TLDR news did a video on this a few months ago. Globally men are going hard right and women are going hard left.
It’s not quite as bad as that: women are turning left more than men are turning right. A few young men are getting fully into fascism/neoreactionary ideology, though many more are just bumbling around muttering “I don’t agree with everything Joe Rogan says but he is funny”. Meanwhile, young women are in the woods looking for a nice bear.
In my experience, women are politically left. But domestically they are conservative.
Most of the progressive feminist types I try to date... all want 1950s gender roles in a relationship. And constantly complain that men are 'manly' enough in the sense of wanting to dominating others, themselves included. They think that me asking them what restaurants they like, is 'feminine'. To me it's just basic human communication.
Something like 50%+ of dating profiles in my city all make references to 1950s gender shit. And they list their politics as liberal or moderate. They want like 1950s style dating too and see the TV show Mad Men as some sort of model of how they want their lives to be, rather than realizing it is a tragedy.
This book came out decades ago and pretty much predicted everything.
"Future Shock" by Alvin Toffler. His premise was that the coming Digital Age would divide the world into the people who were going to embrace the changes and the people who couldn't/wouldn't give up on the Industrial Age.
