As author John Gray said, if men are from Mars and women are from Venus, then something is certain.
Mars is MAGA territory.
And Venus is Kamalaland.
In fact, as polls consistently show, the intersex voting gap is now perhaps historically large. For example, a new NBC poll found that men support President Trump by 16 points (56-40) in the upcoming election. In contrast, women support Kamala Harris by 14 points (55 to 41). For those who hate NBC (and I can sympathize with you), it's more than just a chatty network. Polls from left to right and center, from Gallup to Pew, all show the same divide, albeit with some variation in size. And the ultimate public opinion poll, or voting, reveals that difference. For example, in the 2018 midterm elections, men supported Republicans 51 to 47 percent. Women won 59-40 for Democrats.
This gap between men and women is also evident among young people between the ages of 18 and 29. Harris has the support of both men and women, but support among young women is surprisingly one-sided. This is not surprising since Gen Z is overall the least “traditional” generation in American history. In fact, its members are more likely to identify as “LGBTQ” than Republicans. And the Harvard Youth Poll reports the following about current trends in this age group:
What is noteworthy is that the gap between men and women, which was 17 points in the spring opinion poll, has nearly doubled to 30 points. Both men and women tend to support Harris, but support among women is higher than among men.
Likelihood of male voters: Harris 53% – Trump 36%
Likelihood of female voters: Harris 70% – Trump 23%
(Note: The only exception to youth affinity for Harris may be young white men, who were the only under-30 group to support Trump in 2020.)
Mars and Venus priorities
So what is politically motivating these young people? Rachel Janfaza writes for the Free Press and describes how she interviewed men and women between the ages of 18 and 34. She naturally noticed that men and women see the world very differently.
For example, Janfaza quotes one researcher as saying, “For many young women, the world is an unsafe and unfriendly place.” “Young men look around and realize that a culture of female empowerment views them as irrelevant at best and villainous at worst.”
And as I reported, what these guys are seeing is no illusion. They have been brought up in a “boy war” society where they have been really demonized.
It's no surprise that women feel unsafe and think the world is “unfriendly.” As I pointed out in 2011's The Security Sex, women naturally crave security. This is why women are attracted to strong, muscular men. That's why they're attracted to men who boast wealth and power, why they're more cautious investors, and why they're attracted to highly intelligent men (Einstein had many female fans). This is seen in all species, and is why male animals display themselves and behave in a dominant manner to attract females. And this makes sense from a survival perspective. After all, women must ensure a safe environment for their children if they are to survive.
This phenomenon is also part of the reason why married women tend to move away from Republicans, even though women in general are majority Democrats. In general, wives feel a sense of safety and security through their husbands. The only man who is always present in the lives of many single women is Uncle Sam. To quote Ben Franklin's famous line, women are similarly too often willing to trade “safety” for freedom.
Abortion Uber Ares
In speaking with young women, Janfaza discovered one notable priority: prenatal infanticide. She writes, noting that young women have moved significantly “to the left” since President Trump's victory in 2016.
Today, young women are more likely to say that abortion should be legal under all or most circumstances, that gun laws should be stricter, and that environmental protection should be prioritized over economic growth. is increasing.
In contrast, the young people cited by Janfaza were more pragmatic. They prioritized issues such as rising prices, employment, the general economy, and combating censorship.
However, prenatal infanticide appears to have been the female's overriding problem. As Janfaza says, “Young women say they are fighting for their bodies.” But is it?
One commenter on Janfaza's article scoffed, writing:
You're going to pour billions of dollars into big pharmaceutical companies for completely unnecessary “vaccines” forced on people through lies and duress, and then you're not going to tell me it's about bodily autonomy.
These women, he concluded, were “brainwashed.” They are “leading this country into oblivion purely to kill American babies.”
Another commenter said the obsession with prenatal infanticide is “inexplicable.” It's as if “women have to have an abortion every month or something,” he writes.
not all women
Of course, there are some women who don't believe in this leftism. How incredible is that? In 2018, commentator Megan Fox was so shocked by the actions of many women during Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation hearings that she examined what the “argument against giving women the right to vote” was. He said he felt it was necessary to do so.
Militant critic Ann Coulter was even more outspoken in a 2003 interview with the Guardian. “We would be a better country if women didn't vote,” she said unashamedly. “That's just a fact. In fact, in every presidential election since 1950, with the exception of Goldwater in '64, Republicans would have won if only men had voted.”
Indeed, men and women, if they had their way, would end up with very different governments. So we should ask: What would be the consequences for our republic if we went from founding fathers to voting daughters?
