Chronicling the ongoing intersectional struggle to liberate women — inclusively defined as the legacy kind and the transgenders — from The Patriarchy™, one microaggression at a time.
Zoomer male gender attitudes vex Boomer feminist
The state of gender relations she finds exasperating, the aged liberal media pundit called Joan Smith reports in a lengthy tirade.
Because she writes for the Guardian, Ms. Smith is contractually obligated to blame Andrew Tate for the sorry state of affairs — who, in actuality, is a symptom rather than a cause of the so-called “masculinity crisis.”
Via the Guardian (emphasis added):
It is usually assumed that young people are more liberal than older generations. Not according to startling new research carried out in 29 countries, including the UK, that suggests that almost a third of gen Z men believe that a wife should always obey her husband. A similar number say a husband should have the final say on important decisions.
Although those stats are for a 29-country average, it seems to reflect worries about a masculinity crisis among young men in the UK. What century are we living in?...
What the survey also reveals, thankfully, is a gap between gen Z men and women. Fewer than a fifth (18%) of the gen Z women surveyed agree that women should obey their husbands, suggesting a substantial mismatch between the sexes in this age group. But what’s also striking is the gap between different generations. My age group, the baby boomers born between 1946 and 1964, has more liberal views on everything, from who should initiate sex to whether it’s OK for women to appear independent…
An alarming retreat into traditional masculinity is suggested by the number of gen Z men (43%) in the survey who agree that “young men should try to be physically tough, even if they’re not naturally big”. If they feel pressure to conform to rigid gender stereotypes, they’re quite likely to have similar expectations of women. Such attitudes are encouraged by the fact that a great deal of social interaction is now online, where gen Z men are a target group for misogynists such as Andrew Tate…
Misogyny is the driver behind these crimes and its ubiquity hasn’t happened in a vacuum. Women and girls are an easy target for young men who are angry and want someone to blame for their low self-esteem. Harsh economic conditions may be an explanation, but they’re certainly not an excuse. Reactionary attitudes are shared by a minority of gen Z men, for the moment, but they show a worrying sense of direction. Always calling them out, and giving young women the confidence to challenge damaging stereotypes, is more important than ever.
Of course, as indicated in the last paragraph there, this lady’s solution is to shame boys more — as if they haven’t been shamed enough for the last several decades, as if the entirety of the feminist movement hasn’t devolved into demonizing men and blaming them for literally every social ill possible.

It turns out that teaching boys they are inherently evil, framing normal behavior as abhorrent, and cooking up terms in women’s and gender studies departments at universities to ascribe to them, such as “toxic masculinity,” actually engenders more hostility, not less.

A fun fact:
The term “slave” is actually derived from “Slav,” due to the Muslims’ well-documented penchant for enslaving Slavs dating back to the ninth century.
All of which is to say: it seems the Arab thirst for hot blonde women from Eastern Europe has gone unquenched since the Middle Ages.
