"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 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."
"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. The views of gen Z women and baby boomer women are more closely aligned, with the vast majority of both groups rejecting the bizarre notion that women should not seem too self-sufficient."
Research across 29 countries reveals that approximately one-third of Gen Z men hold traditional patriarchal views, believing wives should obey husbands and that husbands should have final say on important decisions. This contradicts the common assumption that younger generations are more progressive than their predecessors. A significant gender gap exists within Gen Z, with only 18% of Gen Z women agreeing wives should obey husbands. Interestingly, baby boomer women and Gen Z women share more aligned views on gender equality than Gen Z men and women do. Women across generations demonstrate stronger commitment to gender equality than men, reflecting centuries of discrimination and systemic barriers to female autonomy and opportunity.
