The attitudes of young men towards women are shifting to become more ‘traditionalist’ according to Women’s Aid, an anti-domestic violence charity, on the strength of a new survey.
The study – Evolving Manhood: Attitudes, Influence and Well-being among Irish Men – surveyed 500 men and 500 women.
It asked participants to say whether they agree or disagree with a variety of statements.
Two-in-five of the men surveyed identified themselves as “traditionalist”, and of that cohort, 70% believe that women’s issues are “exaggerated”.
