Professor Bobby Duffy, director of the Policy Institute, said the opposing views of some young men and women is a surprising trend. "This is a new and unusual generational pattern," he said.
The reason for the contrasting views of young men and women could be the result of social media consumption. That's the view of Rosie Campbell, Director of the Global Institute for Women's Leadership at King's. She said: "The fact that this group is the first to derive most of their information from social media is likely to be at least part of the explanation."
But at the same time, 19 year old men today are way more "in the know" than 19 year old men back in 2005
I think it goes both ways. Many are significantly more in the know, and many are significantly more out of the know with completely fucked up warped views.
