    That’s generally the consensus, that young men are roughly as conservative as they were historically, but women are more left-wing (although maybe a bit less than expected, given recent election results).

    Results from Reagan’s 1980 election win look fairly similar: https://ropercenter.cornell.edu/how-groups-voted-1980, excepting that women and men were voting in similar ways for each age group, and bigger margins to Reagan in the older groups.

    EDIT: Nevermind this doesn’t actually show age by gender data.

      Idk what that means though. Are you saying men always felt women’s place was in the kitchen and now women are saying it isn’t so they’ve moved more liberal?

        Pretty much, although it’s not just about gender issues. Women have turned more progressive on a variety of issues (climate change, the economy, social issues) whereas men haven’t.
