Professor Bobby Duffy, director of the Policy Institute, said the opposing views of some young men and women is a surprising trend. "This is a new and unusual generational pattern," he said.

The reason for the contrasting views of young men and women could be the result of social media consumption. That's the view of Rosie Campbell, Director of the Global Institute for Women's Leadership at King's. She said: "The fact that this group is the first to derive most of their information from social media is likely to be at least part of the explanation."

That is not how data is interpreted. None of the numbers you gave are accurate. You can't assume that everyone else believes the opposite of what one group says and polls rarely have just 2 responses to a given question.

The shocking thing about the poll is that Gen Z men responded more negatively to feminism than men from previous generations.

The poll showed that 16% of Gen Z boys/men said that feminism is more harmful than good. The poll also shows that 30% of Gen Z boys/men says that feminism does equal amounts of harm and good. Only 36% of Gen Z boys/men responded that feminism was more good than harmful, compared to responses overall who responded in 43%. The expected result was that younger men would be more progressive than previous generations, but Gen Z boys/men responded less positively to feminism than previous generations.

Only 35% of Gen Z boys/men said that it's harder to be a woman than be a man, 33% percent said that there was not much difference. Again, the results seem more pronounced when compared to other demographics in the poll.

While 37% of Gen Z boys/men viewed the phrase "toxic masculinity" as unhelpful, only 29% said that the phrase was helpful. Compared to girls/women of the same age demographic, 47% said that the phrase was helpful.

I found the full poll data on the college's website. The shocking thing about the data is that Gen Z men responded more negatively towards feminism than previous generations. For the data on Andrew Tate and Jordan Peterson, look at the full data.
