Roy Dawes, an associate professor of political science at Gettysburg College, said that while young women have been quickly adopting anti-patriarchal attitudes, some young men have started to feel alienated. And these men are finding community online, he added.

“Young men are desiring a return to more traditional roles,” Dawes said. “Social media algorithms exacerbate this by segregating young men and women, with young men highly susceptible to online influencers with anti-feminist and often misogynistic messages.”

Dawes also pointed out that young women are outpacing their men counterparts in academic and professional achievement, which also contributes to Gen Z men’s feeling of social and economic stagnation.

“These factors have combined to have an impact on the context of the heterosexual dating world with an increase in remaining single and a decrease in more traditional marriage and reproductive patterns,” Dawes said.

That, and low earnings relative to the cost of living is why Americans aren't having kids.
