenty and women were forced to be with men for financial and cultural reasons. So the perceived reduced status, financial strain of modern times, and women’s rejections generates resentment and drives them online (where only the more extreme voices are generating content) and reinforces that resentment.

I think the women have valid complaints, plus there’s just the general difficulty of finding a good partner. But both of those together mean a greater rate of rejection (about one third of young men are unpartnered) than the men see compared to the older generation.

TL;DR: like the dams before, highway construction is expensive and the system has reached saturation, so the momentum might yet be slowed by another coalition of environmentalists and fiscal conservatives.

You can easily filter by city size. Here’s the top three large cities in the US: Minneapolis, Seattle, San Francisco.

Sounds great. Retail only though, which means less choice but probably higher quality.

Good video. I watched a few others too and she did end up saying it in one of those (plus a little graphic) though I forget which.
