Women are from Venus — and men can stay on Mars.

Female Gen-Zers have far more negative views of men than young men do of women, according to a bombshell recent survey.

More than a fifth, or 21%, of women under age 30 have a negative view of the opposite sex, reveals a poll by the UK’s New Statesman.

That’s almost four times the 7% of men under 30 who feel the same way, the study found.

Just half of women of the same age meanwhile had a positive view of men, compared to 72% of men who had a positive view of women, the study shows.

For women under 25, 27% have a negative view, and only 35% hold a positive one.

“I don’t care for them. They’re not bad people, but they refuse to call out their friends who make other girls uncomfortable,’’ a young woman named Ruby told the outlet, referring to young men.

“They’ll laugh at jokes that are sexist, racist, homophobic.”

The poll of young British people also showed that women under 30 are far to the left of their male peers — and much less likely to date someone with differing views than men are.

“I don’t think I’d even be friends with one. They don’t see you as human,’’ another young woman told the Statesman of a man who didn’t share her political outlook.

The data suggest that young women are shying away from men with different political views because of the internet.

Young women who spent more than five hours a day online hold far more extremist left-wing beliefs about abortion, climate change, and socialism, the poll noted.

A quarter of the young women surveyed said their partner having different political views would be a red flag, with some issues particularly divisive.

Six in 10 said they couldn’t date someone who disagreed with them on the Israel-Palestinian conflict or who did not share their views on President Trump.

Almost three-quarters, or 74%, of young women said they’d find it difficult to date someone with different views about social justice.

More young women in the UK — as with their American counterparts — are in the workforce full-time than young men, with average young women earning 9% more than the average young man.

But the women were also less likely to say they feel “happy,” “ambitious,” “excited” and “fulfilled,” and were more pessimistic about the prospects of a happy life.
