Young women are more liberal than they have been in decades, according to a Gallup analysis of more than 20 years of polling data.
Over the past few years, about 4 in 10 young women between the ages of 18 and 29 have described their political views as liberal, compared with two decades ago when about 3 in 10 identified that way.
For many young women, their liberal identity is not just a new label. The share of young women who hold liberal views on the environment, abortion, race relations and gun laws has also jumped by double digits, Gallup found.

What the hell is this thread?
This article is about issues like abortion pulling more women into progressive politics.
Some sad turd had to make it about men. There’s always one.
You mean where more young men are choosing to go into the trades, where women are generally harassed out of, instead of college?
I bet there’s still plenty of young men going into comp sci, which is also famously hostile to women.
The gender ratio in compsci in my institution is around 8:2 male:female.
My software engineering major was about 15:1.
My partners software development teacher, who was also a woman, told her in respect to the men who were being hostile to her “get used to it, because it will be the same in the workplace.”
Sadly, some women are reluctant to help each other.
While there’s not enough context here, they do need to get used to it. Of course, help a student out in the current situation but the fact is they are going to experience sexism and do need to figure out how to handle it on their own or how to find any help they need.
I don’t like denigrating my fellow software engineers, but it’s a field known to be male dominated, with a stereotype of poor social skills and presence of a lot of people from more conservative cultures. I like to think most of us are neither sexist most racist but odds are most women in the field will run into it
Ah, very clever. You’re trying to paint the issue of “performing worse” as “happening to them”, as if boys are being oppressed.
Please do keep on revealing your biases in your language, I find it fascinating. Oh, and do make sure to tell all the boys and young men around that you don’t hold them accountable for their own actions, because they apparently have no power over how well they perform. I guess all those naughty girls and women are firing their filthy female mind rays at them, taking away their ability to do homework and revise for exams.
Are boys actually performing worse in school in a way that is in control of the teachers tho? Its not like teachers can chain children to books until their learn the kid has to want to learn either way.
