Do millennials have a closet fascination with masculinity?
#1
Millennials are the first generation to really open their arms to the most extreme tenants of feminism. On the surface, they'll talk about "toxic masculinity" this, "rape culture" that, and develop some of the most complicated and ever-shifting rules of engagement when it comes to gender relationships and dating, but when you look below the surface...is this really what they want? If we look at both of them separately


men:
- Call of Duty
- PUA/"How to be an Alpha Male" courses
- gym bro culture
- put a lot of effort into being a "badass" (but they are ashamed of this, and consider it a cardinal sin to pursue it overtly)
- RPGs, MMOs, first person shooters....video games all focus on strength, overcoming enemies, etc

women:
- 50 Shades of Grey 
- tendency to hopelessly fall for "bad boys"
- "must be this tall to ride", size queens, 
- demand supreme confidence from sexual partners 
- growing contempt for male feminists who claim to be supportive and give them what they want

Action movies do well with millennials, but the more recent attempts to feminize that space, while giving them what they say they want, have tanked in recent years and been met with some serious backlash. 

Neil Howe wrote in The 4th Turning and Generations about how millennials would eventually grow into a more conservative, sexually-differentiated generation, and the more I look at the trends...he just might be right.
