Why Young Women Moved Left While Young Men Stayed Sane
X (formerly Twitter) ^ | January 16, 2025

Posted on 01/17/2026 10:50:55 AM PST by MinorityRepublican

Bill Ackman quote tweeted a graph showing the partisan gap between young men and women almost doubled in 25 years.

Women moved radically left. Men stayed roughly where they were.

Good question. Most answers I've seen are either tribal ("women are emotional") or surface-level ("social media bad"). Neither traces the actual mechanism.

Let me try.

First, notice what Wanye pointed out:

https://x.com/xwanyex/status/2011813443209146730?s=20

We've been told for a decade that men are "radicalizing to the right" and that this is dangerous. The actual data shows the opposite. Men barely moved. Women moved 20+ points leftward.

The story we are told is exactly inverted from reality. And when female leftward movement does get discussed, it's framed as progress: "women becoming more educated, more independent, more enlightened"

They'll tell you the graph shows enlightenment and progress. Wrong.

The graph shows is capture.

This Isn't Just America

Before getting into mechanism, something important: this pattern isn't only American. It's global.

The Financial Times documented it last year The gender ideology gap is widening across dozens of countries simultaneously. UK, Germany, Australia, Canada, South Korea, Poland, Brazil, Tunisia. Young women moving left on social issues, young men either stable or drifting right.

This matters because it rules out explanations specific to American politics. It's not Title IX policy. It's not #MeToo. It's not the specific culture war of US campuses. Something bigger is happening, something that rolled out globally at roughly the same time.

South Korea is the extreme case. Young Korean men are now overwhelmingly conservative. Young Korean women are overwhelmingly progressive. The gap there is even wider than the US. Contributing factors include mandatory military service for men (18 months of your life the state takes, while women are exempt) and brutal economic competition.

The skanks are getting too many concussions from playing men’s sports. They all have mental issues and are afraid to marry and have children because they’re afraid they’ll pass the mental issues on to the baby.

Men long denied the company of women will not stay sane.

White leftist women look at black and brown people the same way they look at their cats. Helpless creatures who act as vessels for the maternal empathy that should have been poured into the children they aborted. 1:45 PM Jan 6, 2026

Couldn’t have said it better myself.

My sister explained to me that women are afraid of becoming bag ladies. If women don’t have a husband and lots of life insurance then the women will want a welfare safety net. And since women many times grow old and hate men to a larger degree, the women will want divorce and a welfare safety net. Basically, women want to spend other people’s money. If not the husband then the government. It is called women’s liberation and women are allowed to vote.

REPEAL THE 19TH isn’t some joke or some playful meme. It’s something that needs to happen if we are to save this great nation. Over 80% of women under 30 in NY voted for Mamdami.

Males normally don’t believe everything the far-left sexual KNUCKLEDRAGGERS vomit on TV. Why? One. We can’t understand what the Marxist Fidels are talking about with their psychobabble on the DemonBRATS’ Snooze Shows. Second. WE DON’T REALLY GIVE A S**t what they are saying.

Soon men and women will forgo each other for robots that offer more in every way.

Eventually, it'll get resolved. NYC will end up under the control of an Islamic Warlord like Mamdami lol.

It’s all about having sex without having children as a result.

What really stands out to me from those graphs is how often women become more liberal at the same time men become more conservative and vice versa.

They overthink things wzy too much

That leads to uselees increased stress

Leading to unhelpful therapy and drugs

Leading to distorted worldviews

And of,course most don’t do individual streaks, they want group consensus so groupthink is constant, no deviation allowed or shunning occurs, they hate that
