I believe the real reason is that younger women are liberal is that they have most have that tendency to be a bleeding heart and thinking that people are good.

They haven't been slapped in the face yet and been out in the world to learn that many people are in fact not good and that they don't have everyones best interest in their heart.

My daughter was leaning that way. She made a statement one time and I questioned her on it. Don't remember exactly what it was but it was something along the lines of communism.

I pressed her on it, then asked her on her next test at school, what if she studied really hard for the test (she's very smart and worked hard in school to make very good grades).
That she worked really, really hard studying and made a 100 on her test.
Then you had someone else in the class, that didn't study hard and didn't care as much as she did and failed the test. Badly.

With communism, even though my daughter worked so hard on her test and scored really well and the other person didn't and failed, that things should be even and you both get C on the test. Because that's only fair to both. You can't let someone fail and you can't work hard and succeed and everything be "fair".

She's been a conservative ever since.

Women are more susceptible to group think. Social media is all about algorithms and group think

Women also fall for the next new thing more than men. Progressivism is always the next new thing.

Women are also very susceptible for turning government into their "husband" and look to it for everything.

The ancient Greeks knew this. Even wrote a great play about what happens when women partake in politics. They would be laughing at us if they saw us today.

I think it was the Supreme Court ruling leaving abortion up to the States. Off and on I'm around a fair amount of liberal women. Most all of them have the sense to leave politics and religion at the gate. Many were seething with anger after that ruling.

Imagine, if we were to revote the 19th Amendment. I'll bet, in 6 months, half of this nation's troubles would be gone or solved.

This is a current survey. I'm asking when young women went full commie to this degree. Was it the 70s? It didn't just happen with MySpace, IG, and Twitter. I remember that in the 80s women were the ones into Earth Day and Greenpeace, but I don't remember it being this bad, to this degree.
Lemmy, the chart literally shows you the age ranges of the women...so you can see that women between the ages of 18-29 years old are the most left...so that's when it happened.

Women are addicted to social media and their phones. They are naturally bleeding heart and naturally a bit crazy. Easily influenced and the influences coming at them these days are much different than even just 20 years ago.

Women are retarded.


Defunding the police and increase crime in a city like New Orleans just means more black victims.


Their head would explode if you told them the obvious consequences.

I’d say the pill, abortion on demand, and the welfare state have all contributed heavily to this too.
The women's movement liberated females, the pill, the sexual revolution and women pushing and demanding equality in the workplace created what we see today. In the last 10-15 yrs we've seen just how far the extremes can reach with the actions of black women.

We can either lose civilization as we know it, or we can do the hard thing and start telling women "no"

The abortion people were the ones that caused Roe to get overturned, and to date there has ben no accountability for that.

Abortion people were the ones who sued Mississippi, then got all the way to the Supreme Court and LOST.

If they had left well enough alone Roe would still stand today.

But they didn't do that and ended up fricking themselves and blaming someone else for a dumpster fire of a failure.

Just like Hillary, they never thought they'd lose.

But they gambled and lost.

Why shouldn’t women be like this?

Men had their purpose taken away.

The pill took away all fear of consequences for illicit sex.

They don't need to marry as, even if they fail, Uncle Sugar will be a husband of last resort.

They rule the colleges now.

And now they're told daily how strong and powerful and desirable they are. Far above the brutes. And since they dont Need men anymore, they only pursue the most desirable of men for pleasure (with that small number laughing all the way to the harem).

It’s kind of inevitable that women have become like this. Society gets more of what it rewards.

Young women (ages 18–29) in the US have become substantially more liberal over the past ~25 years, according to Gallup polling data, while young men have remained largely stable.

news.gallup.com

Key Gallup findings on self-identified ideology:

In 1999, about 29% of women aged 18–29 identified as liberal. This stayed near 30% through roughly 2013, then rose (somewhat unsteadily) to a peak of 44% around 2020–2021, before settling at about 40–41% in 2022–2023. That is an 11-point increase overall.

news.gallup.com

Averaged by era: ~28% liberal in 2001–2007 (Bush years), ~32% in 2008–2016 (Obama era), and ~40% in 2017–2024 (Trump/Biden years). The gender gap with young men widened from ~3 points to ~15 points (young men have hovered near 24–25% liberal, with limited net change).

news.gallup.com

Conservatism among young women declined over the long term (to ~21% recently, after a low of 16% around 2020–2021). Moderates dropped as liberals became the plurality.

news.gallup.com

This is not just labeling. Gallup analysis of dozens of issue questions shows young women’s views shifted leftward, especially on the environment, abortion, guns, and race relations (double-digit increases in liberal positions since earlier periods). For example, support for prioritizing the environment over economic growth, attributing global warming mainly to human activity, legal abortion under most/any circumstances, and stricter gun laws rose sharply. Their overall issue positions moved closer to those of older liberals.

news.gallup.com

The shift accelerated after ~2016 and appears across college/non-college and racial groups. Researchers and analysts often point to events like Hillary Clinton’s 2016 loss, the #MeToo movement, and the overturning of Roe v. Wade as contributing factors for a generation raised with high expectations of equality, though no single cause fully explains it. Young women are also more liberal than older women.

nytimes.com

Similar patterns of a growing gender ideology/voting gap among the young appear in some other countries, but the detailed long-term US data is strongest from Gallup. Note that self-identification and issue positions can fluctuate with current events, and other pollsters (e.g., PRRI) sometimes show somewhat different absolute levels or shorter-term stability depending on the exact measures and years.

Jesus frick. In the 80s, there were 18-29 year old women that were very liberal, but it may have been 15%, compared to today's 18-29 year olds. This isn't a phenomenon that started with births starting in 2008.
