Why the political worldviews of young men and women are increasingly diverging | DW Analysis

To me as I listened to the video it became clear that the real issue is how a lot of this is driven on the male side from the era where men look at it as their entitlement to the best looking most attractive women they are attracted to, but can not have.  So they feel women are the real enemy, rather than the system that is denying each gender of equality.  Why do incels feel entitled to a female, a woman that is to please them as they demand / wish?  Because for far too much of history that was how men were taught to look at women, taught that females were to be used, subjected to their whim, to keep them happy but not really a person like they are.  They don’t see women as full humans like them.   The day that men and women see each other as equal will be the day all this conflict dies.  Hugs.  Scottie

Young men are more likely than women to drop out of college, commit suicide, and support far-right parties. But while misogynistic influencers like Andrew Tate are correctly blamed for fueling the incel manosphere’s backlash against feminism, there is a lot more to this story than incels, culture wars and wokeness. From stagnant economies and unaffordable housing to fears of cultural obsolescence, young men are grappling with a myriad of challenges that seldom enter the public discourse. So what is really behind the growing political rift between Gen Z Boys and Girls?

In the video we talk to Richard Reeves, Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institution and author of the book “Of Boys and Men” where he explores all the ways in which the modern male is struggling. Alice Evans, visiting scholar at Stanford University, who is travelling around the world to study this divide and makes the point that lagging economies, corporate algorhythms, and patriarchal mentality can explain this backlash. And Neil Shyminsky, Professor at Cambrian College and famous on TikTok as @professorneil, who sees in Influencers like Andrew Tate as a main threat.
