Dads, talk to your sons!

Gen Z males twice as likely as baby boomers to believe wives should obey husbands

Global survey shows young men and boys hold more traditional views about gender roles than older generations

The Guardian
@stefan I remember I talked to a guy younger that me work about things like Freedom and why they are important. And he was like: But I don't want my wife to do X

@blenderdumbass Really sad to see society regressing in so many areas.

We have to get back on track.

@stefan I believe I know why this is happening. I think it is freudian. We bash them down with r-word such that they don't believe in existence of consent. And when you are desperate, you are looking for desperate measures. If wife must obey it removes the problem.
@stefan this is what happens when people hand their kids a phone and let incels parent for them. crazy how I was always warned to be careful online and not to talk to strangers and now parents just let their kids hang out with neonazis all day

@stefan

It seems that the dads had talked to their sons. ;->

> young men hold more traditional views about gender roles than older generations

Shouldn't be going backwards.

@stefan

I read it, and I’m in doubt. However the other explanation would be that the parents of Gen Z – male and female – do not care for their kids in general. Pick your poison.

@_RyekDarkener_ I wouldn't say that they don't care, but maybe they're just not on top of what their kids are doing online. YouTube, for example, is full of right-wing crap.

@stefan

Yes. And most parents do not want to know that. Because it is a shitty lot of work to get this straight. And is seems also a shitty lot of work to vote for a politic which actively can change this.

@stefan And Gen Z women twice as likely then boomer women to tell these guys to go fuck themselves.
@stefan this…makes me very sad.

@ambergrey Yeah, disappointing to read.

But also motivating to more proactively call this stuff out, and continue to lead by example.

We can still turn things around!

@stefan you are so on. We got this! 🙌😁
