I would say "no" to that survey and can't see how 58% of Americans think there's great or even some tension between the sexes. Because, like, there's not. I know there's all the "womens march" and abortion stuff but that's not tension between the sexes, that's tension between different views, the different views are still gender balanced. There's this idea that anti-abortion is all men being men but the anti-abortion movement is dominated by women, so how could the abortion disagreement be a tension between the sexes? It can't be unless you ignore the actual positions. Men aren't more anti-abortion, they're split and this makes complete sense if you realize why would men be against abortion when they get no strings sex from it and lots of men favor that far more than they would "controlling" women by having kids with them. Abortion is something that happens to women so of course they're going to have stronger views on it than men, which means anti AND pro will both be stronger than any position among men. And this is what the polling constantly shows, you have a third hardline pro-choice, a third hardline pro-life and a third compromise to the right of the left position. Men don't split like this, they do a cleaner 50/50 because they don't really give a shit about the specifics, it's an abstract consideration, women do care about those.
Similar thing is college, it's 60% women now. Yet all we hear about is how it's male dominated even though it's not. Certain fields are and they're male dominated because there's no women in them at all. That's not "tensions" between the sexes, the tensions are created because everyone is demanding every field be 60% women even if there's no women in them. The tension is being created by weirdos in the first place.
I don't even know what other "tensions" people would be thinking of, these are like all the examples I ever hear. Well, other than that right-wing fascist stuff about women's sports when everybody knows women's sports were created because men were fragile and didn't want to lose to women.
