Had a discussion with my niece and daughter (both 18) tonight about men. I thought with the new era women would be more aware of male behaviour and womens inequality. However from what I’ve heard men are equal to women and do not have a different status/experience to women. Women are encouraged to chase as they understand it is hard for men to approach women. Men are equally abused and sexually assaulted as much as women are. They just don’t come forward to validate statistics. Women are just as sexual predators as men and biological and evolutionary qualities do not apply to these issues. It’s a nurture consideration. Our generation are apparently too cautious of men and cannot see that men have flaws and no man is perfect but we expect them to be!!!
Seriously I thought we had progressed but obviously not. Very worrying!!!
As much as I demonstrated my views and knowledge they did not see my perspective. I just left it as ‘you will see when you get older’ What else could I say. My words meant nothing. It’s so frustrating!!!
People are really surprised? Not to generalize here, but Zoomers as a generation epitomize the idea of being so open-minded that your mind falls out. I know many are smart, but as a whole on any side of the political spectrum, they're very bad about virtue signaling and use a lot of black and white thinking to navigate discourse and ideological/social issues. While there IS certainly a surprising number of radfem/rad leaning Zoomers, they still suffer what all generations of women suffer: living in a patriarchal society that ingrains sexism in them from birth.
Not to mention, with all this sexual abuse and DV stuff being brought into the light, there is inevitable pushback from the anti MeToo crowd, and if you want to show you're One of the Good Ones, you as a girl better throw under girls under the bus, no matter how horrific their stories.
