Young women increasingly identify as 'liberal' —study
American Thinker ^ | October 10, 2022 | Eric Utter

Young women are more likely to identify as liberal now than at any other time in recent history, while young men are not.

Thus, we have the largest gender gap in this regard in at least a quarter of a century. According to Gallup poll data, roughly 44% of women ages 18–29 identified as liberal in 2021, compared to only 25% of men.

Those numbers represent a sharp increase for women over just the past three years, as just 35% of women identified as liberal-leaning in 2018. The 19-point difference between men and women who identify as liberal is the largest polling gap the survey has found since it began tracking the issue in 1998. And this is an ongoing trend, as only 29% of women identified as liberal-leaning at the end of the 1990s.

***

What's really driving the continuing radicalization of young women is the simple fact that more of them are going to college than ever before. There are more women on campus today than men. And many take pseudo-educational "classes" in "disciplines" like "women's studies" or "genderqueer history." Those who have been subjected to years of unrelenting Marxist indoctrination on campus are, of course, far more likely to identify as liberal — and far less likely to get married. They are also far more likely to tell others how to live. And far less likely to be happy.

***

College education has devolved to the point that it is now just a vehicle for statist indoctrination. Since young women still tend to be more accepting and naïve than young men, they are more receptive (i.e., easier marks) to the hackneyed dogma incessantly thrust upon them. Once again, a clear indication of the binary nature of the sexes.

I predict that this will result in an increased demand for paper bags.

When I call my lifelong liberal, multigenerational liberal friends and cousins liberal they deny it. That’s because they don’t deal in facts. They are flimsy relativists. They can’t stand up to their husbands their daughters. No one. They certainly can’t stand up to a common sense conservative armed with facts.

It’s their way of slithering

Now the media is completely foul of liberal relativism. The entire culture led by the media. The term is easier to identify with. The military brass the White House. Congress they’d all complete flimsy wimps so it’s safe now to ID as a lib. The rinos are the last hold outs.

You want an idea for a good long term investment? Cat food. Because in 20-30 years these broads are going to be lonely, bitter and own lots of cats.

Not a big surprise. Most young people are liberal or independant for a while. Also, females in general are more likely to conform to what is said to be the norm.
Men are affected by peer group too, but I think women moreso.

Smart young men should be leery of marrying college educated women then.

Maybe went to a few Trump Rallys and failed to connect with some guys.

Conservative guys are pretty smart. They can see a phony a mile away or five feet close.

Proves my ongoing point:

Stupid IS a disease, it’s an order of magnitude more serious than the former ‘crisis’ and it’s getting worse with every passing day.

(most FReepers are immune. I did type ‘most’...)
