This video, We need to talk about women becoming more liberal, especially in Gen Z So under 30 years old and men becoming more conservative in the same age group, What is going on? Why is this happening? Not only am we going to provide my insights, but we're also going to provide the insights of my wife Lauren who has some interesting perspectives that I didn't think about. Let's talk about this first. Let's look at the data. This is a piece in the Financial Times.

As this line goes up, you become more liberal. As the line goes down, you become more. There's evidence of you becoming more conservative as you could see in South Korea There's a massive move towards conservativism in men women. slight uptick.

United States Look at that wedge in the United States And this wedge did not start which I originally thought was a potential contributor around roie Wade time which was the summer of 2022 about a year and a half ago. But look at that. a year and a half ago was really this like right? Edge Over here, the spread has really been happening for over a decade now. How Wild Is that Women becoming substantially more liberal? You see this happening not just in South Korea or in the United States but also now Germany and the United Kingdom.

Look at the United Kingdom Here Same divide happening. So what's happening? What are some of the reasons Uh for this? Let's look at some of the opinions of the Financial Times piece here and then we'll also look at uh, some of our opinions and then uh, compare what some of the outcomes of these could be. So right here we see that women aged 18 to 30 are now 30% more liberal than their male contemporaries. This Gap is being seen globally.

Uh, they suggest that the Met Too movement was a big trigger giving rise to Fierce Feminism I wrote down some different ideas and then I want to tell you what Lauren's ideas are? So I wrote down the following first. I wrote down not just abortion, mostly because of the timing of Roie Weade although I do think that's a contributor now more recently. I Actually think social media is the big alignment here that remember I mean I remember joining Twitter for example back when it was Twitter in 2009 and I want to draw just for a moment? Really where we got this rise of for example Twitter you're right about here. Let's maybe draw a little bit of a thinner line.

There we go. Uh, and then really, we had the rise of Facebook in Myspace probably more mid 2000s I Know they were launched a little bit earlier as early as' 02, but you didn't really get Mass popularity until internet was more widely available. uh, especially broadband internet. So I Personally think, really, going into the 2010s, you saw a massive rise of social media.

Now why could this be? Well, I believe that men are substantially more likely to post about business success, and women are substantially more likely to post about familial success Women much more focused on. Here's my husband. here's my family house. Here are my children.

Here's my partner. Here's my family. Whatever it might be. On the flip side, men are more focused on showcasing their Personal Achievement or their company's achievement.

That's business success, money success. Think closely for a moment to the rise of the Andrew Tate mentality on social media which is work out Work Hard Play Hard fancy car Jets Whatever, it is business success achievement. It's not about people's success you very rarely hear about Andrew Tate talk about his children for example, or his respect for women. In fact, I've noticed this just in social media as well.

If I say something like I think Lauren is amazing. she's the love of my life I I I value her so much people are like oh, you're you know, you're uh, whipped or or whatever derogatory comments want to say it's It's less popular for a guy to receive positive reactions for cheering the success of being a father or being a husband that gets less popularity on social media as opposed to look at the success of my business or my chat or my car or my workout routine. whereas with women, it's almost the opposite. And so I wonder if that then drives men towards a more conservative, patriarchal 1950s Style right? Finance Conservatism: lower taxes, less government business free values libertarianism whereas women might associate that patriarchy with misogyny.

Andrew Tape misogyny. Where's where's the respect for women, right? And potentially that could be what's driving this divide. Consider for a moment the opposite. I Turned over here.

Uh. turning to the left for a woman is almost like shunning that patriarchy. In fact, if if you look at women and their attendance in college, ready for this, watch, This women now comprise 60% of University and college enrollment men just over 40% 50 years ago, it was the exact opposite. Now of course we could argue and this would be a natural argument that I'm sure many of you are thinking right now.

oh, it's the liberal institutions that are brainwashing women or women are becoming more independent or women are finally recognizing hey, I Don't need a man in my life to run it I Don't need a dude to tell me that it's okay for me to be able to spend money on myself or it's okay. uh, uh, to to, You know, uh uh. live freely and have my own career. It could be this independence of women saying hey, we can take care of ourselves.

We don't need you to do what you're showcasing on social media. I Run the ship. I Cut the logs right. It's an interesting idea.

Now, what's also interesting about this is you would think if men are more conservative and business focused, they'd buy more homes. but they don't. Single men own 8.24 million Homes Single women own 10.95 million homes in America So you've got almost 20% more homes owned by single women than single men. And that's while women still make about roughly 82 cents to every dollar that a man makes and was actually really interesting About this is single moms.

There are about over 15 million single moms in America to just 2.3 million single fathers. So you got Way more single moms 3x the number of single moms that you've had since the 1960s. And so I wonder is is what we're seeing with these uh, these shifts in in political preferences Partially a a sign of women sort of revolting from what men are very used to promoting on social media and is this sort of a recoiling of no, we don't need you But unfortunately, and I don't know if that's the case, but unfortunately, what's happening is it seems like there is less empathy for the other gender today than ever before. Now that might be because of this.

Gap Look, when you put somebody who's further left in the same room as somebody who's further to the right, it's harder to build a relationship with somebody who is diametrically opposed to you. Now, don't get me wrong, I Me, Lauren and I We have different opinions, uh, on on some things as well, but we're both relatively close to the middle to where does it Doesn't really matter if you're 1 or 2% more that way, or 1 or 2% more that way, it really balances out. But I wonder for new relationships? Is it possible that the wedge becomes so large? You actually promote the rise of less relationships, less marriages, and then ultimately less children? In fact, in fact, if we go down this Financial Times piece right here, you actually see that in Korea. So South Korea The extreme situation where that Gap is so wide.

look what happened, its Society is Riven. In two, its marriage rate has plummeted, its birth rate has fallen precipitously dropping to just 78 births per woman woman folks replacement rate is 2.1 Anything less than 2.1 births per couple is population line, and this is potentially now this Divergence is getting worse. uh, and more self- sustaining in the US UK and Germany Young women now take far more liberal positions on immigration and racial Justice than men, whereas more men are shifting towards anti-immigration like supporting the Afd in Deand. look, I Don't really, it doesn't matter to me.

Ultimately, if somebody is left or right leaning I Really consider, consider myself so far in the middle. but I Try to think about this out loud and and I see this and what it's culminating in in my opinion, is jadedness towards the other sex. First of all, obviously I'm in finance When I put out you know a request for interns I get like 99% dudes that apply because it's Finance career right and the the women that have applied mostly not qualified I In fact, I I can't think of a single woman that has applied that has been qualified uh from a finance point of view. Uh, so this is a problem if you are a woman watching this and you want a finance Career email us at jobs atme Kevin.com although I have a feeling I'm going to get zero, but we'll see.

But the point is this: this self-sustaining nature is becoming very problematic because it's leading genders to become much more jaded. and I find men are becoming a lot like heavily jaded towards women. just this idea that they're over it, they're over trying to please a woman and men are like screw this I don't need a man in my life I'll do it myself and it's sad to the point where the number one response that I get when I ask women whether they're strangers and I survey them younger older doesn't matter I say what do you wish men would do uh uh for you, it's it's not. It's not provide.

It's not have children with me. It's not work for me. make money for me. It's none of that.

it's just be nice. That's the overwhelming response I get is just be nice. Can people just be nice? But that's probably a lot harder when there's such a a political divide between. uh between.

apparently in the Gen z uh it it it seems like it's substantially more extreme that what you're seeing amongst uh Millennials what? I Also thought was very interesting is when I look at Tate for example, you've got twice as many men like or support Andrew Tate than women and that's about 26% total average. Obviously more, uh, younger men, uh, than older. but so the total average is about 26% %. Uh, according to the New York Post, only about 133% of women support uh Tate so twice that? about 26% uh for men.

but uh, you know I wonder, do do those preferences amplify this H manliness, patriarchy and then that leads to the recoiling in women? I'm not sure, but uh I think it could all be bridged by being nice and I was talking about this briefly this morning in our open uh Market open live stream Totally free. You could join me there every day the Stock Market opens and somebody met mention that every time they watch a Tate video the next day they get in an argument with their spouse and they're like what what's going on and they find them so they catch themselves being more aggressive and more I my rules this way. whatever. And and of course, women recoil against I mean anybody? would you could be a dude if somebody treats you like that and you get recoiling.

So uh, really interesting I I Don't know what this is going to be, but I do know that birth rate declines are bad for the future of economy, uh, economies. GDP uh Global Wealth It's a bad thing. and uh, really? for for those of you looking for a relationship, uh, you know Lauren and I We've been in a relationship. knock and wood.

We've been in a relationship for what 16 years now? it's It's incredible. And and for us, uh, I mean there's no relationship that doesn't have problems or has had problems. We' feel like we've gotten over all of ours again, knock on wood. But our relationship always started out with the premise of we're equal like neither of us are better and we're both going to work hard and uh, obviously you know our paths and and fortunes and our positioning in life went into slightly different directions.

You know myself. more social media. Uh, Lauren was more in Property Management My real estate led into social media and so on. So of course there are changes that evolved, but when we started we were both equally broke.

On the same footing, we treated each other as equals. We still do so. I Hope everybody can, but why not advertise these things that you told us here? I Feel like nobody else knows about this? We'll We'll try a little advertising and see how it goes. Congratulations man, you have done so much.
