The base underlying process here is uncoupling of sex from intimacy (ie bodies are just meatsacks). The original sexual revolution uncoupled sex from pregnancy, this is a follow-on phenomenon, but I think far more impactful - because the need for attachment and intimacy is so strong that a whole generation missing out on it can realistically lead to societal collapse. There are already distinct cohorts of men and women who display hostility and disconnection from each other.
What happened to MeToo? It was an inherently unsustainable movement because the current social norms assert two things simultaneously: commodification of sexuality paired with highly punitive repercussions for transgression in that space. The results are either: mass abuse for some and withdrawal & mass celibacy for others.
