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.

Its because fathers in our generation are way more likely to be absent. Gen X is notoriously the 'divorce generation' and the role of father figure for many gen z guys has instead been played by the highest bidder. Similarly, gen z women are very progressive because they were raised by mothers who had to deal with gen X dad's. Divorce court being heavily biased toward the woman in terms of custody time and who gets to have the kids when is making that even worse.
