Young men, masculinity and misogyny

Article here. Excerpt:

'Now a major new YouGov study examines the beliefs of young men through a tour of issues ranging from gender equality, misogyny, and masculinity.

The results paint a complex picture, which does not necessarily support the national narrative that there is misogyny problem that is uniquely confined to young men.

While potentially misogynist views are certainly held by a minority of young men and boys, in many cases they are not held at a rate significantly higher than among their elders.

Indeed, the results also show that young men are often more likely to hold more progressive gender attitudes than their older male peers.

The study does, however, find that conceptions of masculinity do differ between Gen Z men and their elders, with traits often associated with toxic masculinity seen more favourably by young men.'
