Boys and men from generation Z are more likely than older baby boomers to believe that feminism has done more harm than good, according to research that shows a “real risk of fractious division among this coming generation”.

On feminism, 16% of gen Z males felt it had done more harm than good. Among over-60s the figure was 13%.

The figures emerged from Ipsos polling for King’s College London’s Policy Institute and the Global Institute for Women’s Leadership. The research also found that 37% of men aged 16 to 29 consider “toxic masculinity” an unhelpful phrase, roughly double the number of young women who don’t like it.

“This is a new and unusual generational pattern,” said Prof Bobby Duffy, director of the Policy Institute. “Normally, it tends to be the case that younger generations are consistently more comfortable with emerging social norms, as they grew up with these as a natural part of their lives.”

    I mean, how many URLs do you want from me?

    I mean, one? You’ve literally posted zero. In the time it took you to reply to me a half dozen times you could go look up articles you vaguely remember that are ‘… written by feministsI’ve read love to stereotype and bash men’, take some, and then post them.

    The only thing I can do is to tell you to read my past comments carefully at this stage.

    Or (see above)

      I think you misunderstood what I mean by “most articles”. I mean the articles that reached me. That’s different from the articles that’s online.

      If you just want one, there was already someone who posted two for you. Can you explain to me the point of me adding one?
