Why is the younger generation of men more conservative than in the past?

What is it? I find it frankly scary for my daughters to think this is the type of thought that men will have of them when they look for a potential mate.

It is obvious. This generation of males continue to be plagued by toxic masculinity.

Once we, as a society, take toxic masculinity seriously and do better at ending it, then things will improve politically.

Democrats are always denigrating boys in education, considering them too aggressive.

That's pretty much my white college boys experience. He's tired of being seen as the problem. Most of his friends are the same. I also disagree with the trad wife expectation, my kid fully understands the economy and how it operates. It didn't help that his HS experience ended during COVID in FCPS with all the crazy prolonged shut downs.

My white college boy doesn’t feel that at all. His professors are mostly white men and the students in his science classes are majority white men. The place he interned over the summer had a majority white men staff with the leadership being mostly white men. He lives in a state with a white male governor and the majority of politicians in power in that state are white men. As he said to me, I don’t see the effects of male oppression in action here.

+1 I have 2 white DS in college (minus the white make governor) who are not threatened at all. But, the college thing is a MAGA talking point. My MAGA brother stopped talking to me because he thought I was placing them in danger by sending them to college. He sends them weird texts and books about how oppressed they are and they pass them on to their group texts and all have a laugh because he is ostensibly paranoid.

Both voting for Dems, one in a swing state. Probably because they see DH who isn’t threatened. He doesn’t think women or minorities are going to take his pie, he just thinks more pie for all to enjoy!

I'm a straight white male and that's how I see it as well. Nobody's taking away my pie nor even threatening to. Instead we want to fix our system. There's plenty of pie to go around.

Huh? Never happened to me or anyone I know. Only if they were "aggressive" in the sense of bullying and harassing other kids, which isn't something we should be tolerating or encouraging anyhow.

DP.

LOL. This is the least "toxic" AND least "masculine" generation in modern history.

What you're really talking about is wholesale elimination of masculinity as it's been understood for millennia.

And you're surprised that the objects of your grand experiment are none too pleased?

This generation of males is plagued by people with your viewpoint.

Isn’t it ironic? ‘Growing some balls’ is exactly what people seem to want to cut off both figuratively and, in some cases, literally. It’s like there’s a push to strip away traditional masculinity, like assertiveness and ambition. And even funnier is the trans angle, where, yeah, that’s being cut off too but that's a whole other topic. Hilarious.

+100 It has unfortunately made both men and women unhappier. There are inherent differences between men and women and these should be embraced rather than demonized. Fighting nature never wins in the end.

Straight males = bad has been the message from the Dems for a long time.

Your daughters better acquire some cats. Young men will seek traditional spouses elsewhere...most likely overseas.

Men are "toxically masculine," has been the message from the left for years.

Men are by definition "masculine." How can a man help that he is masculine.

The hard core left made being masculine (which a guy can't help) toxic.

A relationship study found that half of conservative men are satisfied in their marriages — the highest of any demographic. In last place are liberal women. Less than a third of them are satisfied in their marriages... probably because they're with liberal men.

Do you change the case on your sex pillow to launder it a couple times a year? She/her definitely has feelings for you, and they are all positive, not imaginary.

Except in the past you would have expected that type of attitude to be rooted in religion, especially evangelical Christianity, and now it’s sort of a weird mishmosh of secular atheists and people who don’t care about religion one way or the other, traditional Catholics, and is lighter on the evangelicalism/fundamentalism of the 90s and 2000s. There are still some, but it’s not the same as the Bush or Tea Party years.

This. They've been brainwashed for the past 10 years by weirdo older men on Youtube, video game chat channels, etc that were funded by billionaire conservatives. Andrew Tate, Prager U, et al explicitly began targeting minor boys with their slanted content.

They literally were indoctrinated to start hating women and "others" when they were 14-15 years old. And no one has really written the true story about this. They didn't target teen girls with this content - just boys.
