However, women are trending overwhelmingly liberal, enough so that Gen Z is still deeply liberal (48% Dem to 33% Rep according to this article). What surprised me is that 10 years ago, young adults were split 50-50 on this topic, so it has swung heavily in the liberal direction. I had always heard that young voters were strongly liberal but I wasn't aware how the split was.
It really is an interesting topic to look at. I sometimes wonder if this is an effect from people like Joe Rogan and other faux intellectuals that push their brand of masculinity and how it is often tied to the current GOP POV. Male teens aren't known for being the most astute and it can be quite easy to play on those insecurities. Given that the messaging from right-wing media tends to lean that way it isn't at all surprising that they can sway them in such a way.
