It has long been the case that American women are generally more liberal than American men. But among young Americans, this gender gap has widened into an enormous rift: According to recent Gallup polling, there is aĀ 30-point differencebetween the number of women age 18ā30 who self-identify as liberal and the number of men in that demographic who do the same.
Thatās largely because young women have gottenĀ muchĀ more liberal, while young men have stayed ideologically more consistentāor, according to other analyses, become more conservativeĀ and anti-feminist. (Of course, not every person identifies as a man or woman. But gender roles still play a big part in shaping our lives and politics, and in the context of this column, I am focusing mostly on the vastĀ majority of AmericansĀ who identify as one or the other.) Itās not happening just here either; the political divide between the sexes is a trend thatĀ researchers are observingĀ in some other countries too.
Wow thanks mate!
I ended up using archive.is and they donāt even link to Gallup poll in the article!
So instead I googled to find the poll I had already seen last month and guess whatās it was exactly as I already knew it was.
Wow, the information I already knew pointing out the only group of women becoming more Liberal are older women was as I said it was.
Gee golly look at that, the data is very different from the premise of the article like I had said in my original post.
Iām so glad I had your snarky arse fucking response to help me realise what I already knew.
Uhā¦ buddy? Every single one of those lines is trending up.
You need some glasses there buddy? Clearly only the dotted light blue line is going up lately, with everyone else decreasing the last few years.
