Prediction of sex-negativity counter-wave by Substack writer Katherine Dee
Some of her predictions and observations:
- Broadly, there will be a counter-trend of sex negativity which includes a decrease in hookup culture, decreased acceptance of sexual deviance
- Millennial women will be scrambling to have kids on their biological clock
- Romanticizing of conservative, traditional cultures like Mormons, LDS, etc. will be part of this
- Driven by human desire for identity as part of a group. My comment: this is partly a response to diversity acceptance culture
- "The complete and total death of the girl boss archetype"
- More skepticism about cosmetic plastic surgery, eg. lip fillers, botox, and so on
- Predicts big lawsuits around endocrine disrupters
- "reactionary childbearing": people having more kids earlier as a reaction to previous trends
- Reversion back to traditional gender norms, traditional views on gender roles

Direct quote:
I’ve been tracking a number of keywords on social listening tools since people started to ask me about ‘the coming wave.’
Here are just a handful of trends that are up by thousands of percentage points:
- Girl boss feminism and neoliberal feminism as a pejorative
- Complaints about hook-up culture
- Skepticism around feminism, in general
Her writing is rambly and scatter-shot, but if you look past that this is likely a canary in the coal mine of a larger cultural trend
