Gen Z Men's Troubling Views on Women

0:00In Adelaide, it's March 10th. Here's what is happening. A recent global survey by Ipsos and King's College London highlights troubling views among generation Z men toward women. 31% believe a woman should always obey her husband. 21% say she should never initiate sex and 33%. Think women should let husbands make final decisions on big issues. While the survey averages responses from diverse countries, it reveals contradictions. Younger men often identify as feminists and admire successful women, yet some hold these traditional ideas at the same time. Other studies show young men wanting fatherhood more than young women do, pointing to a mixed picture on gender roles. Economic struggles hit young people hard, especially in places like the United Kingdom. Home prices there are now 7.7 times the average wage, up from 3.5 in 1997. Rising unemployment and worthless degrees make status feel like a limited prize, turning frustration toward women.

In the UK, nearly half of men say gender equality has gone far enough, matching a rise seen in other Western nations since 2019. Experts say attitudes won't change without better jobs, wages, and living standards. A cultural push is key too, urging young men to drop rigid masculinity and see inequality not women as the real barrier to a good life. The Daily News Now is powered by our sponsor.
