I think the huge issue is the nature of competition between men and women in the current hypercompetitive society. In the past, I would agree most chauvinism was from people who resented answering to a woman or competing against her on the same job etc. but I don't think Gen Z really has a problem with women bosses and co-workers at the core.
The problem is in the past when men competed primarily against each other, women were left at the sidelines but when men won, they generally elevated their women with them (at least as much as that society would tolerate). Now that men and women compete, some irresponsible voices from feminism/social media talk about gender competition as some sort of zero sum game, and women--not just Black women--do not see it as their role to elevate men in a similar way if they win as men used to elevate their women. In fact, they are told it is ok to shame them or berate them for not reaching a certain standard.
So if the man loses, and in our hypercompetitive world many men will lose, he has no outlet or salvation--and since women are more educated he doesn't even have as many female peers to console himself with--but society still looks down on him for his failure while not seeing any mutual bond or responsibility between women and men so he loses both personally and socially.
This is my big issue with modern feminism. Not that women shouldn't be educated as well, or make as much, or hold the highest leadership positions in the land, or not be protected from domestic violence, or have to temper their aspirations to have a family. My problem is women are taught that not only should it not be just a man's world but the men are your competition or even your adversary.
The issue is if you elevate women without the reciprocal responsibilities men had towards women in the past (and yes, there were responsibilities to their women from traditional men) you are basically setting up women to be isolated and embittered and later even easy targets for demagogues as most men receive no dividends from their success.
People trying to balkanize society whether MRA or extreme feminism don't realize that losers will destabilize their ideal world. The fact is though, men are more prone to use violence and agitation if they are left out so there is a bigger risk in their disenfranchisement.
Exactly when men win they say "ok now I must bring up my family"
Women were introduce enmass to the labor force and when they win they are not saying "now I must help my family" they are saying "now I demand more from a provider"
So it is like ok if this is the new gender role for women then why does it make sense for men not to adjust the rules OR say fukk the game.
The left tells men to just STFU up while the right says let's return to the old game. It would be one thing if the left saysnwe understand your pain and these women are tripping, the new rules is 50/50 partnership and we should be uplifting each other as the only way to make it In this modern economy is partnership but no they reward renegade BEHAVIOR AND INCENTIVIZE the breaking of family structure.
I PROMISE YOU if all Family law and divorce law changed to No Alimony complete 50/50 w no child support unless the 50/50 cant be met, mandatory DNA test at birth, etc. if the left pushed they would get all these dudes on their side…..but then the women will leave lol
