As a relatively young woman, I like being treated as an equal in a partnership, rather than as a utility in a relationship. I'd rather be alone than a grown adult's nanny. This is a wild idea to many young men who have trouble respecting women, but insist they are the most respectful to women because they hold the door open sometimes.
Well when who you are is being directly attacked, of course it’s going to radicalize you (I’m not using that word in a negative manner either). But look at at what is happening around reproductive rights from abortion, to birth control, to maternity leave, etc. These affect a core of a person and you have a large group of people saying “we want to control this for you”.
My exact first thought. After decades of (uneven) improvement, women’s rights are globally taking a massive hit. No wonder women are becoming more left leaning.
Remember, remember the coming of ROEvember
Isn’t this the one that was shown to have biased data due to opt-in polling? Randomized polling shows less of a divide and more liberal views amongst young people. I can’t find it right now though
