Gen Z men twice as likely as baby boomers to believe wives should obey husbands
"A third (33%) of gen Z men also said a husband should have the final word on important decisions, according to the 29-country survey which included Great Britain, the US, Brazil, Australia and India. It found that gen Z men (born 1997-2012) were twice as likely as baby boomer men (born 1946-1964) to have traditional views on decision-making within a marriage, with just 13% of men in the older cohort agreeing that a wife should always obey her husband."
"Almost a quarter (24%) of gen Z men think women should not appear too independent or self-sufficient, compared with 12% of baby boomer men. Attitudes toward sexual norms also differed sharply across generations, with 21% of gen Z men thinking a real woman should never initiate sex, compared with only 7% of baby boomer men."
"People of both genders in Indonesia (66%) and Malaysia (60%) were most likely to agree with the statement, compared with 23% in the US and 13% in Great Britain. The annual research was conducted by Ipsos and the Global Institute for Women's Leadership at King's College London."
"More than half (59%) of gen Z men said men were expected to do too much to support equality, compared with 45% of baby boomer men. For women, the proportions were 41% and 30% respectively."
A global survey of 23,000 people across 29 countries reveals that Generation Z men hold significantly more traditional views on gender roles than baby boomers. Approximately 33% of Gen Z men believe wives should obey husbands and husbands should have final say on important decisions, compared to just 13% of baby boomer men. Gen Z men are also twice as likely to think women should not appear too independent, with 24% holding this view versus 12% of older men. Additionally, 21% of Gen Z men believe women should never initiate sex, compared to 7% of baby boomers. Geographic variations are substantial, with Indonesia and Malaysia showing the highest agreement with traditional views at 66% and 60% respectively, while Great Britain shows 13% agreement. Notably, Gen Z men simultaneously believe successful career women are more attractive, revealing contradictory attitudes toward female independence and achievement.
