Ugh.
A lot of this is reading as genz men looking to traditional scripts for fulfillment. Don't do that guys. Work out what you want.

100% agree
Probably manosphere spam about the 70s being awesome without acknowledging the high tax rates that supported society at the time.
"Make America great again!"
"You mean like it was when billionaires had a 90% tax rate?"
"No, not like that!"
It may be difficult for some to work out what they want if they have not worked out who they are in a deeper sense.
But that's the problem, many don't know what they want exactly. This can happen to genz women too. Society is shifting all the time in unprecedented ways. What you may want today may not be what you want in 5 years' time. I'd say it's important to work out who you are and why you want what you want.
literally what I said, dude. Don't follow a fucking life script just because it's there.
Weird thing in that story is that “Brad” likes his parents.
Why would you find that weird?
Any genz out there I suggest looking at divorce statistics before getting to in to the idea of kids / marriage / long term relationships.
Population crash incoming!
57% vs 45%? That's the "cluck gap". It's a significant gap, but also means that most people who want kids can find partners who want kids, while most who don't can also find compatible partners.
The headline makes it sound like the "cluck gap" is going to be 90% vs 10% or something.
Also, the oldest Gen Z are still in their 20's. Let's see their attitudes in a decade or so. Yes, many will have unchanged stances. But if Gen X is anything to go by, some will change their minds.
