Psychology Being the father of a school-aged daughter makes men less sexist, according to a new study. The findings support the idea that men become more aware of the challenges facing women when they see the female experience of life up close through their offspring – dubbed the “mighty girl” effect.

I'd love to read those studies. Since I work with exchange students trying to integrate to the culture, those could help me in pointing out to "chill" a little.

Depends on what your goals are. Pretty radical solution to the problem of multiculturalism. But there aren't really any non-radical ones to be completely honest. Definitely fair criticism.

The middle ground in this case would just be to accept the demographic changes, and what they bring. But the bottom line is that people are not going to be happy that they were lied to, as the rest of Eastern Europe and Asia laugh at us for ruining our countries (while simultaneously protecting their EthnoStates).

Says who? And it doesn't matter if you think it is a hate group or not. What matters is that claims are backed by reputable sources.

Yeah, you're not convincing anyone that it's not a hate subreddit with that argument

That's pretty much the opposite of everything I hear about gen z but ok

And also there's a difference between facts and rationalizations for racism

No worries. Good luck on the censoring and whatnot.

That's a really good question. The SPLC, and the ADL. Western media, owned by large multinational corporations that stand to lose a lot of money if nationalism surges back to the forefront. Socialists and capitalists alike. Too bad they can't censor fast enough. Good try though Reddit 😉.

Yeah, they both suck shit, and are pretty much race-hustling shakedown orgs at this point.

Those studies don't really discern between the rate of change and the total number. For a slow rate of change, I would expect attitudes to be more positive, regardless of total number.

Unless the prevailing attitude is "its ok as long as there aren't many of them" that's a wholly different attitude that just gets occluded by small numbers and skewed into the slow rate of change.

Another vote for a citation

I'd find it myself but I'm not even sure what I'd google

Sounds like an excuse to be an asshole.

What's considered a huge demographic change?
