GenZ Male-Female Divide

  • I've seen a few videos lately about the male-female divide of Gen Z -- saying men are becoming more conservative and women are moving the other direction. While this sounds bad on the surface, I think this is great because I feel confident that where the men lead, the women will follow. What do you think? Does this trend make you hopeful for the future or do you think we'll see even fewer marriages and families?

  • While they're mostly talking about men being more traditional / conservative vs. women being more liberal, when you listen to these podcasts, the young men have often converted to Catholicism.

    Just curious.   Does that automatically discount anything they say?  The next question is can God speak through them anyway?  Would it be better to discern statements as Godly or not Godly, then trying to figure out if they are on the correct team?  At this point in 2025, who can we really trust?

  • I only watched the second video because I don’t care for Tucker.  It was very good.  They really delved deeper into the problems of finding a good girl these days.  Long gone are the days of finding your life long mate at a church gathering (for the most part).  So sad that those days are gone and I don’t think it’s bad to ask ourselves why, but I think men should be careful not to get so discouraged they feel hopeless.  In the video these guys talk touch on making yourselves into the types of men good ladies are looking for.  I can see why the age gap discussion is pertinent because many modern women over 18 are used goods but some ladies at trad chapels (who are virgins) are being overlooked because they aren’t above a 7.  It kind of goes both ways.  There’s a gal who is in her mid 20’s at my chapel and I am dumbfounded as to why she is still single.  And she’s pretty.  
    Jesus, meek and humble of heart, make my heart like unto Thine.

    Who can we really trust. Ouch! There is no simple formula. From what I’ve learned over 20+ years of paying attention is take in all of the Catholic and orthodox “ to a certain extent” information you can jam into your mind and form your own big picture from there. Never get trapped looking at the small pictures without stepping back and seeing where it fits in the big picture.

    There are 5 guys in the thumbnails, so I'm not sure which you're talking about. Two of them were not in the podcasts, only the picture.

    Either way, do you think the topic is untrue?

    Consider that Tucker is just the guy asking the questions. I found his guest to be very interesting. Raised by Nikki Haley and really doesn't agree with his mom on much of anything. :laugh1: The whole 2nd half of the podcast is worth listening to as an example of what GenZ is thinking, but he only discusses this topic for a few minutes at 1:20:27

    (First half is just Tucker talking to the camera ... definitely skip that. I did.)

  • There are other sources besides the video, where the male/female divide is discussed.  For the millennial generation, the males voted more conservatively than the women.  Millennial men also go to church more than millennial women.

    But the Gen Z divide is far greater, vs millennials.  Whereas most millennial women are self-identified liberals, Gen Z women are more conservative than liberal.  Gen Z men are going back to church in droves, whereas millennial men are going back, but in lesser numbers.

    So, the premise at least in the first video is that men and women are moving in opposite directions, but it sounds like you're saying they're both becoming more conservative, just men are moving that direction faster than women. That's what I think is happening and I think that's what you're saying here.

    Yes, based on what I read, compared to millennials, Gen Z is more conservative for both sexes.  In order of conservatism/religion, the order is:

    1.  Gen Z men, high % identify as conservative and religious.
    2.  Gen Z women, majority are conservative and religious.
    3.  Millennial men, not sure if it's the majority.  Still a lot of atheists in this group.  But politically, conservative.
    4.  Millennial women are rabid liberals.  Not much change.
