    Maybe edginess? I feel like the majority of the male youth has to rebell against what their parents did and so it flip flops back and forth.

      That and the crisis of masculinity in a machismo culture which is being actively used against them by idiots everywhere.

        There’s nothing more manly than being respectful towards women. Just ask women.

        Yea - I think folks like Jordan Peterson (apologies from Canada) and Tate managed to own a lot of headspace in Gen Z when they were teens and in college and we’re only just seeing the fallout of those deeply toxic influences.

      I do not think it’s exclusive to males. Maybe it’s more common in men, but I have definitely seen women do it as well.
