Some part of this is the male influencers, and some part of this is kids being ignorant. But being a straight woman in that age group must really suck.
There is no better proof that one doesn't choose their sexuality than the existence of cisgender heterosexual women. I mean, hell, transgender heterosexual women, good luck to them, holy fuck.
I'm starting to think that being a straight woman just sucks at any point in time, because young men are not the smartest ones on the block. Today's young women, though, realize that there's an off ramp.
Even 100 years ago there was social pressure on young men to learn how to behave properly. Being kicked out of the local church meant that you couldn't hang with your friends and would probably have to leave town.
Today, you can spend 20 hours a day online, hearing exactly what you want to hear.
I've heard this content classified as "traditional" but what I've seen of the manosphere+friends is something else truly terrifying. It's a mix of cult-like masochism and rhetoric you'd expect of a mass shooter or bomber; and it's public and widely-viewed, liked... I grew up Catholic and in "traditional values". This stuff goes beyond "woman is the home-maker" and "a family is a man and a woman"; to "women are sex slaves and property that men dominate". It sounds like the ideology of some vile hentai, and perhaps that's where it comes from.
Hell.., some of this rhetoric IS from mass-killers. The New Zealand mosque shooter was inspired by "Great Replacement Theory" at a time where that ideology was relegated to niche crevices of 4chan. Now extremist racist/incel beliefs are a core part of the platform of UK Reform, USA MAGA, German AfD, and general pronatalist ideology. And those parties are rising or seized power.
Someone was talking about online sports betting.
The pointed out that it's aimed at young men who like sports anyway. Now they have a toxic and addictive app running 24/7.
