This is what I see as someone born in 1993, who grewup before modern feminism as a kid and later witnessed the boom of modern feminism while in high school.
What I have seen:
Feminism popularity increased with the rise of hip-hop music.
Popular culture prior to 2008 seems to be widely disliked by both men and women who identify as feminist today.
Feminism blossemed under the Obama presidency.
The premise of feminism seems to be the rejection of the fundamental premise: "A virginal woman was absolutely required or else she became a spinster dependent on her parents for the rest of her life."
Quote taken from (ReturnOfKings.com)
Basically, it was an ignorant fight against the known limitations of arranged marriages, housework and limited exposure to different men sexually in favor of the unknown alternatives to the above.
This created a culture similar to the modern one we see today on Tinder. And notably, one that includes many single mothers prior to the age of 25, and many single childless women over the age of 30.
It also leads to the wild sexuality of men who are hot enough to benefit from Tinder, who also become chronic cheaters in real life. But there has also been a split between sexual have's and have not's. Sexlessness among men aged 18-29 is at an all time high, with now 1 in 3 young men going without love or affection year after year.
As of 2018, female sexlessness between the ages of 18-29 is at an all time high of 18%. In 2016, female sexlessness was 16% compared to male sexlessness at 20%.
In 2002 female sexlessness was 16% and male sexlessness was 15%. In 2002 I was in the 1st grade. In 2009 female sexlessness was at an all time low of 12%. Male sexlessness was also at an all time low of also 12%. In 2009 I was a sophmore in high school. Every year thereafter both male and female sexlessness increased, but male sexlessness inxreased much faster than female sexlessness increased. And today male sexlessness is 10% higher than female sexlessness despite both being at record highs.
Married men are having less sex than married women (yikes). Married women sexlessness is at 0%. Married men sexlessness is at 2% -- more than double.
Data up to 2016 visually:
Mass shootings from young men between the ages of 18-29 is at a historic all time high.
Divorce rates are falling among young people who get married, but marriage rates are at an all time low. Conception and child birth's are also at 150 year record lows.
Those who are concieving children seem to be typically rude people.
Male suicide rates are at an all-time high.
Income inequality are at all time highs.
Corporate profits are at all time highs.
Women are graduating college at higher rates than men, and are outearning men of the same age.
These are my observations of feminism from the perspective of a guy born in 1993.
