Best of: Are Young Men Really Becoming More Sexist?

Are young men becoming radicalized? Could they be further to the right than even their fathers and grandfathers? These questions have yet to be answered definitively, but in some countries, electoral results and polls suggest that a meaningful group of young men may be finding a home in radical spaces. In this encore episode, host Jerusalem Demsas speaks to Dr. Alice Evans, a researcher at King’s College London, who has been traveling the world, trying to uncover the reason some societies are more equal than others. Her insights help explain why some young men may be turning against the tide of egalitarianism.

Divorce of people with children REQUIRING the divorced to stay attached BECAUSE of their children and the legal cost created by that is a HUGE reason young people don't want children.

Tip for my fellow men: stop putting so much importance on females and your lives will drastically improve. Focus on yourselves instead of chasing a romantic relationship.

Yes. They are doing it intentionally. A significant amount of the sexism from the past 30 years came from the ingorance of men, many of whom genuinely wanted to do better. Today's brand of misogyny is intentional.

Overall I think this is a pretty balanced conversation. Many commenters haven’t even listened to the dialog.

Are they really dismissing that they have more rights than men at 4:15? I don’t have a right to see my unborn child, she has the right to end it. I am forced to put my body on the line to vote, by signing up for the draft. Women graduate at rates 1.3:1 of men from college, have specific scholarships just for women, etc. Must I continue? What rights do men have that women do not?

Odd: it's taken totally for granted that "voting Democrat" and "not being a misogynist" are synonymous.

Any truth to the rumor that the wage gap doesn't exist among young people?

To what extent are "diversity/inclusion" hiring decisions a real thing? Are they not sexist? Would you support removing the race/gender question on applications?

[chrisrus]

The problem with this video the assumption only men can be sexist.

[GTSCoupe]

Such a biased and anecdotal based interview. Out a balanced opinion because your interviewer and interviewee are only focused on their own interests as women

[reecediaz]

I am 25 male. I can confirm I’m definitely sexist now. The only women I like are my wife and my mom.

[chrisrus]

Imagine talking about partnerless women as you do about their counterparts in this video.

How am I not seeing ads on this? I love that :)

There is a specific group of men who genuinely hate the loss of control over women, but on the whole I think gender relations have never been better. Many men have fought alongside women in our fight for gender equality. They are not a monolith just as we are not, as we see in the USA with the divide in voting preference between white women and black women.

Listening to modern feminists is just so utterly tiresome and boring.

There wayyy to much focus on education on here, thats becoming less and less important and a lower ROI since so many people are getting degrees there are only so many positions available and college coats and the opportunity cost to go are huge! The avg person that goes to college will be at 22 years old about $400k behind some one who learned a trade and was making $50k a year and not going into debt $50k a year. The avg journalist makes far less money than the average truck driver in fact the average truck driver makes more money than the average CPA lol. And this is not accounting for actual consumption not just W-2 income which most of these studies are based on because W-2 income is the highest taxed or is a lot of people who go into the trades and do not go to college on their own business and they purposely keep their income very low but they still own alot of assets. I know many people who are farmers run excavation companies construction companies who are worth more than 5 million dollars and I've never had a W-2 income over $40, 000. Whereas if you're a journalist in New York City making $100, 000 a year you couldn't even dream of buying a house or the guy with the excavation company probably owned six houses and 100 acres five or six trucks whole bunch of equipment etc. in fact anyone who knows anything about tax efficient wealth building knows that you want to keep w2 income as low as possible and get income from capital gains or use your company's assets for your own use pre tax.

A similar curiosity is the Trad Wife movement.

[kahlilbt]

We’re not sexist: we’re just tired of women telling us how they want to be treated and holding us accountable. Quiet down, women, and be who WE decide you are!

/sarcasm

[Ryanrobi]

Once again people are confusing causation with correlation people with college degrees do not make more money because they have a college degree If you control for IQ conscientiousness and ambition people without college degrees make at least as much money in almost all of the very richest people have no college degrees. This is lazy thinking and unscientific.

I was hoping for a Christmas-themed topic. SIGH

Sometimes I think that it would be more realistic to develop survival strategies than to try to convince the tiger to become a vegan. We barely have a definition for one problem, let alone a solution, and new problems have rolled in. I mean, isn't it always the same question no matter your point of view: Why are people being so stupid? It seems to be the nature of the beast. It's just that I feel we're coming at it wrong. Maybe "Why?" is the wrong question.

Perhaps AI is the answer. Apologies for the half-baked notions. Thanks for the stimulating podcast.
