One has to remember where these Gen-Xers are coming from. Many of
them have divorced parents, and they grew up in the 1970s-80s, amid
the most unbelievably toxic family atmosphere possible, thanks to the
feminist and Democratic party policies.
In the 1980s, a woman could make any accusation at all and send a man
to jail. There were many men who went to jail on phony rape charges,
and spent 10-20 years in jail, and only got out because of the rise of
DNA technology in the 1990s that proved that they weren't rapists, and
that the so-called victims had lied. However, some feminists still
take the view that it's ok to send men to jail on phony rape charges
since all men are rapists -- though feminists still think it's
perfectly OK that Bill Clinton violently raped about ten women, since
feminists love and adore rapists when they're Democrats. (The current
Harvey Weinstein situation is loaded with hypocrisy, it's almost
beyond belief. The Democratic Party is the party of rapists, and for
a Democratic rapist to be criticized is laughable.)
But the other thing that happened in the 1980s is that feminists were
telling women constantly to divorce their husbands and lie about phony
domestic violence and child abuse charges. As it turns out, most
physical child abuse is perpetrated by mothers, even when you account
for time spent with the children, and most child sexual abuse is
perpetrated by the mothers' boyfriends. It's very rare for a
biological father to be a child abuser. Feminists also told working
mothers to quite their jobs, so that they could get as much support
money as possible.
The children, who were Gen-Xers, saw all this going on. They wanted
to spend time with their fathers, but couldn't because their mothers
had lied about domestic violence and child abuse, and the courts
automatically agreed with them and used the charges to humiliate the
fathers as much as possible. Any father who claimed it wasn't true
was humiliated further by being accused of being in denial, and forced
to go to farcical training sessions, whose purpose was to explain to
men why they're all rapists and batterers, and they must agree or
they'll be punished further. This made things even worse for the
children, who blamed the father for not standing up to the mother.
Feminists have enormous political power. Any piece of crap that comes
from a feminist press release is automatically taken as fact, and
anyone who contradicts it is screwed.
By the way, these conclusions are well documented, with thousands of
references to scholarly and feminist documents, in my 2001 book,
"Fraternizing with the Enemy - A book on gender issues for men and for
women who care about men", which was based on 15 years of research:

which is available for free from my "downloads" page:

So the children growing up the 1980s in this toxic, hateful, feminist
environment were very well aware what was going on. These children
had no fathers except for a string of men in their mothers' beds. The
mothers were openly lying to the courts and getting away with it.
Their real fathers, whom they really wanted to be with, were treated
as criminals and forced to stay away.
(By the way, I'm not talking from personal experience, but about what
I learned from interviewing hundreds of men, women, feminists and
experts over a 15 year period.)
So if you're wondering about the motivation of Gen-Xers today, just
look where they came from. They learned from their mothers, following
feminist advice, to lie to everyone, to screw everyone (in every
sense), and to cause as much harm as possible to the people that the
Gen-Xers loved. So the Gen-Xers are just doing what their mothers
did.
If you think that I'm exaggerating, then just download the PDF of my
book and read it. Everything is well documented.
