What in your opinion could this explain these trends?

i find it funny that everyone assumes this is the result of brainwashing by social media algorithms, and not that conservative policy is increasingly unpopular with women. at least in my country, conservatives are trying to ban abortions, restrict access to contraceptives, and their frontrunner is currently on trial for defaming a women he sexually assaulted. the mental gymnastics it takes to ignore all this, and assume it's an algorithmic conspiracy is frankly staggering

It's all left/right nonsense. The two party system is a fallacy to make us believe we live in a democracy because we can choose a new master every few years, by putting a mark on a piece of paper, when really they are all working for the same side while professing to be for this or that. It doesn't matter, it's all designed to create black/white polarization and division to keep us all fighting amongst ourselves over petty stuff and sometimes some bigger stuff, while they get all together and implement whatever they please, according to their masters orders. It all works really well and, yes, media messaging, tv, film, social media algo all play a huge part in this. We think we are having free thought and making our own decisions but we heavily are manipulated! Elections are heavily manipulated via social media. That's where elections are being held now. People need to start researching this. It is fascinating and horrifying all at the same time. And it's been going on a very long time. The advent of social media has completely changed the script.

Easy, its 60 years of feminist brainwashing. And men are manning up, because bad times creates strong men. Healthy men has sound rational thinking ability, while woman mixes emotional with rational whlie thinking.

This is a fascinating trend. I didn't know it was a global phenomenon. I'm going to predict that women's views will start closing the gap.

The cliche is that men care about ideas and women care about relationships. As it becomes more socially acceptable to hold conservative ideas, more women will profess to hold them, especially if it helps their romantic relationships.

If that's right, a longer timeseries of this same data should show women lagging men.

"men and women" have been in a bit of an ideological war for...ever. this feels like a product of the internet reinforcing underlying value systems that tend to be gendered. in other words, the potential for a discrepancy was always there, but it's recently been reinforced by self-psyops via everyone being able to more easily talk to each other.

As @nout noted below... it was probably the algos.

And I'm not even being facetious, I genuinely think they are having an impact this large. An academic study of transgenderism in teens showed that the most predictive factor is social media usage.

I'm confused by the legend, which says it is based on "percent liberal minus percent conservative." It looks like women started out as a 10 in South Korea and went to a 30. Trying to imagine numbers that might produce a 10, I think 55% liberal, 45% conservative would do it, because 55 - 45 = 10. Since it went up to 30, I think that means the numbers shifted to something like 65% liberal, 35% conservative.

But this doesn't seem to make much sense in the UK. There, the number went up to 50 for women. Wouldn't that mean it is something like 75% liberal 25% conservative? Because that seems incredibly unlikely. I very much doubt that 75% of women in the UK identify as politically liberal.

The data sample is probably biased, or maybe the age group explains it (uk)?

The natural biological difference in personality traits like agreeableness (more common in women statistically) and also a predictor of liberal tendencies AFAIK but this can't be the whole answer on its own.

The way I interpret the above graph is as follows:

Men want to go back to a "traditional" relationship with old-school roles.

Women want a relationship with more personal "freedom" and "independence" from her partner, no old-school roles.

How right or wrong am I?

It doesn't say what they mean with "lib" and "con".

You're assuming societal issues, could be true. It's the FT so maybe they're thinking economic as well which would me more like democratic vs republican maybe. Does "con" mean status-quo conservative or political (reationary) conservatism? Does "lib" mean actually liberal or do they mean leftist? Or did everyone in the poll interpret that word differently?

The algorithm has figured out that relationships compete for attention.

Looking at this chart, what I find interesting is in SK, Men are changing a lot while in the US and Germany it's the women changing more. And what's with UK doing all this 10 years ago? Does this correlate to adoption of a particular app?

Females are apparently more affected by social contagion and peer pressure. I have a feeling this could be a lot to do with it. Women seem to care more about what others think. I find my female friends are more prone to virtue signalling to "look good" and the men give less of a 💩 what others think.

I was asked to supply information to tick some boxes yesterday, a requirement for something completely unrelated to the questions asked, for which the government has the privilege of storing that data for a number of years and use it for whatever purpose they wish to illustrate.The questions were awkwardly phrased by the lovely female interviewer ..

So.... (my name) how would you define your sexual orientation?" She then shows me the list of options on a clipboard as I'm sitting next to her, she looks up to the ceiling of the building, waiting for my response.

I reply. Oh you know, heterosexual, I guess. Yes! Heterosexual I suppose. If we want to be factual.

We both avoid eye-contact. Interviewer reads next question.

Men are more easy to brainwash through neoconservative and nationalistic ideas of make X country great again. In a world where the oppressed ethnicities (which were slaves till very recently) women (which still in many countries have no rights) and other minority groups historically discriminated have stronger voice and power than ever, the people who feel loosing power with all that changes are men. Young men specifically can feel they are loosing the privileges previous generations of men had, and so becoming more conservatives and against change.

So at the end is the forces of occupation, colonization and war against all changes needed in the world for all people to be free.

Politics are tricky and have a tricky past. I feel we’ve come a long way in the US. Think of men working in the farm and in factories. Women stayed home and without modern technologies that was a full time job plus with a house full of kids.

This current WOKE movement is swinging the pendulum too far the other way and we need to find more common ground. Social media tries to pull us apart. People should have national pride above all else, but in America I see people prouder to be republican or democrat over American. It’s sad. It hurts male female relationships, families, neighbors, and lets them win.

The root cause. Well a big one is flat money. It is forcing both partners to work and heightens stress and pushes political views. Hard money aka Bitcoin fixes this!

The specific survey was heavy on questions about immigration as a proxy for political leaning. This is a big lever in US & European politics (don't know SK well).

The narrative on immigration is that it is a greater threat to the kinds of jobs men typically work, than women.

I'm anti-borders and pro-immigration, but can see how these ideas filter through mainstream media and influence beliefs and fears.
