In my experience, a lot of these dudes are also incredibly aware of how their politics are perceived in general and don't espouse them as blatantly as someone from an older generation might.

Being someone masc presenting at work, I've had several instances where I ended up alone with other young male coworkers and was subjected to outpouring of misogynistic nonsense when they thought they have someone who was on their side and wouldnt report them.

And whats more crazy is I've never been close to any of these people outside of a work environment and never discussed anything remotely personal at all. They genuinely just thought "here's another male, they'll agree with me". Mostly millennial more than gen-z if that matters to anyone.

For more personal anecdotes about the older generation thing. I've had two older like gen-z bosses who just blatantly pointed out women's bodies they were eyeing while we were walking into work with like a crowd of people. Boss dynamics make it also different but it just also feels like younger dudes wouldn't be as blatant idk.

Hmm, you might have a point. I could definitely see them being better at keeping it to themselves.
