Professor Bobby Duffy, director of the Policy Institute, said the opposing views of some young men and women is a surprising trend. “This is a new and unusual generational pattern,” he said.

The reason for the contrasting views of young men and women could be the result of social media consumption. That’s the view of Rosie Campbell, Director of the Global Institute for Women’s Leadership at King’s. She said: “The fact that this group is the first to derive most of their information from social media is likely to be at least part of the explanation.”
