A fissure between men and women is reshaping British politics

I think you’re giving way too much weight to trans issues in voting patterns. Most people of both sexes just don’t really care or know much about it. And I certainly agree with a pp that the absolute last place I’d look to support women’s rights is the far right. The same group in the US who are vehemently anti trans also call for a complete ban on abortion and for wives to be prevented from voting “against” their husbands.

"Gender" in this article has nothing to do with Genderism, it's bring used as a synonym for sex. The article is just saying there's a notable difference between which parties women and men are voting for especially at the younger end,

None of them support women’s rights. None of them. They only attack them from different angles.

What I take away from the chart is that both young men and women are more supportive of ‘liberal’ parties but more young women support the Green Party than young men. However, as we get older, we all get more conservative (or wiser or more cynical or have more skin in the financial game take your pick).

This is not surprising. Women are socially conditioned to bekind and make way for men. It often takes a lifetime of getting fed up of being the default support animal for the scales to fall from our eyes. The answer is to stop socialising our DDs to bekind but that’s difficult because we’re still in the bekind phase ourselves when doing our early parenting.

Politically it’s tricky these days. Even within parties, policy preferences are mixed. It’s not a clear cut case of this party serves all my interests and this one doesn’t. It’s not working class = Labour and money = Conservatives. It’s hard to know who to vote for.

First of all, none of them serve all of women’s rights anymore. But what if you’re a landlord who supports Labour on public services but finds themselves unable to evict nightmare tenants because backbenchers are threatening to rebel (again) if rental reform is watered down.

If you think the right wing (especially in the US) is supportive of women's rights, you are letting your views on trans issues hold disproportionate importance in your thinking.

Judging by that diagram, a far more significant shift is the one towards left of centre, measured by age rather than sex.

Yes, I think this point is important.

I think this is complex. Women are more likely to vote with community (including extended family and children) in mind. I am gender critical but wouldn’t vote for the conservatives whose values and appalling track record with public services and morals I oppose. I did vote Labour even though I thought they’d got it wrong about gender. I think the key thing is what are the policies that people are voting based off.

As Red said, the divide between men and women on gender identity isn’t new. Women both have more empathy (whether misplaced or not) and are more likely to respond to manipulative emotional blackmail than men.

'this implies they are behind the pro trans position of these parties.'

No. It doesn't. Believe it or not, the trans issue is only fraction of the political narrative. You can vote for a political party and not agree with their stance on gender identity bullshit.

I voted Labour in the last election simply to get the fucking Tories out. I certainly didn't agree with their stance on genderwoo.

It's been like this for some considerable time. This isn't new. The trend dates back at least ten years.

I'm not sure why this is being touted as something new.

Is it demonising them or shining a light? Even Stephen Bartlett is at it.

Men (podcasters, journalists) cannot bring themselves to say the trans women cannot eg compete in women’s sport -it’s always ‘ it’s a very difficult problem’ ‘we need to be fair to everyone’ - almost never hear a proper answer- Rory and Alistair I’m looking at you -just lying cowards imv

However the stats seem to show that the women are the ones voting more often for the parties that are ignoring or attacking women's rights.

Gender is just apart of it, the young women are buying into it because it's #BeKind, the boys are not buying into it it because it's demonising them, toxic masculinity, potential rapist, white, pale and stale. Genderwang covers the whole of the post-modern claptrap, QT, CRT and GI, they are all heads of the same Hydra.

Yes, like I said copycatting.

For me it has been an eye-opener just how little men care about women's rights. Particularly the extent to which so many male commentators just don't see a problem, and open their stupid mouths to express an opinion without having done any research or thinking on the subject.

Well as all of this genderwang in the UK is copycatting the USA it doesn't surprise that this divisive ideology is causing the same dividing lines here as well.
