Most neoreactionaries I saw online seem to be millennials from the younger end of the cohort (1995-2002). They are oversocialized young men who discover this ideology (invented by Xers) and experience it as a liberation. Their problem is hatred of women. Most of them haven't got enough contact with real women, spend all their free time on video games, they don't get laid. Perhaps some sexy hippie gal could cure them?
What sexy hippie gal? This isn't the "Awakening" anymore. At that time, young women were very feminine, well educated (compared to today), polite, yet un-tainted by radical feminism, and STD-free. They were the kind of girl which returns from a party and said "I don't know what I did there, but this is my new hobby!" No wonder middle-ages Silent men got the "Jennifer Fever".
But today? The young antifeminists attack the "third wave feminists" for being perverted, man-hating, slutty, FAT, and having stupid short haircuts and hair colors. And they have the photos to prove it.
Ever seen a photo of Lesley Gore ("You don't own me") when she sang that song? She was a radical feminist and a lesbian, but managed to be more feminine than the average conservative women of today.
The way younger men may see it: The Silents and Boomers had lots of fun during the Awakening, got all the good women, and since they have the money and the power, they get the better-looking and less radical feminists young women too (as in, today), while the young men get jack and shit. What's left to them? Either masturbate to all kinds of porn, or became gay. You can't expect them to be happy about this.
