Fifth of men aged 16-29 look favourably on social media influencer Andrew Tate

Boys and men from generation Z are more likely than older baby boomers to believe that feminism has done more harm than good, according to research that shows a “real risk of fractious division among this coming generation”.

…

On feminism, 16% of gen Z males felt it had done more harm than good. Among over-60s the figure was 13%.

The figures emerged from Ipsos polling for King’s College London’s Policy Institute and the Global Institute for Women’s Leadership. The research also found that 37% of men aged 16 to 29 consider “toxic masculinity” an unhelpful phrase, roughly double the number of young women who don’t like it.

“This is a new and unusual generational pattern,” said Prof Bobby Duffy, director of the Policy Institute. “Normally, it tends to be the case that younger generations are consistently more comfortable with emerging social norms, as they grew up with these as a natural part of their lives.”

    Not ‘negative articles’, he said 'most articles

    Yes, the articles were negative in their views.

    Again not an, most. That is dishonest and disingenuous. Either ‘you’re’ looking specifically for feminist articles negative towards men, or ‘you’re’ being dishonest.

    At this point you’re (2nd person, singular) either stupid or spectacularly dishonest. You keep referencing most, so apparently he needed to cite, with links, 50.1% of all articles by feminists or you’d bring your same criticism. Guess what, “most” could be true and he could only cite a single article. They are not mutually exclusive. (I’ve never accepted or rejected the most claim). Maybe the majority actually are negative, maybe he’s only read three articles by feminists and at least two were negative, maybe he only reads negative articles, and yet you still attack most. Rather dishonest.

    Caitlin Moran even wrote a damn novel on issues and challenges facing straight, white, able-bodied men that need to be solved.

    Umm…and? One person wrote a novel? A novel isn’t an article and one isn’t most! Obviously OP is right because you didn’t even give links to most articles. See how easy it is to be a dishonest interlocutor and not meet people where they’re at?

    If feminist PR sucks, you’re reading right-wing articles/twitter posts/apparently reddit posts according to another post of theirs.

    That actually doesn’t follow at all. Feminist PR could suck and none of those things be true. Mainstream media, like “most” media, likes to present items that will drive clicks and viewership. People with preposterous views have an easier time getting traction because their comments will drive interaction. So the majority of feminists could be levelheaded and pragmatic, but the minority with outlandish takes on issues will likely get more press attention.

      We’re on day two of not a single link from him or you. I’m done with this, if you want to keep screaming to the winds that ‘most feminist articles are…’ then prove it.
