"Fewer American boys believe in gender equality as compared to 1990. The two questions they asked a group of eighth and tenth graders were: Should a woman have the same job opportunities as a man? Which fell off a cliff! And should men and women be paid the same money if they do the same work? Also fell off a cliff."
"The research was published by David Waldron on Substack, based upon data from the long-running Monitoring the Future survey. Unsurprisingly, the decrease in feminist views occurred mostly among boys who say religion is important in their life. "So if you have a son who is going to church, it may be worth double-checking to make sure that what they're teaching is actually in line with the teachings of Jesus Christ," Livi said."
Data from the Monitoring the Future survey indicate declining support for gender equality among American eighth- and tenth-grade boys compared with 1990. Responses to questions about whether women should have the same job opportunities as men and whether men and women should be paid equally for the same work fell sharply. The decline is concentrated among boys who report that religion is important in their lives. Simultaneous trends show rising religiosity and increased Republican voting among Gen Z men. The pattern raises concerns about the influence of right-wing and manosphere content on youth and parental oversight of religious messaging.
