The Landscape

New polling conducted for the New Statesman in the UK in early 2026 found that young women (esp 25–30) have significantly more negative views of men than young men have of women.

* The New Statesman poll was carried out by pollster Scarlett Maguire and colleagues on attitudes between young men and women in Britain, published around 14 April 2026.

What they found:

* About 72% of young men report a favorable view of young women, and only around 7% report an unfavorable view.

* Among women under 30, only about half report a favorable view of men, and around one fifth (about 21%) report an unfavorable view.

* Among women under 25, only about 35% express a positive view of men at all, and just about 11% describe their view as “very positive.”

* Commentary around the poll notes that young women are “three times as likely” to hold a negative view of men as young men are to hold a negative view of women.

* 40% of young women say men don’t share their understanding of consent in relationships (only 25% of men say the same about women).

* Young women are twice as likely as young men to say they don’t want children (15% women vs. 8% men). Among white women under 30, it’s 20%.

* 1 in 4 young women say a partner’s different political views is a red flag.

* 60% would find it difficult to date someone who disagrees on Palestine/Israel or Trump.

* 74% say the same about disagreements on social justice.

* Young women are more likely than men to rule out partners over immigration views.

The Thesis

On X, Rae (@dystopiangf) wrote: “Casual sex is unironically a huge part of why so many women have become politically radicalized. If you ask a random woman why she hates men, 95% chance it boils down to sexual grievance, accumulated from embarrassing experiences like the OP. In other words, women are the real incels (in spirit).

I witnessed this myself in college: one too many bad situationships, and they begin to carry this feeling of being a piece of meat everywhere, projecting it onto “society” despite there being zero material evidence of structural misogyny in the West. The bitter irony is that hookup / situationship culture is a byproduct of feminism; they fought for the ability to be treated like pieces of meat, to be equal to men sexual the way gay men are with each other, but the attainment of this freedom has done nothing but foment an even deeper hatr
