That’s almost a litmus test for the Millennial/Gen Z border (for the US at least). Usually remembering 9/11 means you’re more on the Millennial side. Though generations are fuzzy and ill-defined.
I was 5 when Pokemon came to the US, so I don’t think it’s fair to say I remember a world before Pokemon. I have memories from before 5 sure, but nothing that counts as knowing what the world was like. And that’s not even counting hearing about Pokemon from my Japanese cousins before it came here.
I also don’t think it’s fair to say I can’t understand how amazing Pokemon are when those games dominated my whole childhood.
The difference in frequency of these sexist attitudes in gen z men compared with millennials was at most 5%. I believe your girlfriend’s experience but I don’t think it has much relevance to this study. Although generations are a terrible way to categorize data. I wish they weren’t used in research like this. I also wish they gave more country-specific data in this particular study.
Yeah that checks out. My Gen z girlfriend has said as much. She’s into women and “men who are at least old enough to remember 9/11 clearly.”
The Gen Z men she has dated were “rude, cruel, and more interested in controlling me(her).”
If she was dating millennial men when millennials were in their 20s she’d probably complain about PUA techniques being used against her.
What is PUA?
Power Utility Application. “Electrify your woman with this 1 easy trick” bs stuff.
Pick up artist.

For me, it’s if they can remember a world without Pokemon
I disagree, that puts the last few years of Millennials into Gen Z though. That puts me into Gen Z and I’m a few years before the cutoff.
If you can’t remember a world before Pokemon than you can’t understand how amazing Pokemon truly are

I guess it’s the difference between a child who lived in poverty suddenly getting rich versus a child born into wealth
What are you even talking about? My point is that’s not a good measure of the generational transition from Millennial to Gen Z. It’s the wrong timing.
And my point is that you aren’t qualified to make that statement because you’re too young to remember a world without Pokemon
I would like to go back to a world without Pokemon.
