A new brief from the Survey Center on American Life reports that a majority of young Democratic or liberal women say men are a primary source of problems in society, a view far less common among other demographic and political groups. Outlets differ on the exact share, with some describing it as roughly two-thirds and others as a strong or outright majority. The survey also found young women overall are more likely than other groups to say women face serious discrimination in the United States, with a partisan gap in how that view breaks down between Democratic and Republican women.
