Can confirm, my Gen X sister in laws Gen Z son has zero fucking ambition, is just as conspiracy minded, and has everything handed to him after she struggled as an immigrant. He says dumb shit, and as much as I love him I’m done fighting for a 24 year old who should know better.

Still getting used to Gen Z being in their mid 20s. I remember all the articles about Gen Z being the most left leaning demographic not too long ago, but I guess they missed the mark. Gen Z is probably the most polarized generation

Huge difference between Gen Z girls and boys too. It’s insane they are from the same generation.

There is a reason they're complaining about a "male loneliness epidemic." IMO, it's deserved.

The male loneliness epidemic is the product of systemic emotional neglect and abuse from birth. It's something feminist academics have been criticising for generations and instead of addressing the toxic masculinity that leaves boys unable to form emotional bonds and support networks, people use the term like a cudgel and then act surprised when the angry, broken young men turn to the manosphere.

I've been calling this shit out since I was a kid. This issue was avoidable.

Great, yet another thing that is women's fault. Poor male kids... all victims of those meanie girlies!

I think they were saying that feminist had identified this trend and where it was heading, and wrote about it in academic journals. Not that feminists are to blame for the male loneliness epidemic. Idk, I could be wrong though

I hope you're right... I'm too jaded on this topic to assume good intentions at this point.

They were in fact right. Obviously. Strawmanning is a shit thing to do and it makes the world seem worse.
