"A team from the pollsters Ipsos and King's College London found that nearly a third (31%) of gen Z men believe that a woman should always obey her husband, a fifth (21%) believe that she should never initiate sex, and 33% believe that women should let their husbands have the final word on important decisions."
"There's a limit to how much can be drawn from a worldwide survey that draws averages from vastly different cultures and economies. We cannot ask respondents what they meant by their answers, nor how they reconcile apparently contradictory views: younger men are more likely than older generations to call themselves feminists and to find successful women attractive, yet some also say women should be subordinate."
"Young men talk about feeling that they live in a world of increased competition, while searching for the right role models. In a society that treats social position as a measure of personal worth, it is hardly surprising that many men compete for status. Yet inequality means that the rich are zooming away."
A survey by Ipsos and King's College London found troubling gender attitudes among young men: 31% believe women should obey husbands, 21% think women shouldn't initiate sex, and 33% believe women should defer to husbands on major decisions. However, global surveys averaging vastly different cultures present limitations. Paradoxically, younger men more frequently identify as feminists and find successful women attractive, yet some simultaneously endorse female subordination. Other research reveals complexity: young American men express stronger parental desires than women, and adolescents seek vulnerable father representations. Young men report feeling increased competition and status anxiety. Economic inequality exacerbates these pressures, with wealth concentration and housing costs creating zero-sum competition dynamics.
