Suppose you’re a controversial left-wing speaker. Who do you think would be more likely to let you voice your opinions on campus: a slightly conservative man or a democratic socialist woman?
Now suppose you’re a controversial right-wing speaker. Who do you think would be more likely to let you voice your opinions on campus: a slightly liberal man or a somewhat conservative woman?
It may seem obvious that, regardless of gender, someone with a similar ideology would be more tolerant of your views. But recent data gathered by FIRE suggests that’s not always the case.
Amazingly, it turns out that men are often more tolerant of the opposite side than women are of their own side.
The data comes from FIRE’s annual College Free Speech Rankings, which is designed to gauge the state of free speech on American college campuses as well as student attitudes toward free speech. This includes gauging students’ feelings towards allowing various hypothetical speakers on campus, which we can break down by various characteristics. When evaluating the data based on gender, some shocking trends arise.
Men are, on average, significantly more tolerant and less censorious than women. By contrast, while political affiliation makes people more biased towards speakers on their side, it affects their overall willingness to let speakers speak, regardless of ideology, very little. However, regardless of party or ideology, men are significantly more tolerant than women, so much so that the gender difference dominates the ideology difference. This effect is even more acute in the extremes: men are over 3.5 times more likely than women to be “perfectly tolerant” of opposing views — meaning they would definitely allow any campus speakers, including those they disagree with.

Misogynist: Someone who hates women as much as they hate each other.
“When women kiss it always reminds one of prize fighters shaking hands.” -H.L. Mencken
My sisters trust me more than they trust each other.
Crowd four men into a hut and they’ll make it work. Put two women in opposite ends of a palace and they’ll find reasons to hate each other.
Men look at other men as potential fellow soldiers. Women look at each other as competition.
The “patriarchy” protected women from each other.
Men will nod down for a stranger and chin up for a friend. Women will shoot daggers or lie to each others’ faces.
In before the misandrists...
Women will destroy another woman’s happiness out of jealousy.
Don’t attempt to treat women better than they treat themselves.
Women don’t have female friends; they have rivals.
Single women keep other women single.
