DEBATE: Why Do Gen Z Women Hate Men So Much? - #1094

Did you read this New Statesman article? I did. Okay. What did you think of that? I thought it was fascinating.

I thought it was concerning, but also a little bit predictable that women are well, there was a lot in there. There was, you know, women are have a bleak outlook on life and that they are also spending a lot of time online, which is making everything worse, and that they dislike men so strongly more than men dislike women. I I think that this is to be predicted by an evolutionary framework. Throughout human history, women were very vulnerable because they are

targets of sexual abuse, they because they're reproductively valuable, they're smaller on average, and they needed assistance getting the calories for themselves and for their children. And the data suggests women's foraging isn't enough to sustain even themselves. So women who signaled their vulnerability through um looking kind of pitiable would have been favored. But also any display beyond that, so communicating sadness, communicating need would have been favored. So I think this kind of tendency towards a bleak outlook on life makes sense.
