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.”

        I think equal rights it’s not the problem about it, the problem it’s the manly role feminism propose. Equal rights /not the same/ manly role. I believe the agenda it’s pushing a manly role instead of equal rights to prevent world over population what at the same time it’s not all bad tbh.

          The nuclear family structure is the propaganda pushed as beneficial for social progress without evidence. Encapsulating women in a predominantly reproductive role is just good for reproduction and to think it’s beneficial for society is only true if you think that’s a good goal alignment.

          Do you think overpopulation is a good idea?
