How Corporate Leaders Can Counter Young Men’s Rising Anti-Feminism

Article here. Excerpt:

'Young men are becoming increasingly anti-feminist, according to new research. In the U.S., 45% of men ages 18-29 say they face discrimination, according to a Brookings Institute poll. The trend is similar in Europe and the UK, where young men express growing resistance to gender diversity initiatives.

Workplaces where men compete to demonstrate their masculinity often suffer from toxic cultures, low safety standards, misconduct and abusive leadership. They also exhibit more negative attitudes and behaviors towards women and LGBTQ+ individuals, studies show, which encourages harassment.

To counter these trends, corporate leaders can adopt strategies that highlight alternate models of masculinity; address men’s resentment towards gender equality policies; guard against masculinity contest cultures at work.'

Seems the particular beliefs employees might have, be they sociological or political, are really none of an employer's business. And since when does anyone expect NGOs to take on a nanny-state role to "re-educate" some group in a population? Seems weird to me though the desire for power over their employees is a longstanding truism about employers. Employees, being cogs in their machine, are of keen interest to employers. Perhaps a little too keen.

When will corporations be asked to start asking their female employees abt their attitudes toward the male sex?
