"Looking at the data, it seems that left-leaning Gen Z women prioritize financial, career, and emotional stability over the more traditional success markers like 'being married" and "having children" than the Trump-voting men were in favor of. Their prioritization of having children is in alignment with the growing popularity of the pro-natalist movement-an obsession with boosting birth rates-on the right. Just look at Elon Musk, one of the more famous pro-natalists, who's inarguably emotionally unstable and a father to 14 children."
"It's also impossible to comb through the poll results and not think about the oft-cited "male loneliness epidemic" ravaging the young, conservative, on-their-phone-too-much, male demographic. Gen Z Trump-voting men rated "Using your talents and resources to help others" at #10, while Harris-voting women had that at #4. (Though, when politics were taken out of the data, women and men rated that issue #5 and #4, respectively.)"
Left-leaning Gen Z women rank financial, career, and emotional stability above traditional markers like marriage and having children. Trump-voting Gen Z men rank having children highly while placing emotional stability and using talents to help others lower. The commentary links the rightward pro-natalist movement with high prioritization of childbearing and cites Elon Musk as a prominent pro-natalist with 14 children. Poll data suggest conservative young men are less invested in interpersonal relationship skills tied to reduced loneliness. The poll also shows young women report higher chronic anxiety, with 33% feeling anxious all the time versus 19% of young men.
