In a First, Young Men Are More Religious Than Young Women
https://dnyuz.com/2024/09/23/in-a-first-young-men-are-more-religious-than-young-women/Grace Church, a Southern Baptist congregation, has not made a conscious effort to attract young men. It is an unremarkable size, and is in many ways an ordinary evangelical church. Yet its leaders have noticed for several years now that young men outnumber young women in their pews. When the church opened a small outpost in the nearby town of Robinson last year, 12 of the 16 young people regularly attending were men.

The dynamics at Grace are a dramatic example of an emerging truth: For the first time in modern American history, young men are now more religious than their female peers. They attend services more often and are more likely to identify as religious.

Arguments in other Christian institutions about women’s roles have been raging for decades. Some churches have cracked down in recent years on practices like women speaking from the pulpit. The theology of complementarianism, which asserts that men and women have some separate roles in marriage and church leadership, is resurgent. And many of these same churches are beginning to speak more openly about their conservative political convictions.
Young women, it seems, are moving past the debates — and out the church doors.
About two-thirds of women ages 18 to 29 say that “most churches and religious congregations” do not treat men and women equally, the Survey Center on American Life found.
Young women are asking more questions than their forebears, said Beth Allison Barr, an historian at Baylor. Her book “The Making of Biblical Womanhood: How the Subjugation of Women Became Gospel Truth” was a surprise best seller in 2021, sparking widespread conversations in conservative evangelical circles.

a few might think it a good way to meet women and then there is the incel group drug there by Grandma to free up her basement for fumigating. 
...but there's definitely a subculture of young men, particularly in Catholicism--and especially in the conservative-to-radtrad factions--where the incel (or, to coin a phrase, incel-adjacent) mentality is too obvious to be ignored. You find them predominantly online; however, most of the larger cities have an otherwise defunct parish that has been renovated to cater to the radtrad Latin Mass crowd, and those parishes tend to attract some pretty maladjusted, scruple-obsessed young male radtrads.
Some in the far-right media have noticed these trends and they are attempting to cater to the traddier-than-thou incels. The OAN network seems to be particularly interested in these topics lately. 
No friggin way and I going back to be second class and under the thumb of a man! And you have to wonder if these churches are recruiting grounds for the proud boys and those other men with small penises groups who are anti woman not wanting to admit they are gay! 
My first husband was that type of guy who I divorced and now happily married for over 35 years to a man who treats me equally!
