Nearly every demographic group moved noticeably rightward in America’s recent election. Even young women — among the most reliably left-leaning voting blocs — moved away from monolithic support for Democrats, but a significant gender gap of over 20 points persists between Gen Z women and men. Trump got only 33% of the 18-29 female vote in 2020; he got 40% in 2024. Compare this with 41% of the male vote in the same age group in 2020 and 49% in 2024.
Triumphalism at Trump’s victory should not obscure the long-term challenge posed by that gap.
This gender gap is often blamed on the rightward move of young men. Not so.
Women worldwide are moving left. “The trend in most countries has been one of women shifting left, while men stand still,” wrote John Burn-Murdoch in the Financial Times during fall 2024. Young men are drifting left by some measures as well, but with nowhere near the speed and enthusiasm of women.
Young women are the voter base of nearly every far-left political party and political cause in the modern world, from the German Left to Spain’s Socialist Workers Party. Estimates suggest that college-educated women made up nearly a third of the Democrat base in 2023, a proportion that has doubled in a generation. Young women, especially unmarried ones, broke hard for the Democrats in the United States in 2020 and 2022. They still broke for Harris in 2024, but not as hard. The Democrat Party is the single women’s party, as their media allies sometimes say.
Liberal young women support abortion on-demand, racial favoritism, gay rights, gun control, open borders, tax increases, and green energy. Brookings argues that young women are most interested in “sexual harassment, domestic violence, child abuse and neglect, and mental health problems.” A recent poll found that white women with college degrees have opinions far different from white men with or without college degrees and white women without college degrees. Unlike the other groups which are either sour or neutral on DEI and the war in Ukraine, for instance, white women with college degrees favor DEI by 31% and the war by 53%. They hate DOGE and Trump. They are hardly concerned about bread-and-butter issues like economic growth, unemployment or budget deficits. Young, credentialed women increasingly aspire to suppress speech in workplaces and through laws.

This is actually great news for CAT Farming.

AWFUL
Defund the universities. What do they buy us?
If we could deport the AWFULS, America would be a paridise.
“I am a strong and independent woman, and I don’t need no man to take care of me.”
“That’s great. I applaud your independence.”
“You do?”
“Sure. Go ahead. Be independent. That’s awesome.”
“Okay ... but ... but ... who will take of me? I know! Big Government! I’ll vote for Big Government and they will take care of me. You pig!”
All commercials and billboards I see for universities have mostly women. “It will empower you, babe to have that degree in social work.”
Women are literally getting crazier. The more options and choices and huge egos and self-entitlement, and anything they dont like about men automatically being labeled “women hating”,
It will not go well for them.
Try hiking a trail in any National Park. Lots of chicks alone.
Bottom line, “ya can’t fix stupid”.
Young women (and men) have been thoroughly brainwashed in school, social media and entertainment.
They're getting indoctrinated.
Men are less likely to get brainwashed.
Charlie Kirk was enormously successful. A part of his appeal was to reach out to young men who were feeling disenfranchised.
Females who aren’t in the work force tend to watch more TV, more msm news, and the liberals are good at appealing to their nurturing nature’s via the msm bs tactics- shows also,tend to be heavily skewed liberal,and woke, so the non working females are getting wokeucated at a higher rate than men - men tend not to,care as much about news and TV so they aren’t as saturated with liberal wokeness. Colleges on the other hand the males I think tend to get more hyped and radicalized for some reason. I really hope pres Trump and crew can severely cut down on the woken3ss, but I think it’s gonna get worse if states tske it over as liberal states throw a fit and “punish” the Trump admin for cutting funding
That is pretty much in a nutshell-
