Only 1 in 3 Young Women Have a Positive View of Men

I find the incel movement is men just giving up and leaning into really unfortunate biases against women and these myths that women's success has been inversely correlated to their decline and that it's women's fault. And I find it's basically men just giving up and trying to find an excuse for putting in the work that every man has had to put in to try and find a mate.

Why Are We Having Less Sex?

My interest in sexual inactivity is partially because I used to study human sexuality scientifically but also because it to me is a reflection of emotional intimacy and connection more widely. So if people are less interested in having sex, what is taking its place? Why are people less interested? And if this is even happening among married people and people who are partnered up, I don't think that's necessarily a good sign of where we're headed in in society.

Young women are struggling, too. Why can't we see it?
