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

Here is the article from Kings College with a link to the full results:

kcl.ac.uk/…/almost-a-third-of-gen-z-men-agree-a-w…

I do believe that some countries are skewing the results, but the ratios across the board are worrying.

Though this could be due to the phrasing of questions. “Do you define yourself as a feminist?” Is a question that by its very nature is going to skew towards a negative result. I personally hold very strong feminist values and promote them openly, but would still struggle to agree that I ‘define’ myself as feminist.

Feminist is such a loaded term too, after decades of vilification by right wing media. My mother would happily say “oh yes, of course I support equal rights for women, but I don’t think I’d call myself a feminist.” (Now, whether what she believes is equal rights is actually equal rights is a different question.)

  if you read feminist literature, a lot of it vilifies itself and is little more than hating on men and trying to control women by dictating to them how to behave to be a ‘good feminist’.
  
  there are also many feminist movements that just hate men, or hate trans women, or hate pregnancy, etc.

    Could you specify one feminist text that you’d say is a good example of this hating on men and controlling women? This description doesn’t match what I’ve read but I’m interested to see if there’s a side of feminist thinking I’m not familiar with.

feminism also isn’t one thing anymore.

feminist in the 70s, and first wave stuff, was clearly defined. feminism in 2020s could be really anything. They are feminists who think 1950s gender roles are ‘liberation’. And lots of conservative women think they are feminists now when they argue that a woman’s role is to be a homemaker and mother and having a career is wrong/bad.
