One thing that may deform statistics is the interpretation of feminism.

Personally i prefer equality and I recognize that the majority of people mean equality when talking about feminism.

In almost all ideological groups theres a section of extremist that listen to the same name. Extremist often yell the loudest and say stupid, hatefull memeable stuff. The post of extremist make ripe content for opposers of the general movement to show how stupid/bad an entire group is.

You can be an otherwise very rational person if the only example of feminism you know is jk rowling then it influenced the decision.

On why its different between generation. In general i observe gen-x and boomers care alot about official definition and proper terminology which leads to narrower thinking but also less Confusion on how to perceive in unity.

Millenials and gen z tend to play More creative with language which can allow much more nuanced communication and fresh perspectives but causes different word meanings within different social groups. Misunderstanding outside of it.

Older people have had more history with the term, seeing people burn their bras in the 70s for example. My uncle, around 60, said he loved feminism because it was great when women starting not wearing bras and dressing in more revealing things haha.

I can't imagine being born after Youtube and Facebook were created. Propaganda through media is incessant and young people have been subjected to the most potent forms for their entire lives.

The absolute cesspool of r/feminism is really damaging to women's rights.

LOL people have vomited precisely what you just said for 100 years on this subject. Of course, 100 years ago, they were using the police to torture women who wanted to vote, so maybe there is progress.

The double edged sword with how custody is awarded is that if men are the primary breadwinner of the household, and the mother is the primary caregiver, a judge will say "okay, you spend a lot of time away from the family as it is earning money to support them, then you won't mind if we mandate that you aren't legally allowed to see your kids for 75% of the month."

Childless men don't have a stake in child custody, visitation, child support or spousal support so that can't be it.

I used to be sympathetic to these types of arguments until I actually gained relevant experience with the formula that gets used to calculate family support.

I have to assume you're talking about Andrew Tate. Pretty much everyone who ever pushed cryptocurrency as part of their social media sponsorships I assume is or was on the Russian take. We experienced the same exact type of messaging in 2014-2015 about how unfair life is for men when women are by default responsible for raising and providing for kids if Dad skips town or otherwise leaves the picture.

I can’t say I’m surprised that people like Andrew Tate, Steven Crowder, Jordan Peterson and Ben Shapiro have gained quite the social media following.

I can. Their content sucks. It's whiny and boring and utterly tasteless. Tate's an absolute skeez. Crowder has zero swag. Peterson is an incoherent puddle. And Ben Shapiro... well... just come on, wtf is this?

And before you dispute me on this notion, can you offer any other explanation for why the biggest role model for a lot of teenage boys is some bloomy rind dick cheese who looks like a spitting image of the Stonks meme guy?

Because that's half of what YouTube / Twitch / Netflix / et al serves up anymore. These people are the dregs of modern media, but they and their promoters are everywhere. Its the same way that AM radio is the endless cesspool of senile racists whining about scary foreigners and Daytime TV is washed up fashion models pretending to have the secret to fame, fortune, and eternal youth. The lowest common denominator of mass media is overflowing with gross, juvenile bullshit.

And when you simply cannot escape the morass of filth, that's going to affect you one way or another.

Men are disproportionately affected by a lot of the socioeconomic issues

Women are more poor than men. So, what do you mean by this?

men are the ones who are negatively impacted if they cannot provide.

What does that even mean?

judicial decisions on child custody and alimony are heavily favoured towards women

Men are more likely than women to get custody when they ask for it. Men pay more alimony on average because they are more likely to have and earn more money.

Single mothers (not single fathers) are one of the poorest groups worldwide. That goes for the USA as well.

It seems like you really bought into the angry YouTubers.

Because their content is controversial, thus driving engagement, thus being favored by the algorithms of many social media platforms. I still get recommended some of their garbage on YouTube, despite never having watched anything remotely similar to it.

Younger people tend to be easier to influence, and they often lack the experience to smell bullshit. And the more people hear something, the more likely they are to believe it.

To be honest I don't think parents is a good source of their children's beliefs usually.

I very specifically first thought that we should have a look at the methodology to see what is going on here.

We're talking 16% vs 13%. Still a small minority. Based on what groups of people these are concentrated in, and what group you run in, it's completely plausible you don't know any of them well enough to understand this is how they feel.

It never ceases to amaze me that in almost every comment section there is a highly upvoted comment by someone who clearly didn't read the article. Or maybe they read the article and are I explicably talking about something else completely.

Even reading just the headline, I don't get how one would talk about not needing feminism anymore. It's about them thinking it has done more harm than good and/or it's now harder to be a man.
