American political ideology as a whole has shifted left in recent years, but women are becoming even more liberal, according to Gallup.
The survey data, released Wednesday, shows that while the country remains largely center-right, the percentage of those identifying as or leaning liberal has increased over the past three decades, and is now just 1 percent under it’s all-time high.
Roughly 36 percent of adults identify as conservative, 25 percent as liberal and the rest identify as either moderate or unsure, according to the poll.
When broken down by gender ideology, women in the youngest and oldest age groups said they were more likely to identify as liberal.
Women ages 18-29 were 40 percent more likely to be liberal in 2023, a slight decrease from 41 percent in 2022 and 44 percent in 2020, but still higher than the 30 percent in 2013. Those ages 65 and older were 25 percent more likely to identify as liberal — a slight increase from the 21 percent reported in 2013.
That’s just nonsense. I don’t agree with the conservative movement either but how is it hostile to women? Let alone extremely hostile.
Abortion ban with no exceptions as the other person said. That’s dangerous and cruel.
Some are against no fault divorce. That’s insane. That’s going to keep people in abusive relationships. That can affect men too but is more common in women.
Deny any gender gaps in pay or other economics. If you refuse to acknowledge a problem, it’s unlikely you’ll remedy it.
Some members seem to think women having the vote was bad, if I remember that Thiel essay correctly.
Generally anti inclusion and diversity stuff.
Frequent apologists for rapists.
At best are indifferent to sexual harassment as a problem.
Bad on social programs, so downstream from that you have like childcare. That affects men, too, but I think via tradition that affects more women.
Bad on child leave. More laws granting maternity and paternity leave is not a conservative position.
That’s just shooting from the hip. I’m not prepared to write a well researched essay on my phone on the train at this time, sorry.
Abortion ban without exceptions
How many states is this actually the case and how many is it just an elective abortion ban with actual exceptions put in place?
Shoo, troll.
How fragile is your worldview that someone disagreeing with you automatically makes them a troll?
Your disagreeing only makes you wrong- it’s your comment history that makes you a troll.
Most of Lemmy only knows what conservatism is based on the strawman they get from other lefties, and even if they did know what conservatives actually believe, the vast majority of Lemmy users are incapable of evaluating someone else’s viewpoint on its own terms; they will declare it internally inconsistent when it is merely inconsistent with their own values.
You’re asking a question with the presumption of empathy. That makes you a good person. It also makes you an outcast here.
That’s disturbing and I wonder what I’ve gotten involved with here then cuz I thought this would be the anti-reddit that would support free speech and make it great.
If you find a Lemmy community where you can be yourself without getting encircled by screeching harpies, let me know. I haven’t been at home on social media since before Ruqqus got overrun by neo-Nazis.
Why is it that political extremists seem to dominate the conversation on social media? I don’t want a forum made up of communists or neo-nazis. Lmao that’s so cartoonish that I have to say that but here we are.
