UK: Only a third of young women hold positive view of men, new poll finds

'Just 35 per cent of British women under the age of 25 hold a positive view of men, according to a new poll.

The findings show only 11 per cent of young women hold a very positive view, while women under 30 are three times as likely to hold a negative view of men compared to the over-30s.

According to the poll carried out by Merlin Strategy for the New Statesman, young women “don’t care for” young men, believing the feelings are mutual, and citing an over-focus on sexual motivation and a lack of care about political issues, with women aged between 18 and 30 found to be the most progressive demographic in the UK by far.

When asked how she felt about the boys she knew, a girl called Ruby told the New Statesman: “I don’t care for them. They’re not bad people, but they refuse to call out their friends who make other girls uncomfortable. They’ll laugh at jokes that are sexist, racist, homophobic; they don’t care about political issues… I don’t think they like women a lot... I feel like a lot of it is quite sexually motivated with men.” She said men would only discuss subjects such as toxic misogyny if they fancied her.'
