The ideological gender gap between young men and young women looks to be an international phenomena.
The ideological convictions of young men and women have recently diverged to a much greater extent than formerly was the case, shown by the widening gap between blue and red lines. We know it is real, but the "why" is unclear. Would somebody please post a sensible explanation for this phenomenon?
Can it be something as simple as women are more tuned in to what people are "supposed to" believe? More likely to let themselves be influenced by social media?
