I read another article that interviewed a journalist from a beer sales industry magazine who framed the customer sales drop as ‘older customers being confused by societal changes that don’t confuse younger customers’,
This is the same thing as the Owen Jones argument about them being on the right side of history, the belief that we are seeing a generational change in the West.
I can't predict the future, and so I can't tell whose side (if either) will win, but if their side wins that future will not be a pleasant place for anyone assigned a vulva at birth.
Perhaps the younger generation wants that future, but it's far more likely that they can't even see the problem because they don't have the knowledge of history and the understanding of how societies work to see what all this will mean for us vulva folk.
The woke ones I've talked to believe that women, certainly what they call cishet women, have been completely equal with men, perhaps even favoured, for many years now, and that "rights are not a pie" so that none of the changes they push for will harm boring women's rights.
At the same time, strict gender roles and rules are making a comeback, and that must be driven by their generation and its opinion-makers, so sometimes I do think that some young people actually do want a more sexist world to return, and so it's their problem to fix this mess.
