Why Women Have Become Much More Liberal Than Men - Daniel Cox

Daniel Cox is a researcher, pollster and Director of the Survey Center on American Life.
Never before has the divide between left and right mirrored the split between men and women so closely. Women are increasingly leaning to the left, while young men are skewing towards the right. Daniel is the original analyser of this groundbreaking data and has a variety of explanations for exactly what we're seeing in the modern political world.
Expect to learn why there is such an ideological divide between men and women, whether #MeToo had anything to do with this change, what roles abortion & LGTB campaigns play in this, whether conservative men are struggling to find a partner, the implications of the gender political divide on dating and much more...

An example would be in the area of "Young Men Are Checking Out" is actually closer to the male sex drive and women's interest in men being fairly low. One reason could be that because of technology, women don't have to rely on men as they once did, so women don't have to act nice or polite towards men because they can exist and prosper without having a male sponsor of sorts. Food for thought.

[@alexrosario423]

We're talking about values, not political parties. People keep conflating the two, and they're vastly different. 99% of politicians just pretend to have values, but are ultimately self-serving. Conservatism is actually about values, the co-optedly name "liberalism" (not much "liberal" about it) only true value is power. They'll play whatever story they need to in order to expand centralized control, and tug at people's heart strings with half-baked ideas that usually can't stand any real level of scrutiny. That's one of the reasons why women lean so far left- emotional arguments and social issues are especially effective on their minds, because those are the things that interest them most.

Did you know that women make around 80% of consumer decisions? That's a significant influence on our economy and culture considering we live in a post-WWII consumerist society, spanning several decades now. On average, they lean towards being risk-averse, less aggressive, and less stoic. They often prioritize safety and well-being, making them much more inclined to follow rules compared to men. This preference aligns with their support for more government involvement. Obviously, governments and corporations generally favor a populace that is compliant and less resistant, so in their post-modern world men make terrible subjects.

You mention how you did an episode with Freya India where you have men calling you out for having an episode focused on young women when you have like 40 episodes addressing the issues facing young men. More often than not the episodes addressing men falling behind often feel hollow because the people you are talking to still pay lip service to the existence of the patriarchy and deny the sheer level of discrimination boys and young men face. The Scott Galloway episode and this episode with Daniel Cox both fall into this where the discrimination is just a coincidence and not intentional. For example, in this episode Daniel Cox mentions that on the Democrats webpage they will have a list of 16 different groups ranging from location, sexuality, and ethnicities as well as a group for women, but no group for men. It is frustrating to see people point out many areas where men are actively and being discriminated against, but then perform mental gymnastics to deny the obvious fact that it is intentional, because they have grown up with the fundamental axiom "society is sexist against women." Therefore many of the male focused episodes ring hollow because the people you have on deny the lived experience of many young men since they were in kindergarten, all while the statistics just prove the young men's point.

Some people are strong enough to go against the grain, but even then they may have 4 kids instead of in the 1950s when they may have 8 (my Dad's neighbors on each side had 8 and 10 kids).

I think thats a fairly common experience for young men and unfortunately, lots of men never grow out of that stage. I made a conscious decision to only pursue hobbies which dont do that (tennis, chess, reading, lifting weights, running). I realized this after reading this book, Infinite Jest. Part of the plot involved a film which was so good, so entertaining, that people who were exposed to it would watch it over and over again until they would die.

The influence of the bias of the schools isn't always super overt (sometimes it is), but it's still a major contributor. If all your teachers and your school code of conduct and all of that are firmly leftist, then in the first week of school when new students are meeting other students and the 'cool ideas' and trends are being set, which ideas do you think are being shared more openly and which ones are being withheld over fear of pushback from other students or the school itself? Women seem to be more likely to go along with what the in-group is saying amongst their peers, as well as being less likely to question authority. So if leftist ideals are the only ones being comfortably shared by their peers, and those same ideals are reinforced by their teachers and school rules, then I think that's why there are so many girls that become leftists despite being raised by conservatives.

As far as I am concerned ( 50yrs old ex-military ) and from what I can gather from my entire cohort of male mates, relatives and associates.....men haven't shifted noticeably to the right, but have always had a more based, realistic and practical outlook on life and most subjects. I believe my views on important subjects are not that different than my late father and his generation. It is far more pronounced in the way males and females are held to account ( if at all ) for their actions and mistakes, women are very rarely treated like men and have several layers of safety nets to protect them that men don't have. Women are treated differently in the legal system, have " equality " initiatives in employment that basically means preferential treatment, fast track support such as in emergency housing, divorce being a career move where they rarely lose out etc When you have so many backup safety nets, you have the opportunity to explore concepts and ideas that are not based in evidential fact or common sense.....hence the massive support in certain demographics of females to invite millions of male immigrants from cultures that detest woman, huge support for socialism and idealistic societies that have never functioned, constant pushing for equality in jobs that simply do not work ( women in the combat arms of the military ) you are insulated from these bad choices ( or so you think ) If a man fails or falls in anyway, apart from his mates, he is effectively cut loose and left to deal with it. Hence men are the massively dominant group in being homeless, suicides, bankruptcy....or post marriage as we call it........when you are on your own, you tend to be more practical and based.

Its more stigmatizing to be a republican girl than a republican boy and youth culture is mostly liberal. I imagine young women change political beliefs to fit in with their demographic either intentionally or simply being influenced over time by their peer groups. Another theory i heard recently, was that their is no status in being a boring , straight girl, ..especially a white straight girl .... so if you've got a higher status group in which the barrier of entry is low and dependant on self- identification why not join that group and be a part of the "in" group? that would be the LGBTQ community. Social acceptance is very important for young people, and girls seem to be impacted more by their social groups a bit more than boys. I would imagine these are some of the factors why girls are more libreal in general, even if they grew up in republican household.

[@LordRykard9376]

I have a background in Sociology and I think this guy, although well-versed in what is happening, is missing the larger picture. The West, has been on a centuries long accelerating trajectory towards societal atomization. This includes everything from banning cousin marriage (up to 6th and 7th removed), to voting rights, workforce participation, telecommunications technology, birth control, etc. As individuation has accelerated, so has the loss in social ties one has to family, friends, neighborhood, community, etc. Social ties with other people serve as emotional, financial, and cognitive support systems that help us, as social creatures, bear and and navigate this crazy world. Social ties nurture us, protect us. Without them, everyone is highly susceptible to information campaigns, radical political movements, narcissism, PSYOPs, etc. Using this frame of reference, it is not surprising so many women vote overwhelmingly to the left and are concerned with politics that only involve themselves. The demonization of men has been a blessing in disguise for them. Not only has it spared them the worst of this social engineering, but its actually bringing them together to form coalitions again.

[@TheDb1t]

I get the feeling these researchers are going about this incorrectly. (This isn't bashing Daniel Cox, but in general.) The world has changed, many men are growing up in broken homes with no resources to go to college/university let alone any help from parents/mentors. You can't hold a job for twenty years and make a living wage like one could in days past. Right now most are working multiple part-time jobs. Most work having no upward advancement unless it's a rather rare or prestigious job. Video games aren't a cause of the problem, their a symptom/outcome of it. Men don't want to play video games all day with an AI girlfriend, they do so given it's what's left to them. You can always work hard and make yourself better in a personal sense, but... on a national or macro level things have gotten to the point you're 'special' if you end up in a happy marriage and have a decent job if you're under forty. (You are always responsible for just yourself, but this is about the entire whole. There are always those that just want to play all day and not work, but it doesn't explain the sheer number doing so now. The men haven't changed much, the world around them has.) Women are now men in terms of how they're expected to join the workforce and men are having trouble finding success. That effects both men and women in dating and their happiness. Social media wouldn't be such an issue if it wasn't for those really struggling seeing those who are living in gross wealth. That just means, if most had a decent living they wouldn't care, but the gap between wages makes it all the worse. Many thinking they're the odd one out and failing while the world outside is wealthy, which it is not. It makes men feel like failures, and women think that average men are making over $100,000 a year and creates a divide that can't be bridged and unreal expectations. No one would have anxiety from social media if they felt confident about their circumstances and had a decent life.

[@sues3218]

It worked a lot better when we did things the old fashioned way. Dad worked to provide, mom stayed home and was involved in the kids life more, and her community. Now, both parents are working and giving their kids to teachers and daycare workers to raise them, and giving them access to social media without supervision at all, and they don't have the maturity to handle it. It has been a terrible social experiment, and we are now reaping what has been being sowed.

I haven't heard them talk seriously about a major influencer on women: school - university and K-12. They both bush it off saying students don't pay attention even to the syllabus but I've watched in person. Women have historically been influenced by authority figures. Teachers and professors are ideal authority figures. Boys/young men tend to rebel and push back while females tend to try to follow exactly. I say that as someone who's taught math at a university. I've watched girls I've dated turned left at a conservative university. Females tend to pick majors with professors (definite authority figures) who are almost radically liberal be they female or male. Women, as the majority of students at a university, are influencing what has been taught and as they return to the public schools and universities as a majority of staff and professors turn the curriculum even more left and turn their students especially girls/young women left. Young women raised in conservative homes are turned at school. Time after time. The feminist movement has reduced the authority of the dad and replaced it with the government and schools. Culture via media and social groups and trying to fit in as well as student loans for majors that don't tend to turn into medium or high paying jobs are also heavy influencers but the power of liberal professors and majors especially over female students was brushed off in this episode.

I struggle with the notion of drawing a parallel between "imbued values" and US political party affiliation or political ideology. We're living in a world where the most prominent and outspoken anti-war media figure in the US is Tucker Carlson, of all things. When it comes to earnestly held values, Democrat and Republican is as meaningless a categorization as is left and right - or even liberal and conservative - in 2024. These categories are no longer consistent or predictable determiners of values, if they ever were. They're tribes. Cults, arguably. Their 'values' are at best oppositional, and at worst cynically self-serving. I considered myself a liberal - often an out and out leftist - for decades. Few of my values have changed yet I'm no longer welcome in those tribes, and with good reason. They've morphed into something unrecognizable to me; a place where indeed I do not belong. This doesn't mean I've moved to the right - though that's what my former crew insist - it means they've moved somewhere bizarre and I've retained at least some of my ability to think for myself.

[@michaels4255]

Republican party has never been ideologically consistent, and at one time the Dems were not either, but after 1972 they increasingly moved in the direction of being a pure "social democrat" party. GOP is more conservative than it used to be, but not nearly so much as the Dems. At one time both parties were basically vehicles for getting elected and not much more. Unfortunately, the left has become increasingly inclined toward authoritarianism and repression. It is harder than ever for them to accept that they may sometimes not get their way about some things. They view their opponents or dissenters as enemies to be utterly suppressed, not as part of the inevitable give and take of a democratic process.

14:45 "Their felt sense is trepidation. They're in a lot of fear." It's pretty telling that this bombshell of an observation is just casually glossed over in this discussion. People don't just feel fear for no reason at all, it's largely an autonomous response. One or two guys being afraid of rejection is one thing, but we're talking about hundreds of thousands if not tens of millions of men who feel this way. It's mass fear on a societal level, statistically comparable to authoritarian regimes. It's interesting that these discussions never really have the courage to ask why that is, probably because it would lead to some pretty harsh criticism of third wave feminism and the overtly sexist and oppressive conditions it has fostered in the workplace and beyond, as well as a civilian government that has financed this paradigm largely on the backs of men's incomes. When two men have to tiptoe around these things in their own discussion, it's clear that the problem goes much deeper than what's being talked about here.
