Are Young Men Becoming More Sexist?

GenX old man here, I think that society has failed to give young men role models anymore. The entertainment industry has re-gendered so many male characters and shifted it's focus to women and young girls with positive messaging that it has effectively ignored young men. Commercial messaging uses men as the sounding board to sell products to women, often casting them as foolish or inept for the purpose of marketing goods and services. Our media landscape has changed significantly from when I was a kid, our politics have become ugly and keyed toward restricting women's rights. We have some conflicting messaging today where media is bolstering womens rights, politics are restricting them, and the messaging for young men...is largely absent or it comes from conservatives and/or misogynists that promote some traditional version of masculinity that doesn't align with our present goals of an equal society for both men and women.

This entire podcast is just two liberal upper class women trying to explain away the social problems that they caused by saying that all young men are just losers. 4 young men end themselves for every young woman that does. Life is terrible for young people right now, but I think you can say that it’s at least 3-4 times harder for men, because 3-4 times more of them end themselves. Brothers you are not alone, they just aren’t listening to us. Stay strong kings.

My main question is-does this interviewer ever shut up? It’s not even just her, it seems like a majority of interviewers now needn’t bother having a guest on because they do all the talking themselves. They have to gasp for air after “asking a question” by the time they get all their insertions and addendums etc into the “question”. It’s very annoying-if you’re just going to interview yourself, stop announcing a guest, it’s false advertising. If you are going to have a guest, for dog’s sake shut up and let them say something. I presume you didn’t invite them on because you thought they’d be boring or uninformed.

This guest's voice is so odd.

You still try to boil everything down to right vs left and radical vs non radical instead of just shutting up and saying the who, what, when, where, why and how. Given the current state of affairs, I don't think you polisci analysts are good for much of anything anymore. Unsubscribed.

Are young women becoming misandrists?

They totally are

I think you need to stop putting men into categories, it's weird

BIG difference between not becoming a victim of women standing up to their toxicity and plain out hating them

Mainstream YouTube comments have become more misogynist. Mainstream Reddit has become less misogynist. COVID isolation took a heavy toll on young men’s mental health. We need more focus on men’s mental health and support for fathers (etc) who are raising boys to help their sons channel their emotions healthily. There are some amazing fathers and male role models out there, but they’re not famous

Can you imagine if The Atlantic had two men on a podcast discussing whether or not young women are becoming more sexist?

👨‍🚀 Alright, I think I'm ready for the comments...

How can these two not see this conversation is rooted in hate? I hope they find love.

Has journalism lost all its merit in desperate attempt to remain relevant?

Lady, there are no favelas in Oaxaca...

Yes we are.
